Unlocking AuDHD: The Overlap of ADHD & Autism for Entrepreneurs

André, The Impulsive Thinker®, sits down with neuro-affirming psychotherapist Rachel Feldman to dig into the reality of living and thriving with AuDHD—where autism and ADHD overlap. This episode is all about ditching black-and-white thinking and understanding how ADHD and autism show up uniquely and together in Entrepreneurs. We talk fidgeting, stimming, masking, and why it matters to tailor strategies to your actual brain, not just a label. If you want to boost your self-awareness, communicate better, and stop measuring your worth by your production, this conversation is for you. Listen in for practical takeaways to support your growth mindset.
