Ep 22 | The AuDHD Intersection: Marie on Education, Menopause, and Self-Kindness
What happens when the "busy" ADHD brain meets the "structured" Autistic mind?
This week, Emma sits down with Marie for a deep dive into the dual diagnosis of ADHD and Autism. Marie shares her journey of navigating the rigid world of higher education and the unique challenges of being neurodivergent while navigating menopause. This isn't just about labels; it's about the radical act of self-kindness. We explore how to build support systems that actually work and why understanding the "hormonal high-wire act" is essential for neurodivergent women’s health.
In this episode, we reframe:
The AuDHD Profile: Navigating the internal tug-of-war between seeking novelty and needing routine.
Higher Ed & Neurodiversity: Strategies for surviving and thriving in academic environments.
The Menopause Factor: How hormonal changes can amplify ADHD and Autistic traits.
Radical Self-Kindness: Moving from "I should be able to do this" to "How can I support myself?"
It’s not a malfunction; it’s a complex operating system. Hit follow and join the project.
