Ep. 62: AuDHD Pt. 2–A Certain Level of Towel

Distinguishing between ADHD and autism can be pretty confusing, but luckily for you we’re here to muddy the waters even more. In part 2 of our AuDHD series we’re moving away from the DSM’s linear (and limited) diagnostic criteria for autism and looking at the much more dynamic and inclusive wheel of autistic traits. 

We’re also discussing the Monotropism Questionnaire, comparing and contrasting how ADHD and autism present separately and together, and sharing some of our personal AuDHD strengths and anecdotes. 

Whether you experience an overwhelming internal giddiness about the existence of tiny things, you enjoy the fine nuance of tinkering, or you’re easily tricked by an optical illusion, come join us for a chaotic yet informative episode that will make you feel seen in incredibly specific ways.
