If you’re seeing this, it’s not an accident. Come sit with me for a minute.
​Late diagnosis is a rollercoaster of relief and grief. You spend years wondering why you don’t fit in or why Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) makes every social interaction feel like a test you’re failing. Not realising that its not laziness it is executive dysfunction. You mask so well that people don’t believe your struggle, but I see you.
​The "shoulds," the shame, and the internalized ableism, it’s time to let them go. You aren't a broken version of "normal", you're a wonderful version of you. The next step is self-acceptance, and you don’t have to do it alone.
​How are you feeling today? Relieved, angry, or just tired? Let's talk in the comments.

ADHD Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. What is RSD? Late diagnosed autism in women. Masking and unmasking. Internalized ableism. Neurodivergent mental health. Why do I feel like an alien? Finding your tribe.

Building on the idea of trading resolutions for intentions, here is my Neurodivergent Intentions List for the year! These are flexible, kind, and designed to work with my AuDHD brain, not against it.
​My main focus areas are Self-Compassion and Structure that actually works. My intentions for the year include:
​Being More Present
​Self-Compassion
​Meeting my needs for comfort, joy, and movement.
​Reintroducing systems that worked in the past
​recharge time
​If you are setting intentions instead of resolutions this year, you are choosing progress over perfection. ✨
​Which intention from this list resonates most with you right now? Let's normalize low-pressure intentions! 👇

Instead of diving into my 3,000-word assignment, my brain went, "Dollhouse exterior must be painted NOW." 🤯 And honestly? That burst of misplaced hyperfocus brought me so much joy and lowered my overall stress more than staring at a blank document.
​I know the assignment will get finished now that I've satisfied the need for creation. That’s the AuDHD way: sometimes you have to do the 'wrong' thing to get the capacity for the 'right' thing.
​Do you have a project that completely derailed your priority list this week? What did you hyperfocus on instead? hyperfocus examples. Autism creativity. Motivation paralysis. Dollhouse painting. University assignment stress. Neurodivergent students. Productivity shame.

Happy New Year, Neurospicy fam! Seriously, let’s normalize giving up on January 15th and taking the pressure off. 👋
​For the AuDHD brain, setting rigid, all-or-nothing New Year's Resolutions is a guaranteed way to trigger executive dysfunction paralysis and the resulting shame when we inevitably miss a day. It’s a setup for failure.
​This year, let's trade Resolutions for Intentions.
​Resolution: I must go to the gym 5 days a week. ❌
​Intention: I want to move my body in ways that feel good this week. ✅
​If you miss a day, it’s not failure—it's just data. Pick up the intention tomorrow! Your worth is not tied to the goals you keep.
​What Intention are you setting for yourself this year? (Low-effort, single-word answers encouraged!)

Does this sound like you? This is the chaotic truth of the Hidden Costs of AuDHD. It's not just the surface-level struggles, it's the internal chaos of constant masking, the exhausting contradictions, and the invisible costs like Time Blindness and the heavy weight of Guilt and Shame. Its also not just monetary loss.
​It’s exhausting to constantly deal with Object Permanence issues (with both things and people).
​Make ambitious plans but be paralyzed by small tasks.
​Panic before a social event but then enjoy it (until the social hangover hits).
​If you are late-diagnosed, which one of these Hidden Costs finally made you realize, "Wait, this isn't normal?"
ADHD Object Permanence. Autism contradictions. Guilt and shame. Executive dysfunction. Social hangover. Late diagnosed Autistic traits in adults. Cluttered brain and space.

I'm tired of performing! As a neurodivergent person, I see the social world as a series of confusing, high-effort, and inefficient rituals.
​Why do we ask "How are you?" if we only want to hear "Good"? It's just a pointless social contract that burns my battery!
​Let's normalize being confused by the unwritten rules! If it's not logical, my brain simply rejects it.

The division is real right now and once again the blame is shifted to a minority group. Creating more stigma, invalidation and upset. The current media portrayal floating round that ADHD is overdiagnosed is incredibly harmful. From a late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD womans perspective, this hurts. It feels like it invalidates the decades we spent feeling "lazy," "flaky," or "too much" when we were just undiagnosed. It suggests that our real struggles are suddenly trendy.
​The real question isn't overdiagnosis, but misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis in marginalised groups (like women, adults, and minorities). If you're late-diagnosed, you know how hard it is to get recognized.
​What are your thoughts on this conversation? Does it make you feel validated or invalidated?

Is ADHD overdiagnosed? Undiagnosed ADHD symptoms. ADHD vs normal behavior. ADHD advocacy. Neurodivergent community. Why are so many people getting diagnosed with ADHD?
