    Autistic or AuDHD?

    You finally understand why everything has been so hard, but knowing you're Autistic or AuDHD hasn't made the hard parts go away.

    ​

    I help later-identified Autistic and AuDHD adults get from barely surviving to actually living—without forcing yourself into a neurotypical mold.

    Who am I?

    Hi, I'm Heather. I'm Autistic, ADHD, disabled, and building a life I love.
    ​

    I work with people who have figured out, usually as adults, that yo're Autistic or AuDHD, to break through a lifetime of neurotypical expectations, figure out what's you and what's the mask, create sensory-friendly strategies, communicate better with NTs and in ways that feel good to you, and recover from autistic burnout for good.
