Adult Autism/ADHD Resources
Everything You’d Wanna Know About Adult ADHD and Autism
I hope you find this pre-built rabbit hole for you to jump down helpful. My neurodivergent colleagues, Dr. Jennifer McAdams and Dr. Julia Strait helped me gather all this collection of information. The three of us became hyper-focused on all things neurodivergent and the result is this series of resource pages. We found these things helpful in our journeys and hope it will provide some clarity and insight in yours as well.
I know there is a ton of information on the following pages. Do not feel that you have to read all of it. It is broken down into segments to make navigation easier.
However, if you are feeling overwhelmed and want someone to help you process all this information feel free to contact me for a free consultation to see how I can help.
