Burnout in Autism and ADHD (Why “Just Try Harder” Was Never the Answer)
AuDHD Hub
@audhdhubAbout
I'm Karen, and I'm AuDHD. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 38 and autism at 40. I created AuDHD Hub for late-diagnosed adults who are just starting to make sense of a lifetime that never quite made sense. If you've recently discovered you're autistic, ADHD, or both, you're in the right place. I post new videos most Sundays, covering topics like late diagnosis, AuDHD identity, masking, burnout, and building a life that actually works for your brain. I also have a Patreon community (patreon.com/AuDHDhub) with toolkits, resources, and ways to connect with others on the same journey. Thank you for being here. Welcome to the Hub. – Karen Note: I'm not affiliated with the TikTok account using the same name. This is the original AuDHD Hub. I'm only active here on YouTube and on Patreon.

Video Description
Autistic and ADHD burnout isn't about not trying hard enough. It's about trying too hard for too long. This video explores the connection between late-identified autism, ADHD, chronic burnout, and the harmful "just try harder" mentality that many of us internalized before diagnosis. ─── 🩵 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐮𝐃𝐇𝐃 𝐇𝐮𝐛 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 🩵 Here, we make sense of AuDHD together.
