ADHD, Autism & AuDHD: Trauma, Masking and Late Diagnosis with Ellie AuDHD Capstick
Episode description as stored
What happens when you spend decades believing you’re lazy, too much, unreliable or simply doing life wrong, only to discover your brain has been working differently all along?
Ellie AuDHD Capstick is an AuDHD educator and podcast host whose late diagnosis gave her something she had spent a lifetime searching for: language for experiences she once understood as personal failures.
In this conversation, Ellie gets candid about the collision of ADHD and autism, years of masking and pushing herself into burnout, and why she doesn’t automatically call neurodivergence a “superpower.” She also shares what she wishes she had understood while raising her older neurodivergent children and how diagnosis helped her move from shame toward self-advocacy.
In this episode:
AuDHD and living with both ADHD and autism
Late diagnosis, identity and self-understanding
Neurodivergent masking and autistic/ADHD burnout
Executive dysfunction versus “laziness”
Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD)
Trauma, vulnerability and neurodivergence
Parenting neurodivergent children with confidence
Self-advocacy, relationships and dropping the mask
