I was diagnosed with AuDHD about a year ago. I was mostly happy to just have an answer. I knew something was “wrong” since I was around 8 or 9, but after college spent about 20 years trying to figure it out on my own. I’m mostly happy I can stop looking.

I have a theory that the vast majority of the self-help market (books, courses, seminars, YouTube, etc) are all propped up by people with undiagnosed Autism or ADHD (or both), looking for answers and how to function better.

There seem to be people who read one book, do what it says, and are great. Others, like myself, have read countless books on the topic, to the point of realizing they all say the same few things, and it doesn’t help.
