AuDHD
— AuDHD Therapy in Oro Valley and Tucson, Arizona —
Autism + ADHD together can feel like having opposing needs that push and pull you in different directions. It can be confusing and overwhelming — especially if you’ve spent years wondering why things feel harder for you than they seem to for everyone else.
Common Signs
Wanting structure but having a hard time maintaining it.
Needing predictability, routine, and sameness, while struggling to stay organized and follow through with tasks.
Mirroring or copying other’s tone of voice, mannerisms, or interests to blend in.
Getting intensely focused on something meaningful, while losing track of time, meals, or responsibilities.
Feeling caught between a need for control and a brain that resists.
Craving stimulation and novelty, while also becoming overwhelmed by noise, demands, or sensory input.
Craving connection and interaction one day, then needing to retreat and recover the next.
Constantly masking, compensating, or trying to manage traits that others may not fully understand
Specific rigid, life long special interests paired with short-lived smaller interests that drop off and shift to something else quickly.
How We Can Help
-
We help you identify what leads to overwhelm, burnout, shutdown, impulsivity, or emotional flooding, and develop supports that work for your nervous system rather than against it.
-
Instead of forcing rigid strategies or routines that work for most folks, we work together to build personalized structure, organization, and daily habits in ways that honor executive functioning and the need for predictability.
-
Therapy can help you make sense of the push-pull of being AuDHD, understand your patterns with more compassion, and unlearn the belief that you are lazy, too much, or doing life “wrong.”
-
We help clients better communicate their needs, navigate masking and burnout, set boundaries, and create a life with more room for sensory regulation, authenticity, and connection.
