In this episode of Authentically ADHD with Carmen, we explore what it means to build an AuDHD-friendly life instead of constantly trying to “fix” yourself. We look at how executive-function differences, sensory needs, masking, and the demands of daily life can make routines, relationships, and workspaces feel harder than they seem for other people—and why that isn’t a character flaw.
Carmen shares practical ways to reduce friction: make routines easier to start, communicate needs clearly, adjust your environment, and set expectations that reflect your real energy and capacity. The episode ends with a simple seven-day experiment to help you test one small change in your own life.
You don’t need to become an imaginary person who loves fluorescent lights and remembers everything. You can start by building more support around the person you already are.
