If you have ADHD and autism, then you're more likely to experience anxiety and depression than just having one of those.

If you're going to a social event and already before you go, you're nervous about small talk.

You're nervous about reading the room or coming across to socially awkward.

Then you're already anxious before you go.

And in that spiral, if the shame kicks off, the RSD kicks in, that stuff can

really be upsetting and actually very dangerous as well. Dr. Mark Rackley is an ADHD specialist

psychologist with two decades of experience helping people with their mental health. Due to popular

demand, he's back for a third time. This time to deep dive into the psychology of ADHD. The mix between

autism and ADHD for the person who has both of those going on, they're being pulled in

multiple different directions, but then trying to maintain stability. If they hear something

and they want to deep dive into that, then it's like, well, I can't do that. So they're holding back.

They're not being their authentic selves.

That comes at a very high price in terms of the anxiety that that causes.

How hard is it if you have that internal tug of war to find your true self?

It's very tough because in order to find your true self, you have to be.
