from AuDHD and Then Some. · host Ellie AuDHD of AuDHD and then some.

Why can one small thing—like discovering your cat has shat on the floor—feel like the final straw when you have ADHD or AuDHD?In this episode, I talk about executive dysfunction, ADHD overwhelm, task paralysis, neurodivergent shame, emotional regulation, burnout, and the reality of trying to stay on top of everyday life when your brain doesn’t always cooperate. We explore why seemingly simple tasks can feel impossible, the guilt many neurodivergent people carry around housework and responsibilities, and why it’s time to let go of some of that shame.If you’ve ever stared at a mess, felt completely overwhelmed, and then judged yourself for struggling, this episode is for you.Topics include:* ADHD and executive dysfunction* AuDHD and daily life* Task paralysis* Neurodivergent burnout* ADHD overwhelm* Emotional dysregulation* Shame and self-compassion* Housework and ADHD* Late-diagnosed neurodivergence* Real-life ADHD struggles#ADHD #AuDHD #ExecutiveDysfunction #TaskParalysis #Neurodivergent #ADHDWomen #Autism #LateDiagnosis #Burnout #MentalHealth #ADHDPodcast #NeurodivergentLife 💜
