In this episode of AuDHD And Then Some, Ellie talks honestly about the strange experience of feeling “more autistic” after starting ADHD medication.

From sensory overload and masking exhaustion to social burnout, rigid routines, and suddenly hearing every background noise known to mankind… this episode explores what happens when ADHD chaos quiets down and autistic traits become impossible to ignore.

If you’re AuDHD, late diagnosed, or have ever felt confused by how medication changed your brain, this episode will probably feel very familiar.

We discuss:

* ADHD medication & autism unmasking

* sensory overwhelm

* masking and social exhaustion

* late diagnosis & self-understanding

* the difference between ADHD chaos and autistic overwhelm

* why so many AuDHD people relate to this experience

Raw, funny, honest conversations for neurodivergent minds trying to understand themselves a little better. 💜
