What happens in my autistic ADHD brain while navigating a social situation? In this hilarious video, I'll dive into what exactly is happening in my brain when ADHD and ASD each take over while navigating social situations. While this isn't meant for diagnostic purposes, it's designed to shed light on the internal pulling that can occur when you have both ADHD and autism, offering insight with real-life examples.

From taking charge and organizing social gatherings to hiding in bathrooms and overanalyzing the entire outing, we'll explore why social situations can be both fun and utterly exhausting for an autistic ADHDer to help you gain insight into what could be happening below the surface, inside an autistic ADHD brain. It can be a fun but wild ride!

Whether you're on the autism spectrum and/or have ADHD, suspect you might, work with autistics or ADHDers, or are simply interested in learning more, this video has something for you. I'm here to provide an insider's look at the unique perspectives of someone autistic with the goal of helping people better understand me and other AuDHDers in order to help us all live and work better together in a neurodiverse world.

*NOTE: This video is NOT intended for diagnostic purposes. I'm just sharing my experiences as someone with both ADHD and ASD.
