How did I get tested for my autistic adult symptoms? In this video, I share my personal experience of getting an autism test as an adult for a formal autism diagnosis. How did I assess if it I was autistic with adhd or could it have been autistic or adhd? From the initial self-assessment to the full evaluation process (test). I dive deep into the steps I took, the challenges I faced, and how it all ties into my professional life in corporate America. I also discuss the importance of formal vs. self-diagnosis, insurance struggles, and the tools I used like Embrace Autism (where some autistic tests can be found for free). If you're navigating a similar journey or want to understand more about autism and ADHD in the workplace, this episode is for you.

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.

For many of us who are autistic or have ADHD, the holiday work party can feel like walking into uncharted territory. With unspoken rules, social expectations, and the added sensory overload, these events can become a source of anxiety rather than joy. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right strategies, you can navigate holiday work functions while prioritizing your comfort and authenticity.
Holiday work parties blur the line between personal and professional. While they’re often framed as fun social gatherings, they are still work events—complete with implicit codes of conduct. For neurodivergent professionals, this duality can make navigating them particularly tricky.
Hi, I’m Brett, the AuDHD Boss, an autistic leader with ADHD and over a decade of leadership experience. I understand how challenging these events can be, which is why I’ve compiled my best tips to help you not just survive but thrive at your next holiday work party.

Autism symptoms often go unnoticed, especially in adults. Join Brett, the AuDHD Boss, as they unpack their late-diagnosis journey and key autism traits that shaped their life and career.A note about language: I’m using the term symptoms in the title of this video for the purposes of search, but what I am describing from my personal experience are my autistic and ADHD (AudHD) traits. As you read the resources you’ll find the use of the word traits rather than symptoms because "symptom" often has a negative connotation. Traits, however, speaks to a more lived experience. This video also only represents a small portion of my traits and just a sample of how it shows up in my life. On this channel, I share insights about navigating ADHD and autism in the workplace, using a strengths-based approach to help neurodivergent professionals thrive.In this video, I dive into my personal experience with autism symptoms as a late-diagnosed adult. Using reflections from my diagnosis journal, I explore key traits like masking, struggles with change, sensory sensitivities, social rules, executive dysfunction, and more. I also share how discovering the unique overlap of ADHD and autism symptoms led to my "aha" moments.With over ten years of leadership experience and training in the corporate workplace, these videos are my views only and don't reflect or represent any of my current or past employers. I am not a medical professional, this video is for educational purposes only.
