My ideal environment is one with absolute silence AND a podcast AND a show playing AND music AND someone talking to me, and somehow none of it is distracting until all of it is. Follow for more real life AuDHD content from a licensed therapist. • #ADHDWomen #ADHDHumor #AuDHD #NYCCreator

Panic attacks and autistic meltdowns get confused constantly, and it took me a long time to figure out which one I was actually experiencing in the moment. The biggest shift for me was realizing that when it was a meltdown, no amount of grounding techniques or breathwork was going to help because

I thought I just needed to work harder

Being late diagnosed with ADHD is realizing how many of the things you spent years quietly working around were symptoms, not personality quirks or moral failings. The needing external pressure to get anything done is one I still struggle with. My whole life I thought it meant I worked well under p

DIML - I promise these videos have a point. I remember before starting my practice religiously watching these to try and “learn” how to be a therapist in private practice. So to anyone watching I hope this helps 🫶🫶 • #diml #nyc #nyctherapist #audhd #audhdtherapist

The ADHD 11pm brain is a completely different person than the ADHD 11am brain and honestly I think she is doing this on purpose. Something about the second the world goes quiet, the dopamine floodgates open and suddenly reorganizing my entire closet feels like the most urgent and important thing I

The gap between how easy a task looks and how impossible it feels is one of the most disorienting parts of having ADHD. I've had days where I ran a full clinical caseload, filmed content, and answered a hundred emails while a single unopened piece of mail sat on my counter for three weeks judging

When my autism and ADHD are actually on the same page for once

Being AuDHD means most of my internal life is a negotiation between two competing sets of needs, so on the rare occasion my autism and ADHD agree on something, I take it as a sign from the universe. Most of those agreements are about avoiding crowds. Interpret that however you'd like. What's on y

ADHD conversation math, the impossible equation of trying to actively listen to what someone is saying while also holding onto your own thought long enough to say it before it disappears forever. Nine times out of ten the thought disappears anyway. Which one of you is my fellow tongue biter? Let

The Type A vs Type B ADHD divide is real and I stand by it. Type A ADHDers have built an elaborate external system to compensate for their brain and treat that system like a religion. Type B ADHDers have vibes and hope. Both are valid, but only one of us is (maybe?) showing up on time. Which one

Small things that keep my AuDHD nervous system regulated

Regulation as an AuDHD person is less about big dramatic self care and more about the small daily decisions that keep me from tipping over. The one day a weekend with nothing scheduled has been one of the most protective things I've done for myself. I used to fill every weekend and then wonder why

What most people label as laziness in ADHD is almost always executive dysfunction, and the two feel completely different from the inside. Laziness is when you don't want to do the thing. Executive dysfunction is when you desperately want to do the thing and cannot make your brain start. The gap be
