Episode 17: Autistic and ADHD Self-Identification and Misinformation

Episode 17: Autistic and ADHD Self-Identification and Misinformation

Lived experience, awareness, self-identification, and self-diagnosis for autism and ADHD can have immense value, allowing us to connect with a community and share experiences that others may not fully comprehend. However, there are also risks of misdiagnosis and misinformation that can potentially cause harm.

In this episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Megan Anna Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, explore the hot topics surrounding misinformation, social media anecdotes, and self-diagnosis of autism and ADHD.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  1. Understand the importance of finding “data points” to look at the overall person and the importance of doing research on diagnosis using multiple sources.
  2. Identify the reasons for self-identifying as autistic or ADHD.
  3. Learn about the risks and benefits of self-diagnosis and how to make informed decisions.

If you relate to the experience of autism, ADHD, or any form of neurodivergent diagnosis that you hear about on social media or elsewhere, it’s important to gather information and research from multiple sources before fully taking on the identity that comes with a life-altering diagnosis.

Dr. Neff has tons of free resources available on her website, https://neurodivergentinsights.com, and Instagram page, @neurodivergent_insights.
