Understanding My AuDHD

This is the foundation. Before we can build a life that works for our AuDHD brains, we need to understand what AuDHD actually is and more importantly, what it means for you.

AuDHD is not simply ADHD plus autism. It’s a unique, often contradictory experience where the need for routine crashes into impulsive creativity, where sensory overload meets hyperfocus, and where the world constantly asks you to be someone you’re not.

In this session, we’ll explore the “AuDHD tug of war” – the push and pull between conflicting needs that lives beneath the surface. We’ll look at how attention, executive functioning, and sensory processing work differently through the AuDHD lens, and why so many of us spend years masking, burning out, and wondering why life feels so much harder than it looks for everyone else.

But this isn’t just about struggle. We’ll also explore the genuine strengths that come with AuDHD – the deep care, the intense focus, the creative thinking, the ability to see patterns others miss.

What you’ll learn:

• What AuDHD means and why it’s not simply ADHD + autism

• The “AuDHD tug of war” and what’s happening beneath the surface

• How attention, executive functioning, and sensory processing work through the AuDHD lens

• The reality of masking, overwhelm, and burnout

• How to recognise and work with your AuDHD strengths

Who this is for:
Adults who are diagnosed with, self-identifying as, or exploring AuDHD – and their partners, families, friends, and colleagues.
