Hello and thanks so much for tuning into Season 2 Episode 8 of Autism, ADHD and Us Three! If you enjoy the episode, please consider leaving a review – it really helps more late-diagnosed women and neurodivergent parents find us and feel less alone 💜
🧹✨ In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant George from @simplifybyGeorge, a professional organiser who supports neurodivergent women and families to reclaim calm and control in their homes. Together, we dive deep into the emotional and practical sides of decluttering and simplifying as late-diagnosed AuDHD parents.
We talk about household overwhelm, those infamous “doom piles,” and why so many of us feel shame when we can’t keep on top of domestic life – especially when the narrative we’ve been fed is “you should be able to do this.” George shares accessible, ADHD-friendly tips for building habits, creating systems, and letting go of other people’s expectations.
Whether you’re juggling a chaotic household, navigating burnout, or just need permission to do things your own way – this episode is packed with validation, practical advice, and a whole lot of laughter. Massive thanks to George for such a warm and helpful conversation!
