Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___If you connect with some of the ADHD traits but have never really felt like the label fits you perfectly, you might relate to my guest this episode, Andi Wilkinson, who has both ADHD and autism and describes the combination as "having internal opposite personalities that are constantly fighting with each other."Andi, who is a creative and digital marketer, didn't get her ADHD and autism diagnoses until 45, but once she did she realized just how much it explained about her life–why she's so good at creating a mess but can't stand messiness, why she loves to visit new cities but gets overwhelmed by travel, and why she's able to spend hours and hours on organizational tasks that other people find incredibly boring.During our conversation, Andi shares what it's like to manage the often-opposing interests of ADHD and autism, the overlaps and differences between the two, her experiences with early trauma and a strict religious upbringing, the intersection of ADHD, ASD, and tech, and so much more.______________Resources:www.linkedin.com/in/andonetteInstagram: @andonetteSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
