Ep6. AuDHD, the Tug of War, and Masking with Jess

Overview: In this engaging conversation, Jess, a registered psychologist, shares her journey of discovering her autism and ADHD. She discusses her early career experiences, the importance of lived experience in psychology, and the challenges of masking in social situations. Jess emphasises the push-pull dynamic between autism and ADHD, exploring how it affects her daily life and interactions. The conversation highlights the significance of self-advocacy, understanding one's own needs, and the importance of going with the tussle in your own brain.

Takeaways:

  • Understanding one's neurodivergent identity can lead to greater self-acceptance.
  • Masking is a common coping mechanism for AuDHDers.
  • The push-pull dynamic between autism and ADHD can be exhausting.
  • Self-advocacy is crucial in navigating social situations.
  • Community support enhances well-being for neurodivergent individuals.
  • Recognising bodily cues can help manage overwhelm.
  • It's important to lean into one's thoughts and feelings.
  • Working with the tug of war rather than fighting it leads to better outcomes.
