Beschrijving

Have you ever been convinced you were psychic, magical, different, or somehow able to sense things other people couldn’t? In this episode, I explore something I’ve noticed in myself and in countless other neurodivergent people: the surprising link between ADHD, autism, AuDHD, intuition, pattern recognition, spirituality, and magical thinking. From believing I had special abilities as a child to noticing how many neurodivergent people are drawn to tarot, astrology, synchronicities, spirituality, and reading people, I unpack why this might be more common than we think. Is it intuition? Hypervigilance? Pattern recognition? Imagination? Trauma? Or something else entirely? Let’s talk about it. #ADHD #Autism #AuDHD #Neurodivergent #Psychic #Intuition #MagicalThinking #PatternRecognition #Spirituality #LateDiagnosis #ADHDWomenandmen

Task Transition Paralysis: Why Does My Brain Need a Loading Screen?

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why? Opened your banking app and immediately forgotten what you needed? Sat in your car at the petrol station knowing you need to get out… but somehow your brain just buffers? In this episode of AuDHD And Then Some, Ellie talks about task transition paralysis — that strange neurodivergent experience where switching between tasks feels harder than the task itself. We’ll explore ADHD, autism, executive dysfunction, mental overload, and why seemingly simple transitions can leave us staring into space wondering what comes next. If you’ve ever felt like your brain needs a loading screen between activities, this episode is for you. 🌈 Topics include: • ADHD and task switching • AuDHD and executive dysfunction • Task transition paralysis • Neurodivergent humour • ADHD overwhelm • Late diagnosis experiences • Everyday neurodivergent struggles 🔗 Explore everything, book a discovery call, join the community, and find all resources: linktr.ee/Ellieaudhd #ADHD #AuDHD #Autism #Neurodivergent #ExecutiveDysfunction #ADHDPodcast #AuDHDPodcast #MentalHealth #LateDiagnosis #Neurodiversity #TaskTransitionParalysis #ADHDAwareness This title should be searchable while still sounding like something your audience would actually click on. 💜

The Real Reason My AuDHD Diagnosis Changed My Life | Late Diagnosis Reflections (Part 2)

Welcome back to Part 2 of this conversation about late diagnosis, ADHD, autism and AuDHD. In this episode, I share how receiving a diagnosis helped me replace years of self-criticism with self-understanding, why diagnosis can impact entire families, and the surprising ways it helped me build confidence and self-compassion. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s “too late” to seek an ADHD, autism or AuDHD diagnosis, this episode is for you. Because sometimes a diagnosis doesn’t change who you are. It helps you understand who you’ve always been. #AuDHD #LateDiagnosis #ADHDWomen #AutisticAdults #Neurodivergent #ADHDSupport #AutismAcceptance #AuDHDPodcast #NeurodiversityPodcast #AdultDiagnosis 💜 Bonus Ellie-style title option if you want something a bit more clickable:

What’s The Point Of A Late Autism & ADHD Diagnosis? | My Journey To AuDHD Validation (Part 1)

In this episode of AuDHD And Then Some, I answer a question that comes up again and again in neurodivergent communities: “What’s the point of getting diagnosed later in life?” For years, I felt too much, not enough, too weird, too sensitive, and like I was somehow failing at being a person. As my children were diagnosed with ADHD and autism, I began to recognise myself in their experiences and started my own late-diagnosis journey. In Part 1, I talk about growing up feeling different, the labels I carried throughout my life, and why seeking an AuDHD diagnosis changed everything. #AuDHD #ADHD #Autism #LateDiagnosis #Neurodivergent #WomenWithADHD #AdultAutism #Neurodiversity #ADHDPodcast #AutismPodcast

The Cat Shat on the Floor | ADHD, Executive Dysfunction & Letting Go of Shame

Why can one small thing—like discovering your cat has shat on the floor—feel like the final straw when you have ADHD or AuDHD? In this episode, I talk about executive dysfunction, ADHD overwhelm, task paralysis, neurodivergent shame, emotional regulation, burnout, and the reality of trying to stay on top of everyday life when your brain doesn’t always cooperate. We explore why seemingly simple tasks can feel impossible, the guilt many neurodivergent people carry around housework and responsibilities, and why it’s time to let go of some of that shame. If you’ve ever stared at a mess, felt completely overwhelmed, and then judged yourself for struggling, this episode is for you. Topics include: * ADHD and executive dysfunction * AuDHD and daily life * Task paralysis * Neurodivergent burnout * ADHD overwhelm * Emotional dysregulation * Shame and self-compassion * Housework and ADHD * Late-diagnosed neurodivergence * Real-life ADHD struggles #ADHD #AuDHD #ExecutiveDysfunction #TaskParalysis #Neurodivergent #ADHDWomen #Autism #LateDiagnosis #Burnout #MentalHealth #ADHDPodcast #NeurodivergentLife 💜
