Attachment is the subtle dance between closeness and distance, comfort and independence. Formed by our earliest experiences of love and care, it shapes how we move through all our relationships: romantic, family, and friendships alike.

Why are changes so challenging? Changes, big or small, can feel exciting or even overwhelming for many children. This isn’t just true for kids with ASD, but also for highly sensitive children, those who need predictability, or kids who simply find transitions a bit more difficult. Think of a new classroom, moving house, a different teacher, or even a change in the daily routine at home.

When we think of what keeps us alive, most of us think of food, water, or shelter. But what if I told you that emotional connection is just as vital? Decades of research show that, without safe and loving bonds, even the basics aren’t enough for us to truly thrive. This is true for children and just as true for couples.

Every morning, it’s the same story: you get up, try to follow your routine, and suddenly,... panic: where are your keys?! For many people with ADHD, mornings feel like an obstacle course. You know you need to be somewhere, but your mind feels like a cabinet with too many drawers left open.

Sam the snail and his safe house: a metaphor for sensitive children and kids who need predictability

“I’m actually afraid to say this, but…” How often do I hear these words in supervision sessions? Shame might be the most underestimated obstacle in professional development.

As a therapist, counselor, or caregiver, you face complex challenges every day. You work with people in vulnerable situations, navigate intricate emotional processes, and strive to choose the right interventions. But who supports you in staying sharp, growing, and taking your work to the next level? That’s where supervision comes in.

Do you know that feeling when your emotions hit you like a tsunami, or when you feel nothing at all, even though you know you “should” feel something? If you live with both ASD and ADHD (AuDHD), emotional intensity is often not the exception but the norm. But… why is that?

You start a project enthusiastically. Your ADHD side is focused, interested, full of energy. Halfway through, it gets boring. Your ADHD side wants to move on to something new. But your ASD side sees that it's not perfect yet. You keep improving, refining, perfecting. The project never gets finished...

Social situations with ASD + ADHD (AuDHD): too much and too little at the same time. You're at a birthday party. Too many people, too much noise, too many stimuli, your ASD side wants to leave. But the conversation is interesting, something's happening, there's stimulation, your ADHD side wants to stay. Your body doesn't know whether to flee or stay. Welcome to the social paradox of ASD + ADHD (AuDHD).

The energy paradox: why you're exhausted after fun things (AuDHD)

"It's just a computer error," you tell yourself. "Why do I feel like the world is ending?" When you have ASD and ADHD, "small" things are rarely small.

"Why am I like this?" It's a question many people with ASD and ADHD ask themselves daily. One day you need structure to function. The next day, that same structure feels like a cage. You want to do things perfectly, but you can't focus long enough. You're too much and too little at the same time.
