Chapter 32 My AuDHD Story Part 3: My Twenties

Chapter 32 recapping my unexpected Autism and ADHD year: this week I'm looking back at my twenties and the two opposing stories of those years, both of which were equally true - the happy smiling adventure version, and the struggle that having undiagnosed AuDHD was having on me trying to find my place in the world.

My twenties were broadly a happy(-ish) decade where I didn't have a lot of constraints on me and kind of tried lots of things on for size, a decade my ADHD was maybe in the ascendency more than my autism but my autistic challenges were still there holding me back, simply because I didn't know I had them or how to accommodate them properly.

AQ Autism Self-Test:
I'm going to keep posting the link to the AQ Self Test for autism every episode in case this is the first video in the series people come across. Take the self test (remember it's JUST a self-test) and see how you score. You may have been on the autism spectrum all along and just had no idea, like I was:

Cat-Q Test (Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire): An alternate self-test if you've gone a long time masking.

ADHD Self-Test:
(with all the same caveats as above) ADHD is even MORE common than autism (and many of us will have both); the vast majority of ADHDers just struggle through from childhood through adulthood having no idea that they even HAVE ADHD, let alone working out strategies to cope and deal with it all better to be happier and less frustrated with ourselves and others.
