Little Missed Neurodivergence: ADHD + Autism

"Aspergirls: Empowering Females with Asperger Syndrome" was the first book I purchased on the subject of neurodivergence. It had come highly recommended and I am glad to have added it to my reading list! Here are my thoughts on a few of the chapters and some personal anecdotes. x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-for-12-years-...

An update and some thoughts on the cumulative effect of being burned out from ADHD + Autistic burnout, including severe physical symptoms. I am also still trying to figure out how to explain verbal shutdowns and periods of self-isolation to neurotypicals/allistics who want an explanation for my behavior. x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-au...

This feels like the perfect storm for another meltdown - being taken out of my routine while in survival mode, otherwise known as ADHD + Autistic burnout. Will my coping strategies be enough to get me through? If I open up (more) to my coworkers, is that going to change anything? x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-for-12-years-an-essay...

This was a rough one to process, but at least now I have the vocabulary for what I always struggled with because, uh, silver linings... right? (also trying to figure out how to self-support in a similar situation next time) x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-for-12-years-an-essay Email: littlemissedneurodivergence@gmail.com Instagram:...

Gaslighting is a term for when someone makes you doubt your reality or memory - and certainly something I never thought I would experience with a trusted medical professional. Still, it finally got me to someone qualified to diagnose autism in adults (women, in particular!) and this is how it went. x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-fo...

In the longest episode so far, things get real because I have had to work through the shock and joy and what-ifs and relief of what it means to be a woman with ADHD and finally receive the appropriate treatment for it. Better late than never..? x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-for-12-years-an-essay Email: littlemissedneurodivergence@...

Is there anybody else who puts in extra EXTRA effort with their social exchanges and then still end up really missing the mark? Autism and ADHD (AuDHD) may make for some amusing-ish anecdotes but if there is a spare copy of this secret friendship guidebook that everyone else seems to have, please send it my way kthnx! x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-...

Late-diagnosed neurodivergence is such a trip in itself - but what if the mental health professionals already in charge of your care (for over a decade) did not put together all of the signs and symptoms? This is where the journey gets a little bumpy so strap in. x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-for-12-years-an-essay Email: littlemis...
