Being late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) woman often feels like living in a world that's not built for our brains. We talk about the big symptoms, but what about the daily internal tug-of-war?
From the emotional toll of a strong sense of justice to not being able to watch a recommended show. These struggles are real, valid, and way more common than you think.
Here are 4 AuDHD struggles we need to talk about more:
Justice Sensitivity - Caring deeply about fairness can lead to intense burnout and emotional exhaustion.
Hyperfocus vs. Interoception - Getting so lost in a project that your body’s signals for hunger and thirst just... disappear.
The "Vibe" Dilemma - Being hyper-aware of social energy but doubting your own intuition because of years of masking.
Demand Avoidance - When someone recommends a movie, it suddenly feels like a "chore," even if you wanted to see it!
I’m Leonie, and I’m building a space for us to unmask together. If you relate, you’re not alone 🫶
