ADHD and Autism Overdiagnosis? REALLY?

Do you ever feel like, even if you've been formally diagnosed with autism and ADHD, that you're somehow making it out to be worse than it actually is?

That you somehow, even though you waited for years and answered all the questions truthfully and all the forms and everything, that somehow you don't deserve your diagnosis?

You don't deserve potential support?

Episode 119 of Soles to Soul Care for Trauma and AuDHD is a solo episode where I share some personal reflections (including my lived and professional experience) around caring for ourselves, our Selves and each other when the world seems inexplicably hostile to the idea of people denied a lifetime of support suddenly having potential access to that support.

Let me know what you think and what helps you own your diagnoses (even self-diagnoses).
