Stop surviving your own brain. Start working with it.
AuDHDaptions is the trauma-informed system-building school for autistic adults with ADHD — built from the inside out, for brains that neurotypical advice has always failed.
"You don't need to fix your brain — you need a system that was actually designed for it."— Julie R. Dozier-McCrary
What you'll learn
What you'll be able to do
- Identify your unique AuDHD nervous system profile and understand how autism and ADHD interact specifically in your body and brain
- Build flexible, low-demand daily routines that survive bad brain days, sensory overload, and executive dysfunction
- Recognise and interrupt trauma responses (masking, freeze, shutdown, fawn) before they tank your day
- Design a personalised sensory and emotional regulation toolkit you can actually reach for in the moment
- Set boundaries and communicate your needs clearly — without guilt, script paralysis, or people-pleasing override
- Move from chronic survival mode into sustainable self-advocacy and genuine, evidence-backed thriving

Who it's for
Is this you?
The late-diagnosed adult
You got your AuDHD diagnosis (or figured it out yourself) as an adult and you're still processing what that means for your whole history — this school helps you make sense of it all.
The chronic masker
You've spent years performing 'fine' for everyone around you and you're running on empty — here you'll learn to unmask safely, at your own pace, without blowing up your life.
The system-graveyard collector
Your notes app is a graveyard of routines that lasted four days — AuDHDaptions teaches you why those systems failed and how to build low-demand anchors that actually survive real life.
The trauma-aware seeker
You know your nervous system is stuck in survival mode and you need support that takes trauma seriously — not as a side note, but as a core part of the AuDHD experience.
The sensory-overwhelmed homebody
Sensory overload shapes your entire day and nobody's practical tools ever account for it — you'll finally build a regulation toolkit and environment design that works for your specific sensory profile.
The people-pleasing boundary-avoider
Saying no feels physically impossible and you always override your own needs — this school walks you through knowing what you need, scripting it, and communicating it without guilt or freeze.

Julie R. Dozier-McCrary
Hey. I'm really glad you're here — and I know that for a lot of us, even finding this page took something.
Maybe you've spent years trying to make neurotypical systems work and quietly concluding the problem was you. Maybe you got a late diagnosis, or figured out you were AuDHD on your own, and suddenly a lot of your life started making a painful, clarifying kind of sense. Maybe you're just exhausted — from masking, from recovering from meltdowns in secret, from explaining yourself to people who don't quite get it, from running on empty and calling it functioning.
I built AuDHDaptions because that content gap is real. So much of what's out there for ADHD ignores autism. So much of what's out there for autism ignores ADHD. And almost all of it ignores trauma — which, for so many of us, is woven right through the whole picture. I wanted to create something that actually starts with our nervous systems, our real capacity, and our real history. Not a productivity system retrofitted for a "quirky" brain. A genuine rethink, from the ground up.
What you'll find here isn't a magic fix or a 10-step plan to become a high-functioning version of yourself. What you'll find is a framework for actually understanding your wiring — the way autism and ADHD interact specifically in your body, the survival patterns that made sense once and now cost you so much, the sensory and emotional regulation strategies that can actually be reached for in the messy middle of a bad day. And then, slowly, the building blocks of something that works: low-demand anchors, honest energy accounting, communication tools that don't require you to abandon yourself to use them.
I'm not going to promise you easy. I am going to promise you real. This school is for AuDHD adults who are done being failed by advice that was never designed for them — and ready to try something built specifically, carefully, and honestly for their brain. If that's you, come on in. You belong here.
