S3 E7 - The AuDHD push/pull - when ADHD wants to go and autism says no

In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I talk about what it feels like to have both adult ADHD and autism — that AuDHD “push–pull” where one part of you wants novelty and motion, and another part of you wants structure, clarity, and quiet.  I share the contradictions it creates in real life — from paperwork and routines, to small talk and social energy — and why, looking back, it makes a lot of sense that I ended up in a career built around structure and rapport.  In this episode: What “ADHD wants go, autism wants no” actually feels like in day-to-day life. Why I can crave novelty, yet get anxious when things are vague or unclear. The social contradiction: coming across confident, but finding small talk genuinely stressful. How AuDHD shows up at work, including why structure can feel like relief. What this push–pull looked like for me in dating, and why ambiguity was both thrilling and terrifying.
