What AuDHDers Need - Repost

In June I'm re-posting the most popular episodes from the show while I take a step back to look at the big picture (because my monotropic brain has trouble doing that while also pumping out new content).

Original show notes:

What do AuDHDers need (beyond the obvious needs all humans have)? And why do those needs matter?

This episode covers some important ones:

Being able to engage with our interests (in a particular way)
Executive Function support, without trying to make the hardest things easy or enjoyable
Autonomy
True rest
The narrow path of just enough stimulation
Processing time
To be witnessed in just the right way
Recognition that our needs vary quite a bit day to day
Coming to terms with disability
Space and time throughout our self-discovery journey
Safe enough spaces to explore what it means to be ourself

Links mentioned:

Executive function test post if you want to ask Qs or share your experience
Executive Skills Questionnaire Revised (ESQ-R)
Unmasking Autism book (affiliate link)
Experimenting Your Way to an Extraordinary Life (course)
