Hey friend! If you’ve ever felt burned out, overstimulated, or like your brain is doing the most when you need it to do the least—this episode is for you.
Today on Adulting with Autism, I’m joined by Sue Day—ADHD coach, neurodivergent advocate, and founder of Pathways Forward Coaching—who helps women and late-diagnosed adults reconnect with their strengths and redefine success on their terms.
Together, we talk about:
-
🔥 Neurodivergent burnout and why it doesn’t always look like exhaustion
-
🎭 The toll of masking and emotional dysregulation—especially for women
-
🧠 How ADHD and autism can overlap in ways most people don’t see
-
🧩 Why your goals might be failing you (and how to turn them into experiments)
-
❤️ Rediscovering your strengths—even if you feel like you’ve lost yourself
This isn’t a productivity pep talk—it’s a permission slip to slow down, reflect, and rebuild with compassion.
