The typical traits of someone with AuDHD By Dr Becky Quicke, a clinical psychologist
Enjoying the fun and stimulation of being with others whilst also feeling socially anxious and awkward and being extremely exhausted afterwards.
Having a strong need for predictability whilst also easily becoming bored of routines.
Having lots of ideas but wanting everything to be done to perfection, so you feel stuck and do nothing.
Going “all in” on a hobby, interest or passion, but frequently changing focus.
Desperately wanting to complete tasks but struggling with procrastination, or getting into the zone.
A quick thinking brain that reads the situation extremely quickly so nobody would ever guess the anxiety and confusion underneath.
Craving excitement but getting easily overwhelmed, so struggling with both understimulation and overstimulation.
