WELCOME TO AUDHD UNZIPPED

I'm Dave Bedford, the
Founder of AuDHD Unzipped

I received my late Autism diagnosis at the age of 40, as a direct result of my son's own diagnosis. This led me to reframe many aspects of my life, because I had believed that all the struggles I had encountered were down to me being Hard of Hearing from birth.

​

Ten years later, after my eldest received a diagnosis of Autism and ADHD, I realised I too was AuDHD, and was formally diagnosed with ADHD. Upon reflection, I had always felt I was a walking conflict of interest. It was suddenly clear that I had spent many years masking, overworking, and self-medicating just in order to fit in.

​​​

I'd either felt too much, or not enough. Stuck either in survival mode, or heading for burn out.

​​

Two drivers of the same vehicle. A paradox that would frequently cause paralysis in many aspects of my life.

Understanding Neurodivergent Individuals Talk

I found it really insightful to hear about the importance of clear communication, and how valuable it is to give an individual time and space when they're struggling with communicating or having a meltdown.
