Today I am chatting about what it is like to have both Autism & ADHD..It is an interesting combination, to say the least!
The Instagram Account I mentioned:   / neurodivergent_insights  
The post I referred to:   / chsb7fergbv  

Autism in women is often misdiagnosed and/or missed. Because of this many women find out later in life that they are on the Autism spectrum.
This is what happened to me. In my videos, I want to raise awareness about what it is like to live on the spectrum and give you more insight into the life of you or your loved one!
