A therapeutic story for adults with AuDHD
Maya and the double dance is a gentle, psycho-educational therapeutic story created for adults who live at the intersection of autism and ADHD (AuDHD). Through narrative (not lectures), it offers language for your inner experience: so you can feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re moving to two different rhythms at once: craving structure and novelty, needing quiet and stimulation, longing for clarity while your mind runs fast,... this story was written for you.
This story may resonate if you…
- Feel like you’re constantly balancing two different inner “drives”
- Crave predictability and novelty (sometimes in the same hour)
- Are exhausted from masking, over-functioning, or “seeming fine”
- Swing between hyperfocus and shutdown
- Want psycho-education that feels accurate, kind, and human
What you'll discover in this 109-page therapeutic guide:

Yes. The tone is validating and non-pathologizing. The goal is understanding, not fixing.

Reviews
I'm 32 and just got my AuDHD diagnosis last year. This is the first thing I've read that actually captures what it feels like to live with both: the constant push and pull, the overstimulation mixed with understimulation, the masking exhaustion. Maya's story made me feel less alone and more understood than any clinical article ever has.
I was given the opportunity to preview and review chapter 1. This is the first time I've felt something so relatable. This captures what I've been feeling all along but couldn't put into words.
I got to test out the preview of chapter 1. The story read very smoothly and was so relatable 😁
