0:00.0	23 all-D-HD accommodations that are going to make people's life a lot easier.
0:06.7	And there's three in here that I'm going to flag when we get to them that I personally think has helped me the most.
0:12.5	And I truly believe that it will help the listeners and the viewers the most.
0:15.9	So what do you mean by all-D-D accommodations?
0:19.0	Ord-D-D-D if you've got a dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD, that complex push and pull,
0:27.0	many contradictions, wanting to be clean but struggling to maintain that clean environment
0:31.9	or craving stimulation but also getting overstimulated easily, for example, that internal tug of war. If you live
0:38.9	with that type of neuro type, that type of nervous system, which can be very confusing, then the
0:44.2	accommodations that work well for that are very unique. And I think that's what we're going to go
0:49.0	through today. Great. Okay. So 23. 23. And I think so many people get an ADHD diagnosis at one point in their life, and then they finally realize that actually there's more going on, and they also have autism.
1:04.0	And I think the problem somebody faces in that position is that they then don't know what to ask for, or they don't know how to advocate for themselves,
1:12.6	whether that's in their personal life, in trying to be productive, in their relationships,
1:18.4	or at work. I think it's a very confusing time because they're not only coming to terms
1:23.3	with this new awareness that they're all-Dd rather than just ADHD so they're also trying to
1:29.8	figure out who they are and therefore really struggle to understand what is going to work for them
1:35.9	in terms of benefiting their life and what was that i remember j bache had a really good analogy about
1:40.7	what all dhdhs feels like it was that there's like two siblings dragging each other across the room by their hair. I love that visual. Very good visual. So I guess if that's what is happening in your brain, you don't really always know what to ask for. So this is a list. It's what you can ask for. Yeah. And the first one, and this is going to be quite, I don't think it should be controversial. I think it's
2:03.0	normalizing not having a shower every single day. I personally do have a shower every day. I'm very
2:09.3	busy. I'm up and down to London a lot. I'm very active. But I think for a lot of people,
2:13.6	it's not necessary. And I feel like there's this kind of unspoken rule that you have to
2:17.7	shower every single day. And that's what everyone does. That's what humans do. But I'm speaking to
2:24.1	a lot of people in the community, I think that actually getting, getting undressed, getting in water,
