This feels like the perfect storm for another meltdown - being taken out of my routine while in survival mode, otherwise known as ADHD + Autistic burnout. Will my coping strategies be enough to get me through? If I open up (more) to my coworkers, is that going to change anything? x Lauren

This was a rough one to process, but at least now I have the vocabulary for what I always struggled with because, uh, silver linings... right? (also trying to figure out how to self-support in a similar situation next time) x Lauren

Gaslighting is a term for when someone makes you doubt your reality or memory - and certainly something I never thought I would experience with a trusted medical professional. Still, it finally got me to someone qualified to diagnose autism in adults (women, in particular!) and this is how it went. x Lauren

In the longest episode so far, things get real because I have had to work through the shock and joy and what-ifs and relief of what it means to be a woman with ADHD and finally receive the appropriate treatment for it. Better late than never..? x Lauren

Is there anybody else who puts in extra EXTRA effort with their social exchanges and then still end up really missing the mark? Autism and ADHD (AuDHD) may make for some amusing-ish anecdotes but if there is a spare copy of this secret friendship guidebook that everyone else seems to have, please send it my way kthnx! x Lauren

Late-diagnosed neurodivergence is such a trip in itself - but what if the mental health professionals already in charge of your care (for over a decade) did not put together all of the signs and symptoms? This is where the journey gets a little bumpy so strap in. x Lauren
