n this episode, I explore the meaning of neuroqueering through my own lived experience as a queer, autistic, ADHD adult. Joined by Dr. Megan Anna Neff (Neurodivergent Insights), we dive into:
The definition and origins of the term "neuroqueer"
How masking and identity suppression lead to burnout
The grief of coming out and discovering you're neurodivergent later in life
What it means to heal your inner child
Why unmasking is a slow, emotional, and communal journey
We also discuss how safety, community, and self-permission are key to stepping into your authentic identity—and how queer and neurodivergent joy often go hand-in-hand.
🎧 Tune in to hear how unmasking shaped my path, why I believe identity work must happen in community, and what neuroqueering means to me today.

Why do so many of us feel like we’re always performing — even in our safest spaces?
In this powerful and deeply resonant episode, Brett (The AudHD Boss) is joined once again by Dr. Megan Anna Neff, psychologist and founder of Neurodivergent Insights, to explore the complex emotional and psychological experience of autistic masking.
Together, they discuss:
How masking starts in childhood as a trauma and survival response
The privilege, protection, and cost of masking — especially for BIPOC neurodivergent individuals
The intersection of masking with OCD, burnout, queerness, and late diagnosis
Why unmasking is not just a process — but a layered, relational, and identity-shaping journey
How to hold nuance in the unmasking conversation, including when masking is protective or strategic
The need for self-permission, community, and compassion as we learn how to be our fullest selves
This is one of the most honest, layered, and liberating conversations we’ve had — full of real stories, research, and reflections. Whether you’re navigating your own unmasking process or supporting someone who is, you’ll walk away with validation, insight, and the reminder that this work is not meant to be done alone.

Feeling overwhelmed by the nonstop flood of news and information? As an autistic and ADHD professional, I know firsthand how easy it is to spiral into anxiety, especially in chaotic times. In this episode, I’m sharing strategies from my recent therapy session and my background as a former journalist on how to stay informed without feeding overwhelm.
As someone with ADHD, autism, and OCD, I’ve been feeling the weight of everything happening in the world. Earlier today, I had a therapy session, and I want to verbally process some of what I learned with you before I get back to my usual content on ADHD and autism in the workplace.
I’m also a former journalist, so I know firsthand that no one is supposed to take in the news the way journalists do—raw, unfiltered, and relentless. And that’s on a normal news day. Right now, the sheer volume and intensity of information are designed to make us feel overwhelmed, anxious, and emotionally drained.
So how do we stay informed without burning out? Here are some strategies I’ve learned, both from my experience in journalism and from today’s therapy session.
We'll talk about:
✔️ How to limit news consumption in a healthy way
✔️ Managing OCD and anxiety during uncertain times
✔️ Prioritizing rest and reducing sensory overload
✔️ Finding joy and small ways to take action
✔️ How allies can support marginalized communitiesIf you struggle with information overload, ADHD, autism, or OCD, this episode will give you practical tools to help you navigate the world while protecting your mental health.

How to Balance Context and Conciseness at Work: Tips for Autistic and ADHD Professionals
As neurodivergent professionals—whether autistic, ADHD, or both—we often love diving deep into problems, unraveling their complexities, and solving puzzles at work. But what happens when our need for context clashes with a workplace culture that values conciseness?
Too often, the details we share can come across to managers or neurotypical coworkers as excuses or complaints instead of what they really are: a well-thought-out analysis. This can create misunderstandings and frustrations, especially when communicating with senior leaders or “holistic” thinkers who focus on big-picture solutions.
So, how do you balance your need for detail with the workplace's demand for clear and concise communication? I’m Brett, the AuDHD Boss, and in this post, I’ll share practical, strengths-based strategies to help you communicate effectively in professional settings.
