The Thing About Relationships…

Many know that people with autism and ADHD can struggle with communication.

The lesser-known reality is how they understand the relationships themselves.

How close are we, really?
What level of trust is appropriate?
What does this connection actually mean?

For many of us with AuDHD, relationships can feel undefined and hard to measure. We often show up with intensity and passion in the moment without realizing it might come across as “too much” to others.

From the inside, it doesn’t feel excessive. It just feels honest. It is less about the actual relationship but the event or moment we are in.

Learning that this is part of how my brain works helped explain 47 years of confusion and why I’ve misunderstood relationships, and how I’ve sometimes been misunderstood in return.
