What happens when a brain is wired for both structure and spontaneity, for deep focus and constant novelty? When someone lives at the intersection of autism and ADHD – known as AuDHD – the result can be a unique but often misunderstood neurotype. Join us in exploring what it means to be AuDHD, especially for women, whose presentations often go unnoticed for years.
We’ll break down how ADHD and autism overlap, how they can contradict or camouflage each other, and how to begin untangling your own unique profile. Grounded in science, lived experience, and strengths-based psychology, this talk offers both understanding and practical strategies. You’ll explore how to identify and separate your ADHD and autistic needs. Whether you're newly navigating the AuDHD landscape, have long suspected your neurodivergence, or are supporting someone you care about, you’ll leave this talk with greater clarity for living more in sync with your neurotype.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!

Dr Rebecca Jackson is an AuDHD positive psychology coach and research practitioner. She runs a hopeful and energetic coaching practice for ADHD and/ or autistic people seeking to understand who they are, what they want and need, and how they can bring it about with agency, sovereignty, and choice. Rebecca researches the enjoyment, safe enough-ness, and efficacy of positive psychology coaching for AuDHDers, and the role of story, play, game, and imagination in coaching. She is anti-toxic positivity, anti-toxic productivity, and pro self-acceptance and drawing down self-chosen benefits of enjoyment, curiosity, play, and interest, even at difficult times. When she’s not thinking about coaching, Rebecca is out walking, playing Dungeons & Dragons, snorkelling, singing to cheesy pop music, or cuddling her dogs in her hammock.
