E24 | Understanding your AuDHD brain - with an AuDHD Clinical Psychologist

In this episode, we’re excited to be joined by Mike Cochrane (@nzpsychologyclinic), a Clinical Psychologist and fellow AuDHDer who specialises in Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD assessments. We had an insightful and validating chat about life with an AuDHD brain.

Together, we unpack:

• Commonly missed traits in ADHD and autism
• How to get a diagnosis
• Why diagnosis often comes with both relief and grief
• Strategies for navigating executive dysfunction and overwhelm
• How CBT and ACT can support AuDHDers - and when they fall short
• The recent legislation change in NZ allowing GPs to diagnose ADHD
• The importance of self-understanding, unmasking, and neurodivergent-led therapy
• and more!

We thoroughly enjoyed this chat and if you'd like more information about Mike Cochrane and his diagnosis process, head to nzpsychologyclinic.co.nz
