Regardless of if you are an Autistic adult, an ADHDER or a AuDHDer, this workbook is a great resource to help you survive and thrive in life.
The book, “The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD: Cultivate Self-Compassion, Live Authentically, and Be Your Own Advocate” by Jennifer Kemp Mpsych and Monique Mitchelson Mpsych starts out by breaking down the traits of Autism and ADHD in great detail.
In the first 2 chapters, the authors explain in greater detail not only what traits such as stimming is, they also provide a thorough list of examples of each trait.
Chapter 3, from chronic burnout to living well does an excellent job of explaining burnout (which is more common in Autism than ADHD). The chapter gave me the impression that they would share ways we can get out of burnout, but in my opinion this expectation was not met for me.
The workbook also covers topics including overwhelming emotions, suggestions on how to stop beating yourself up and start getting stuff done, how to develop safe and supportive relationships (which is very important for everyone – especially for those of us who are neurodiverse), safely unmasking (yes, although Autistics are known for masking, ADHDers also mask), and how to create a world that works best for you.
This workbook is truly a workbook with plenty of activities for you to do that will help you better understand yourself as either an Autistic adult, ADHDer or as a AuDHDer,
I recommend this resource for everyone who identifies as an Autistic adult, an ADHDer or both.
