Summary

It’s the peak of the summer and that means two things: one, it’s time to try on your friend’s sandals and appreciate how we’re all different, and two, it’s time to dive into AuDHD. We’re coming to you live from a hot, hot room to talk about what ADHD and autism look like in combination, why there’s so little research behind it (hint: it’s ableism), and how it feels to have both battling inside you. If you’ve always felt like you simultaneously have a rigid old woman and a small impulsive child living in your brain together and it’s not going well, come join us for what will likely be an eye-opening look into this extra spicy and often contradictory combination of neurodivergences.
