Sorry for sending you multiple emails - I forgot to include the breakdown of what I talk about in this episode in my last email. The breakdown is now included below. This is a great example of my inattentive ADHD in full swing :) Thanks for understanding! ♡
Hi fellow human,
Here is part 1 of our August podcast which is a Q&A (yes, you submitted so many questions that I am splitting this month’s podcast into a part 1 and a part 2!). Part 2 will follow, so keep your eyes peeled.
In this episode I cover:
How my autistic and ADHD traits interrelate
How my autism diagnosis has affected my relationship with my husband
How I currently relate to gendernorms
The ways I accommodated myself at my wedding without realising it (pre-diagnosis) and the horrors of wedding planning as someone who is AuDHD
Tips for how to decide whether quitting a job is the right call
How I manage my energy when socialising as an autistic person who also craves spontaneity as someone with ADHD
What accommodations I would request if I returned to work in an office and how I would go about it
Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing your questions. As I was reading through them I realised that they are all questions I have asked myself and wondered about other people in the past, which made for an interesting chat!
If you’re new around here, my posts are deeply personal so most of them are behind a paywall. If you want to listen to this full podcast episode (along with gaining access to all my letters and the ability to start threads in our group chat) you can sign up as a paid subscriber. For now this is how I feel comfortable sharing the depths of my soul on the internet, but know that if you remain a free subscriber I still value your presence immensely and will look forward to seeing you in my next letter that makes it out to the masses!
Enjoy, and as ever please share your thoughts with everyone in the comments if you feel called to - your voice is just as important as mine.
Sending you love,
Charlie ♡
P.s. As I mentioned in the podcast, Alfie was squished up in a ball right next to me the entire time I was recording… I think this means he’s sending his love to you too!
