Did you know that AuDHD is its own unique experience, not just autism plus ADHD co-existing? In this episode Megan Griffith, author of Welcome to AuDHD: How to Survive and Thrive as an Adult with Autism and ADHD, gives us the inside look at AuDHD from her lived experience. Some of the things Megan talks about:

• Why AuDHD is its own unique experience, not just autism plus ADHD stacked on top of each other
• How autism and ADHD can mask each other, leading to late or missed diagnoses
• Practical advice on employment, salary negotiation, and finding work that fuels rather than drains you
• Why autism and ADHD are often misunderstood as behavioral issues instead of neurodevelopmental disabilities
• Misdiagnosis and what to look for in an autism/ADHD assessment
• Learning to make accommodations instead of trying to “fix” yourself
• Why many autistic and ADHD people struggle with self-trust

There’s so much more!

Something a little different this week! Natalie Diggins, former guest and author of the Autistic Adults Toolbox, reached out with a guest suggestion for the show — and that guest was me. So we turned the tables, and Natalie took over the hosting chair.

In this episode, Natalie pulls back the curtain and asks the questions I usually ask everyone else. We talk about how and why I started this podcast as a sitting judge — anonymously, and with a lot of hope — and what it was like to finally have an explanation for a lifetime of feeling different. We also dig into the moment that changed everything for me, how my understanding of autism has shifted over the years, and what I've learned from the incredible guests and listeners who have been part of this journey.

We also get into:

• What it's like to keep your autistic identity private when your whole life requires masking
• Why I don't think we can "learn our way out of" autism — and why that's actually okay
• The episodes and topics that have resonated most with listeners
• Navigating jury duty as an autistic person
• What's coming up next for the show
