The Beautiful Contradiction: Embracing Your Autistic ADHD Brain

What’s it truly like to live with the “beautiful contradiction” of being both autistic and ADHD? It can feel like a constant argument in your head, often leading to late diagnosis, as the strengths of one condition mask the struggles of the other, leaving you feeling like you’re drowning whilst everyone else thinks you’re swimming beautifully. Through honest storytelling, humour, and the hard-won wisdom of lived experience, Lisa Kerr will explore the exhausting years of masking and trying to fit neurotypical expectations, through to the liberating moment of late diagnosis and beyond. She’ll share practical strategies for self-acceptance, giving you a renewed appreciation for your multifaceted brain, and the confidence to show up authentically as your wonderfully contradictory self.
