Different by Design: Understanding AuDHD – A Reflective Workbook for Self-Discovery

Different by Design is a guided, fillable workbook for individuals who experience both autistic and ADHD traits (AuDHD).

This workbook isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about understanding how your brain works, recognizing your unique patterns, and learning to work with yourself instead of against yourself.

• Clear, accessible explanations of AuDHD and how autistic and ADHD traits interact in everyday life
• Guided self-reflection prompts to understand your patterns, needs, and challenges
• Strength-based perspectives on autistic and ADHD traits
• Practical tools for managing overwhelm, task initiation, and executive dysfunction
• Exercises to identify what supports your focus, energy, and motivation
• Push–pull mapping exercises to understand conflicting needs and internal contradictions
• Baseline awareness check-ins for emotional, mental, and sensory self-understanding
• Fillable pages for journaling, reflection, and personal insights

This workbook will help you:

• Understand why certain things feel difficult—and what actually helps
• Reduce self-criticism and replace it with greater clarity and self-compassion
• Recognize your sensory, emotional, and cognitive needs
• Better navigate overwhelm, inconsistency, and burnout
