In this live Q&A episode, Eric Tivers and ADHD reWired coaches Brian Entler and Kristin Marts answer listener questions about the overlap between ADHD and autism (AuDHD), and how to better understand your brain through both coaching and therapy.

They explore how coaching and therapy serve different—but complementary—roles, especially when it comes to turning insight into action. You'll hear practical examples of how to use each space effectively, whether you're job searching, working through burnout, or trying to follow through on what matters.

Eric also breaks down the concept of monotropism—a lesser-known but powerful way to understand autistic attention—and how it differs from ADHD hyperfocus.

Later in the episode, the conversation turns to late autism diagnosis, self-identification, and the emotional impact of finally understanding yourself through a new lens. Eric shares openly about his own diagnosis and how it's shaped his relationships, self-compassion, and recovery from burnout.

They also tackle questions about:

• Why autism is often diagnosed earlier than ADHD in children
• How to advocate for your child when concerns are dismissed
• Auditory processing challenges and sensory sensitivity
• The growing conversation around self-diagnosis

This is a wide-ranging, honest, and deeply validating conversation about what it means to better understand how your brain works—and what to do with that understanding.

• Coaching helps with execution and follow-through, while therapy focuses on emotional processing
• Monotropism explains long-term, topic-based focus often seen in autistic individuals
• Late autism diagnosis can lead to increased self-compassion and clarity
• Self-diagnosis can be valid when grounded in thoughtful research and reflection
• Sensory and auditory processing challenges are often context- and stress-dependent
• Advocacy is essential when concerns about children are dismissed

What if the reason you haven't finished the thing you keep thinking about isn't motivation, discipline, or follow-through — but fit?

In this episode, Eric is joined by Katherine Mutti Driscoll, PhD, an AuDHD coach, educator, and author, for a conversation that starts with writing a book and quickly becomes something much bigger: how neurodivergent adults actually get meaningful work done.

They explore why so many ADHD and AuDHD adults carry "someday projects" for years, how structure (not willpower) turns intention into action, and why unmasking isn't just about identity — it's about designing systems that work with your nervous system instead of against it.

Writing is the case study.
Adaptation is the point.

• Why motivation isn't the real problem for ADHD and AuDHD adults

• How an interest-based nervous system shapes creativity and follow-through

• The role of structure, deadlines, and external accountability in finishing big projects

• ADHD, autism, and the balance between novelty and predictability

• Unmasking your process and letting go of "normal" ways of working

• Why you don't have to love the process to do meaningful work

• Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and surviving the one-star review

• Dictation, movement, printing drafts, and other non-traditional workflows

• How support, containers, and community make progress possible

You don't need to become more disciplined.
You need a container that fits.

When the system works for your brain, the work has a chance to happen.
