In this episode of Authentically ADHD, Carmen explores why AuDHD brains can feel like they have 47 tabs open and none of them are loading. We break down the overlap between ADHD executive dysfunction and autistic overload, including sensory processing, decision fatigue, transitions, emotional regulation, and nervous system shutdown.

This episode explains why overload is not laziness or drama — it is often a bandwidth issue. With research-backed neuroscience, real-life examples, dark humor, and practical tools, you’ll learn how to reduce input, shrink tasks, use scripts, create transition handrails, and support your brain when everything feels like too much and nothing is moving.
