Vlog Day 42 — Prepping to interview Eric about autism

In between editing “habits,” we stopped to interview Eric, an autistic brain. This was just before we began the interview. Eric was amazingly open about his challenges, I’m really looking forward to seeing how this episode cuts together! His girlfriend Georgie helped on the tech side of things and even gave him a few ideas during the interview. They were adorable together.

Very exciting :) will you also be talking about people who have both (ADHD seems to be one of the most frequent conditions co-ocurring with autism) or is that too much for one episode? ;)

That looks like it will be an interesting episode. It would be interesting to see how many different conditions share the same type is symptoms. For years, I got treated for depression, when the cause was ADHD. For example, working in IT, there are so many situations where you only see the symptom of the issue and not the cause. You treat the symptoms only for the problem to keep coming back till you find the root cause. I feel that is the same thing is true with ADHD, depression, anxiety and in this case autism. Doctors treat for the symptoms and not the root cause. Again, looking forward to the episode when it comes out.

I've been wondering about the similarities and differences between ADHD brains and austism-spectrum brains for a long time, I'm excited that you'll be having this conversation!

Really looking forward to this episode! I actually found out about ADHD because I was relating to a lot of autistic friends and they told me to look up autism in adults. When I did about half the stuff resonated but it didn't feel quite right, but then I accidentally stumbled across ADHD and suddenly nearly EVERYTHING fit!
