Sometime in your 30s, 40s, or 50s... I’m so exhausted and I'm struggling to manage everything. It's like I'm losing my ability to multitask and keep everything organized!


Wait, I think I might have ADHD....


I keep seeing Tik Toks and Instagram posts about Autism and it’s extremely relatable....


Wait do I actually have Autism instead?


I keep hearing about something called AuDHD, it’s when you have both ADHD and Autism. Wait, why is it describing me? For the first time ever, I'm feeling seen and understood by the people in these posts and videos.


Wait, I think i might actually have AuDHD.... 


Okay that makes so much sense and I finally feel like I'm starting to understand myself and the things I've struggled with throughout life.


Okay, but now what? What if no one else thinks so? What if I’m just making myself seem like I have AuDHD? I don't want to insert myself someplace I don't belong! Maybe I should get tested so I don't claim to be something I'm not.


How do I do that? What if it says I don’t have it? But I relate to it so much! I don't want to be told I'm not part of this group that I relate to so much, that would be heartbreaking. This is all so confusing and overwhelming!  If this has been your journey, I just want to start by saying, I see you. This was my journey too. You don't have to have it figured out to start therapy and you don't have to have a diagnoses to prove anything to me. We can figure it out together. You just have to take the first step, send me a message and we can continue this journey together.
