Living with AuDHD is like being a unicorn-misunderstood, contradictory, and often invisible to others. You shine with creativity and innovation, but struggle to fit in - always feeling 'too much'. Autism and ADHD pull you in opposite directions, creating a lifetime of contradictions no one else can see.

AuDHD isn't listed in diagnostic manuals because until 2013, you couldn't be diagnosed with both conditions - despite a co-occurrence rate of approximately 50-70%. These two neurotypes often clash, like opposing magnets in the brain.

ADHD craves novelty; autism resists change.
ADHD misses details; autism hyper-focuses on them.
ADHD perceives time as 'now or not now'; autism sticks rigidly to schedules.
ADHD seeks stimulation; autism is easily overwhelmed.
ADHD thrives in chaos; autism needs structure.
ADHD says yes; autism says no.
Autism makes the rules, ADHD breaks them.
If you're exhausted reading this, just imagine what it's like to live it.

Leanne Maskell was diagnosed with ADHD at 25, but it took 7 more years to learn she was also autistic. AuDHD: Blooming Differently chronicles her turbulent journey-from a childhood of vulnerability and trauma to a high-achieving model and lawyer, outwardly successful but inwardly struggling.

The book exposes the relentless burnout of not understanding your brain and the power of self-awareness in finally thriving. Today, Leanne is a successful author, coach, and National Specialist Coach of the Year.

More than just a memoir, this book offers practical insights for AuDHD individuals and those who support them-essential for psychiatrists, educators, and anyone seeking to understand neurodivergence.

With lived experience and professional expertise, AuDHD: Blooming Differently is an honest and transformative guide to rewriting the neurodivergent narrative.
