Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I share my personal journey of being late-diagnosed with AUDHD (Autism + ADHD) and how it has reshaped the way I see myself and my life. I talk openly about the relief, grief, and empowerment that comes with finally having language for an experience I’ve lived all along.I also reflect on parenting my three children, all of whom are AUDHD and have PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profiles. From the daily challenges to the moments of deep connection, I explore what it means to parent neurodivergent children while also unmasking and learning about my own neurodivergence.This conversation is about understanding, compassion, and real-life experience — the messy and beautiful reality of living and parenting in a neurodivergent family. My hope is that by sharing my story, other late-diagnosed women and parents walking a similar path will feel seen, validated, and less alone.
