Let’s ditch the small talk. I've set up a challenge where I ask our neurodivergent community one deep question a day so keep watching for the question.
As an Autistic and ADHD thinker, I know our brains live for that deep dive and that dopamine. It's how we truly connect so let's connect in the comments and share our interests and stories
No masking, no apologies, just raw, honest conversation about our beautiful, chaotic inner worlds.
​Hit follow so you can come back each day.

comparison is a thief, not just of joy but of moving onto our next steps and journeys. It is easily done when you have your phones portraying perfect lives. It is difficult to escape from. When you are Autistic or ADHD it can be incredibly difficult dealing with shame, rsd, perfectionism, imposter syndrome and being misunderstood. Compared yourself only to the person you were 3 months ago, 6 months ago etc. How many small things have you achieved in that time?

When an insecure person loses the ability to control you, they will try to control your story.
​They will try to discredit you and make you out to be something you're not because they see you succeeding while they are still stuck. This isn't about you, it's about their fear that your truth will expose their deepest insecurities.
​The reason you don't understand their cruelty is because you could never do it yourself. This is your power.
​Embrace the 'Let Them' Theory. You know who you are, and your integrity will always be louder than their desperate attempts to control how others see you. Keep succeeding.

Things to not hold shame over as someone who is Autistic and ADHD
It's time to retire the guilt. We spend so long being told we're "too much," "too sensitive," or "too disorganized," that shame becomes our shadow. But the truth is, the most complicated, beautiful parts of your AuDHD brain are precisely what you should stop hiding.
You are a complex system that needs understanding. What is the one thing you are shedding shame for today?
