Ever spent years thinking life was harder for you than everyone else, and wondered what changes when you finally get a name for it?
Ellie AuDHD Capstick (founder of the AuDHD community with 60,000+ members, host of AuDHD and Then Some™) grew up thinking she was lazy, “too much” and weird. Then she hit 40, got the right manual, and started working out who she actually is. This conversation is honest, funny and sweary. You don’t have to be tidy to listen.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why undiagnosed neurodivergence, low self-worth and addiction are so often tangled together
- What executive dysfunction really is (it’s not laziness) and what rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) feels like in a relationship
- What masking is, and what it’s like to unmask at 40 and ask “who’s the real me?”
- Why Ellie says you can’t get sober while surrounded by the same people, places and things
- Why late-diagnosed adults are being failed by schools, prisons, healthcare and support services
- Why there’s no quick fix, and why it’s still worth getting on the bus
