S02E02:Late-Diagnosed AuDHD Friendships, Adult Meltdowns & Titration Purgatory with Jon & Erin

In this episode, I am completely fangirling as I sit down with two incredible creators from the neurodivergent community: Jon and Erin.Erin is the host of the AuDHD and Me podcast, and Jon is the host of AuDHD or Just a Bit Weird?. Together, they have been candidly documenting their brilliant online-to-offline best-friendship. From creating meticulous itineraries for their first meeting (that naturally went completely out the window) to learning how to fully unmask around each other, they are the ultimate blueprint for authentic neurodivergent connection.In this episode, we dive deep into:Friendship After a Late Diagnosis: How late-discovered autistic and ADHD adults build meaningful connections.The Confusion of Group Dynamics: Unpacking social hierarchies and the confusing "tiers" of friendship.Adult Meltdowns & Sensory Overload: Why public swimming pools can be a sensory nightmare, and how safe friends can coach you through a shutdown.The Titration Purgatory: The frustrating reality of never-ending ADHD medication waitlists and an inaccessible medical system.This chat is funny, deeply vulnerable, and validating.
