16. AuDHD, meltdowns & workplace accommodations (autism + ADHD) with Olivia @neurodiversing
Description
Hiiii best besties!!
On today's show, we have another amazing GUESTIE π the gorgeous Olivia from @neurodiversing on Instagram and TikTok.Β
Olivia joins us all the way from the UK to help answer some dilemmas about AuDHD (co-existing Autism & ADHD presentations) and play an old fave Ireggy Seggy with us.Β
β’ Dilemma #1 - "How do you distinguish your autistic traits from your ADHD traits and what was your diagnosis journey like? An autism assessment is so expensive, is it worth it?"
β’ Dilemma #2 - "I have AuDHD and Iβm struggling so much in my workplace, I havenβt told my boss about my neurodivergence but Iβm wondering if there is anything that I can do to help to make my workplace easier for me?"
β’ Dilemma #3 - "I love my friends, but I feel guilty for missing Friday night drinks or resentful when I force myself to go. By the end of the work week, my social battery is drained, but my friends think I'm avoiding them. Why do I feel weird about enjoying a quiet night in more th out?"
Ireggy Seggy: Pipe dreams - early bedtimes, reading by candlelight & not picking our skin are suuuuuper realistic for us π«
