I thought treating my ADHD would solve everything. Instead, it uncovered something I'd been missing for years—my autism.

What happens when your ADHD meds work, but you're still struggling? When the diagnosis explains some things, but not everything? This episode is about the complex reality of having both ADHD and autism (AuDHD), how they mask each other, and what changes when you finally understand you have both.
