Living with both Autism and ADHD, often called AuDHD, comes with unique challenges as well as unique strengths. Many women struggle to find resources that truly reflect their lived experiences. That is why I, Barbara Fava, wrote Embracing Your AuDHD Journey, A Comprehensive Guide for Women with Autism and ADHD.
As an AuDHD woman myself, I understand what it feels like to be overlooked, misunderstood, or misdiagnosed. This book is rooted in my own journey, combined with practical strategies designed to help other women feel validated, supported, and empowered.
Why I Wrote This Book
For a long time, I searched for resources that spoke directly to women like me, women navigating life with both Autism and ADHD. Most books focused on clinical descriptions or broad advice, but very few reflected the real, everyday experiences of being an AuDHD woman.
I realized that if I could not find the guide I needed, I would create it myself. This book is the result of that decision, offering not only knowledge but also compassion and authenticity.
What You Will Find Inside
Embracing Your AuDHD Journey is more than a book. It is a workbook for self-discovery and growth. Each chapter includes:
- Personal insights and strategies that come directly from my lived experience.
- Guided workbook activities to help you reflect on your strengths and challenges.
- Questions to encourage self-discovery and deepen your understanding of yourself.
- Dedicated space for notes and thoughts so you can turn the book into your own personal journal of growth.
- Practical tools for creating routines, improving focus, managing emotions, and embracing your neurodivergent identity.
This is not just about surviving. It is about thriving and stepping fully into your authentic self.
Representation and Authenticity Matter
Because this book is written by me, an AuDHD woman, it carries the authenticity of lived experience. My goal is for readers to feel like they are sitting with a friend who understands them, not just reading advice from a distant expert.
Available in Kindle and Paperback
I wanted this guide to be accessible in whatever format works best for you.
- Kindle Edition is perfect for on-the-go reading and reflection.
- Paperback Edition is ideal if you want to use the workbook sections, answer the questions directly in the book, and keep your reflections in one place.
