Welcome to That AuDHD Teacher, a podcast about making sense of life through the lens of a late AuDHD diagnosis. I'm Emily, an early childhood teacher and someone who spent years wondering why life always seemed a little harder than it looked for everyone else. After being diagnosed with Autism and ADHD as an adult, so many pieces of my life started to make sense. Each episode is an honest conversation about neurodivergence, mental wellbeing, teaching, and the everyday experiences that often go unseen. So lets get comfortable and make sense of this beautifully complicated brain together.

Is ADHD Really a Superpower? Paris Hilton, Disability and Privilege

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

vendredi 23 octobre 2026 • Durée 29:14

Paris Hilton has spoken openly about ADHD as her “superpower”, but why does that language feel empowering to some people and uncomfortable, even hurtful, to others?

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I’m unpacking the conversation around ADHD, disability, strengths and the pressure to find the positive in our neurodivergence. Inspired by Paris Hilton’s ADHD advocacy and her recent conversations about creating environments that help her thrive, I’m exploring why we need to be able to talk about both the strengths and the very real challenges of ADHD.

I also unpack a perspective shared by neurodivergent advocate Sonny Jane Wise: ADHD can be a disability that comes with strengths, depending on our access to resources, accommodations, support, privilege, and the environments we live and work in. What does that actually mean, and why does it matter?

Because having ADHD can come with creativity, passion, hyperfocus and innovative thinking. It can also mean executive dysfunction, overwhelm, exhaustion, barriers at school and work, and needing support to do things other people seem to manage more easily. Those experiences aren’t mutually exclusive.

This isn’t about dismissing Paris Hilton’s lived experience or telling anyone they’re wrong for seeing their ADHD as a superpower. It’s about asking a bigger question: what happens when we turn one person’s empowering experience into an expectation for everyone?

ADHD doesn’t have to be a superpower to be valid. And acknowledging disability doesn’t mean denying our strengths. Let’s make room for the whole experience.

Follow That AuDHD Teacher for honest conversations about ADHD, autism, neurodivergence, education and what it means to thrive in a world that isn’t always built for our brains.

Content note: This episode discusses ADHD, disability, ableism, privilege and barriers to support.

Late Diagnosed ADHD, Dyscalculia and Self Acceptance with Marvie Corbett

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

mercredi 21 octobre 2026 • Durée 49:46

What happens when you spend your whole life thinking you're not smart enough, only to discover that your brain works differently?

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I'm joined by Marvie Corbett, a licensed clinical social worker, therapist and author, for an honest conversation about late diagnosed ADHD, dyscalculia, executive functioning and learning to understand ourselves with more compassion.

Marvie shares how experiencing postpartum anxiety and depression eventually led to her ADHD diagnosis, and how discovering she also had dyscalculia helped her make sense of years of academic struggles. We talk about the impact of believing you're lazy or unintelligent, the relief of finally understanding why certain things are harder, and how diagnosis can change the way we see our younger selves.

We also explore why ADHD can be missed in girls and women, how neurodivergent traits can be mistaken for character flaws, and why struggling with organisation, motivation or task initiation doesn't necessarily mean someone doesn't care.

Marvie shares her approach to supporting neurodivergent children and families, including understanding individual executive functioning strengths and support needs rather than relying on one-size-fits-all strategies. We also discuss parenting neurodivergent children when you are neurodivergent yourself, finding practical ADHD strategies, medication, creativity, and the importance of recognising both the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent brains.

This conversation is a reminder that understanding how your brain works can help you replace shame with self-understanding.

If you've ever wondered why things seem to come more easily to everyone else, or why trying harder hasn't always been enough, this episode is for you.

Living with ADHD: Late Diagnosis, Learning Differences, Sleep and Finding What Works | Paul McKee

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mercredi 14 octobre 2026 • Durée 34:49

What happens when you spend years believing you're not good at learning, only to discover that your brain works differently?

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I'm joined by Paul McKee, a former teacher and online education entrepreneur who shares his experience of living with ADHD, navigating learning differences, and discovering how to work with his brain rather than against it.

Paul was labelled as struggling academically during childhood, despite being highly capable when learning was approached in a way that suited him. After years of figuring things out for himself, he received an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood and began to understand his experiences in a completely different light.

We talk about what it was like growing up misunderstood at school, how Paul discovered his own learning patterns, and why finding the right strategies can make such a difference. We also explore ADHD and sleep, the challenges of managing energy and focus, recognising similar traits in your children, and how understanding your neurodivergence can influence the way you approach work and entrepreneurship.

Paul also shares his journey from teaching and engineering into online education, including why he decided to make educational resources more accessible through his website, Free Worksheets.

Explore Paul's free educational resources: https://freeworksheets.com/

Free Worksheets provides worksheets for teachers, parents and homeschoolers, with resources created by teachers. Paul's goal is to help make educational resources accessible without the expensive paywalls that can make them difficult to access.

Late Diagnosed AuDHD: Masking, Burnout and Finding Yourself with Dr Amanda Wilson

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

vendredi 9 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:04:27

What happens when you discover you're autistic and have ADHD after spending decades trying to fit in?

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I'm joined by Dr Amanda Wilson, an AuDHD orthodontist from Hawaii who received her autism and ADHD diagnosis at 51. We talk about late diagnosis, masking, autistic burnout and the complicated process of understanding yourself through a new lens.

Amanda shares what it was like growing up as a girl who was desperate to fit in, learning to hide the parts of herself that felt different, and looking back at childhood experiences that make much more sense now. We discuss the grief that can follow a late diagnosis, the friendships and relationships that change when you start unmasking, and the relief of finding people who understand you.

We also get into the realities of neurodivergent burnout, including losing the ability to speak, navigating workplaces that don't always understand you, and finding ways to work and communicate that better suit your brain. Amanda reflects on her experiences as an orthodontist, the challenges of being neurodivergent in a demanding career, and how creating content has given her a new outlet for purpose and joy.

This is an honest conversation about what it means to be a late diagnosed AuDHD woman, why masking can be so exhausting, and what can happen when you finally start giving yourself permission to be who you are.

If you've ever wondered why you've spent your life feeling different, pushed yourself to the point of burnout, or started re-examining your past after an ADHD or autism diagnosis, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Late diagnosed autism and ADHD (AuDHD)
• Childhood signs of autism and ADHD in girls• Masking, people pleasing and the pressure to fit in• Grief, identity and relationships after diagnosis• Unmasking and why everyday things can become harder• Autistic burnout and losing the ability to speak• Neurodivergence, workplace challenges and career burnout• Boundaries, self acceptance and finding your people• Using creativity and technology to support neurodivergent communication

But You Don’t Look Autistic | AuDHD, Autism, Masking and Invisible Autism

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mercredi 30 septembre 2026 • Durée 18:00

“But you don’t look autistic". If you’re an autistic or AuDHD adult, you may have heard this before. You may even have thought it about yourself.

In the first episode of Season 2 of That AuDHD Teacher, I’m talking about what autism can look like when it isn’t immediately visible to other people, and why being able to work, study, socialise, travel, communicate or appear “fine” doesn’t mean that being autistic is easy.

We’re talking about autism masking, late autism diagnosis, invisible autism, autistic adults and the assumptions we make about what an autistic person is supposed to look like.

I also reflect on my own experience of being diagnosed AuDHD later in life, and the strange experience of finally understanding yourself while still having other people question what they think they know about you.

Because there isn’t one way to look autistic. And there isn’t one way to be AuDHD.

Season 2 of That AuDHD Teacher is going beyond diagnosis and into what it actually means to live with an autistic and ADHD brain, including masking, PDA, meltdowns and shutdowns, alexithymia, late diagnosis grief, workplace accommodations, being an AuDHD teacher and much more.

If you’ve ever been told “you don’t seem autistic”, or wondered whether you could really be autistic because you don’t fit the stereotype, this episode is for you.

AuDHD, ADHD and Attachment: Why We Get So Attached to People

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

lundi 28 septembre 2026 • Durée 40:38

Why do some people become so deeply attached to certain people? In this bonus episode, Emily is joined by her best friend Emma to talk about AuDHD, ADHD, attachment, hyperfocus, emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity and the experience of having someone become a major focus of your thoughts.

We talk honestly about lifelong patterns of attachment, childhood experiences, teachers and mentors, relationships, reassurance, uncertainty, rumination, dopamine, people pleasing and what happens when an attachment becomes all consuming. We also explore whether people can become a hyperfocus or special interest, and why being deeply attached isn't necessarily something to be ashamed of.

If you've ever thought, "Why do I care about this person so much?" or recognised yourself in the experience of thinking about someone constantly, this conversation might make you feel a little less alone.

Bonus Episode 12: Inside My Autism Assessment | What Was My Autism Assessment Actually Like?

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:55

What actually happens during an adult autism assessment?

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I take you through my own autism assessment experience, including the screening questionnaires I completed, what I was asked, and what the assessment process was like for me.

I'll talk about the different questionnaires that were used as part of my assessment, including the RAADS-R, Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q), and Monotropism Questionnaire (MQ).

I've also included links to the questionnaires I talk about in the episode below.

RAADS-R: https://novopsych.com/assessments/diagnosis/ritvo-autism-asperger-diagnostic-scale-revised-raads-r/

Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ): https://psychology-tools.com/test/autism-spectrum-quotient

CAT-Q: https://embrace-autism.com/cat-q/

Monotropism Questionnaire (MQ): https://osf.io/wpx5g/files/4wru2

Please remember that these are screening and self-report tools, not diagnostic tests. Completing a questionnaire or receiving a particular score does not mean that you are autistic. They are simply one possible source of information within a broader assessment process.

Bonus Episode 11: Inside my ADHD Assessment | What Was My ADHD Assessment Actually Like?

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

jeudi 3 septembre 2026 • Durée 29:42

What actually happens during an adult ADHD assessment?

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I take you through my own ADHD assessment experience, including some of the screening questionnaires I completed and some of the questions I was asked along the way.

I'll talk about what the assessment process was like for me, what I found difficult, what surprised me, and what it felt like to finally have someone look at the things I'd struggled with throughout my life through the lens of ADHD.

I'll also talk about the importance of finding a clinician who understands that ADHD doesn't always look the same in everyone, particularly when it comes to adults and women who may have developed strategies to compensate or mask their difficulties.

I've included links to the two screening questionnaires I discuss in this episode below:

Wender Utah Rating Scale: https://novopsych.com/assessments/diagnosis/wender-utah-rating-scale-25-item-version-wurs-25/

Diagnostic Interview for ADHD In Adults (DIVA): https://www.advancedassessments.co.uk/resources/ADHD-Screening-Test-Adult.pdf

Please remember that these are screening questionnaires, not diagnostic tests. A score on a questionnaire cannot tell you whether you have ADHD. They can be a useful starting point for reflection and deciding whether you want to explore things further with a qualified professional.

I've also created a resource with questions you might want to consider asking an ADHD clinician before choosing someone to assess you.

Episode 10: What If You Think You Have Autism or ADHD? Where Do You Start?

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 27 août 2026 • Durée 29:35

Have you started wondering whether you might be autistic or have ADHD?

Maybe you've been watching videos, reading posts, listening to podcasts or taking online screening questionnaires and suddenly finding yourself thinking, "Wait... this sounds a lot like me." But what do you actually do next?

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I talk about some of the things you can do when you're beginning to explore whether autism or ADHD could be part of your story.

I'll talk about online screening questionnaires, books and other resources that helped me, things you might want to start noticing about yourself, and what you can do if you're considering a formal assessment.

I'll also talk about looking back at your childhood, because autism and ADHD don't suddenly appear in adulthood. Sometimes the people who knew you when you were younger can remember things that you don't.

I've included a list of questions you might want to ask family members or friends about what you were like as a child, including questions about friendships, routines, behaviour, interests and things they remember about you growing up. I've also included the screening questionnaires and books I mention in the episode below.

Books:

- Women and Girls on the Autism Spectrum (Sarah Hendrickx)

- We're All Neurodiverse (Sonny Jane Wise)

- Unmasking Autism (Devon Price)

- Different, Not Less (Chloé Hayden)

- Welcome to AuDHD (Megan Griffith)

Episode 9: Why Change Can Feel So Hard When You're AuDHD

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

jeudi 20 août 2026 • Durée 23:13

Change is something everyone experiences, but for autistic and AuDHD people, even seemingly small changes can sometimes feel much bigger than other people realise.

In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I explore why change can be so difficult, from changes to routines and plans to unexpected interruptions, transitions and things simply not happening the way you expected them to.

I'll talk about the relationship between autism, predictability, uncertainty and emotional regulation, as well as how ADHD can add another layer through difficulties with transitions, executive functioning and shifting attention.

I'll also share some of my own experiences with change and the things I've started to understand differently since learning more about being AuDHD.

Because sometimes it's not that you don't want to adapt. Sometimes your brain needs time to process the change.And when that change happens suddenly, the reaction can be much bigger than the situation might appear from the outside.

This is another episode about understanding the why behind our experiences rather than simply judging the reaction.

Welcome to That AuDHD Teacher , a podcast about my journey as an autistic and ADHD teacher, and the things I'm continuing to learn about AuDHD, neurodiversity and myself.
