  • Summary

  • Conversations and music recommendations with a late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD (auDHD) person. One year ago, I discovered I had been living this life unknowingly, heavily, masking daily. Through my Autism discovery, I have found that I am not the only one living a late-diagnosed experience, not by a long shot. We have been and are being failed. Besties, we have to talk about this. Not later, not tomorrow, not next week, now.

    9: Introducing The Millennial Rewatcher
    May 24 2023
    I'm starting a new podcast! 
    I’m a sucker for nostalgia, and anything that has even the smallest trace of nostalgia for me has become hard to consume for most of my adult life thus far. At 32, I discovered that I’d been living life as an undiagnosed Autistic and Inattentive ADD person. A little over a year later, I’ve been able to watch some of the things that I had created nostalgia bond with, a trauma bond of sorts that made it incredibly difficult to watch movies a grew up on and loved. TV shows that take me back to me early twenties, even high school. Its hard for me to explain the panic I used to feel, and still feel at times. I can’t pretend I’m cured of these intense connections that prevented me from rewatching my favorite moments in pop culture. But, as I am slowly able to heal some trauma and enjoy my favorite things again without having a panic attack, I’m experiencing them in a whole new way.

    Join me every other week as I rewatch pop culture, all grown up.

    8: How to Cry
    Apr 14 2023
    In this mental dump, I talk about depression, PMDD, and how incredibly difficult parenting as a late-diagnosed Audhd can be. I'm constantly a wreck, but like I like to say, if we don't talk about it, nothing changes.

    7: Obsessively Opposed to the Typical
    Apr 2 2023
    Still sick, and if anyone is listening, I'm sure you are tired of me yapping about it, but I promise it is relevant to the experience of (some) AuDHD'rs life after a late diagnosis. It's an important conversation that we can't shy away from, even if it feels redundant at times.
