In der heutigen Podcast-Folge spreche ich auf Deutsch über ADHS und Einsamkeit. Natürlich spreche ich mit anderen Menschen über meine Einsamkeit, die viele von uns mit ADHS täglich erleben. Ich hoffe, ich kann euch ein Beispiel dafür geben, dass es trotz meines erfolgreichen Podcasts das Beste ist, einfach über meinen Weg zu sprechen, verletzlich zu sein und Menschen um Hilfe zu bitten. Die Aufnahme ist so originell, dass wir die ursprüngliche Einleitung und das Summen des Signals im Hintergrund...

During a two-hour conversation with a mother whose 20-year-old daughter has inattentive ADHD, she expressed deep concern over her daughter’s lack of ownership in not completing exams. Her frustration is understandable. For those who have known me since my teenage years, you’ll remember that I worked as a journalist across the UK, primarily on the outskirts of London as a crown court reporter. So when I see a significant rise in Google searches—53,000, to be exact—on topics like PDA (Pathological...

Numerology as a Tool for Neurodiverse Navigation 🔢 For those of us with #Autism, #ADHD, or #AuDHD, decision-making can be complex, especially when traditional social frameworks don’t always apply. Without strong human connections, we often develop alternative ways to interpret the world—and numerology can be one of them. 💡 Recurring number patterns, such as 111 or 444, may indicate alignment between our thoughts and actions, while sequences like 5555 can signal a more definitive outcome. Thoug...

Vagus Nerve Breathing Exercises: Who Should and Shouldn’t Use Them • Recommended for Autistic children • Not recommended for ADHD • Not recommended for AuDHD (Autism + ADHD) Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, but I hope this information contributes to future medical insights. From my personal experience, I’ve noticed that my classic ADHD has shifted—my hyperactivity has decreased, and my sympathetic nervous system now perceives threats differently. I believe I’ve transitioned to inattentive ADHD. Whi...

The Rift Between Undiagnosed and Diagnosed ADHD—Why a Diagnosis Can Be Life-Changing AUDHD ME & MO Podcast In this episode, I want to help you make a life-changing decision about getting an ADHD diagnosis. There’s often a huge gap between those who are undiagnosed and those who have clarity through diagnosis. If you’re on the fence, this episode is for you. Think of your thoughts like students rushing into a nightclub, all trying to squeeze through a single narrow door—that’s your brain. Bef...

Autismus, ADHS, AuDHS-Coaching – Ich habe alles gesehen Die Schwierigkeiten beim Erkennen und Verstehen, die Verleugnungsphase, das Wiederaufleben alter Erinnerungen, die plötzliche Klarheit im Kopf. Das quälende „Warum wurde ich nicht früher diagnostiziert?“ Oder noch schlimmer: „Ich durfte wegen meines Alters keine Diagnose bekommen.“ Das leere Nest, in dem plötzlich nichts mehr funktioniert. Die Kraft, die wir aufbringen, um zu erkennen, dass die Angst, alleine nicht überleben zu können, eine...

ADULT Autism, ADHD, AuDHD Coaching—I’ve Seen It All I’ve witnessed every stage of the journey—the struggle to read and process information, the denial phase, the flood of past memories, and the newfound clarity that comes with understanding. The overwhelming question: Why wasn’t I diagnosed earlier? Or worse, I wasn’t allowed to be diagnosed because of my age. The empty-nest phase where nothing seems to go right anymore. The realization that the fear of never being able to survive alone was a li...

#172 "No-one is going to save you" is a debate about if you are not willing to change in your life, this sentence is very true. However, if you are someone that is USED to change, like us with Autism, ADHD and AuDHD, we have never fit it, have a few friends, if any at all. it doesn't bother me two hoots if people say we have "Special Interests" or are "Gifted".
