That said, this interview with the LEGENDARY Adelaide Saywell, much like the Content Creator themself,is an absolute joy! I am incredibly grateful to Adelaide for giving me their time,sharing their lived experiences & enlightening me on Autism and AuDHD; neither of which I have any lived experience nor much knowledge about. Adelaide uses their enormous platforms on Instagram, YouTube and Tik Tok to support others with similar struggles. Their vulnerability, positivity, tips and reminders are invaluable and inspirational.

Having received a Misdiagnoses of EUPD Previously known as BPD; through their own research she identified ADHD and Autism and was finally diagnosed with ADHD at 28... and after some serious self advocacy for Right To Choose(!) they received their Autism diagnosis.
