In the most AuDHD fashion… we missed the first-ever National AuDHD Day.

But honestly? Awareness doesn’t fit into one square on the calendar anyway. AuDHD (Autism + ADHD) is its own neurotype, and it deserves more than a single day of recognition.

We created these slides to highlight both the struggles and the strengths. And we shared a new blog from our team that goes deeper into what it really feels like to live with an AuDHD brain.
