Description

In this episode, we’re excited to be joined by Mike Cochrane (@nzpsychologyclinic), a Clinical Psychologist and fellow AuDHDer who specialises in Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD assessments. We had an insightful and validating chat about life with an AuDHD brain.


Together, we unpack:


  • Commonly missed traits in ADHD and autism
  • How to get a diagnosis
  • Why diagnosis often comes with both relief and grief
  • Strategies for navigating executive dysfunction and overwhelm
  • How CBT and ACT can support AuDHDers - and when they fall short
  • The recent legislation change in NZ allowing GPs to diagnose ADHD
  • The importance of self-understanding, unmasking, and neurodivergent-led therapy
  • and more!


We thoroughly enjoyed this chat and if you'd like more information about Mike Cochrane and his diagnosis process, head to nzpsychologyclinic.co.nz
