The Combo Platter

The Combo Platter is a coaching membership program made for adult autistic ADHDers, by an auDHDer.

In this program, you will:

• Connect with other auDHDers who understand what it’s like as someone with the ADHD/autistic combo meal

• Feel seen and heard as your true self without having to hide or mask

• Learn tips and strategies for accommodating yourself and building a more auDHD-friendly life

• Stop people pleasing and gain the confidence to say no and ask for what you need

• Overcome shame and self-doubt by deprogramming from internalized neuroconforming norms

• Step into the new, unapologetic, audaciously auDHD version of yourself you know is in there somewhere

In recent years, an enormous amount of people (myself included) have learned that we spent decades of our lives as undiagnosed or under-supported autistic ADHDers.

Some call this recent influx of auDHDers a “trend,” but I see it as an inevitable result of the late-stage capitalism that burned us all out plus a global pandemic that slowed us down for just long enough to finally be able to tell our stories and connect in ways that we couldn’t do under hustle culture.

In my two years of knowing I’m an auDHDer, I have seen a gross lack of resources and community for those of us with the ADHD/autistic combo meal, and I’ve made it my personal mission to change that.

Why I Created The Combo Platter:

Being an auDHDer is one of the most unique and contradictory neurotypes out there.

The ADHD half of us craves novelty and chaos, while the autistic half wants structure and predictability.

ADHD is really social and wants do to all the things, but autism needs 4-5 business weeks to recover afterwards.

Autism wants to create carefully curated and fool-proof systems and routines, but ADHD either gets bored and wants to change it or else forgets a crucial step every time.

Have you ever dysregulated yourself due to your own impulsivity? Yeah, me too.

It’s like being Goldilocks on steroids.

So what do we do about it? Enter: The Combo Platter

The Combo Platter is a community designed specifically for auDHDers, by an auDHDer.

During my time as an auDHD coach helping clients understand and navigate their combo meals, two things stood out to me:

1. Every single autistic ADHDer has a totally unique set of strengths, needs, desires, values, experiences, and perspectives that is unlike any other human I’ve ever encountered

and

2. We’ve all experienced nearly identical themes, patterns, cycles, and traumas throughout our lives that only another auDHDer can truly understand

I set out to create a program that would honor our unique experiences and individual needs while also providing a sense of community, visibility, and belonging that so many of us have lacked throughout our lives, and the Combo Platter does exactly that.

Who It’s For

This program is for adult (21+) auDHDers who:

• Have been on a trauma healing journey for a while and still feel like they’re “stuck” and can’t seem to move forward

• Are looking for ways to meet themselves where they’re at and accommodate their newly discovered auDHD brains

• Are sick of trying to live up to neurotypical, capitalistic, white supremacist standards and want to start living for themselves instead of following the status quo

• See the value in sharing our lived experiences with one another and learning in a supportive community

• Want to learn what it means to have some damn fun while healing from trauma

• Are ready to embrace their imperfections and lean into discomfort as a necessary part of growth and healing

• Want to put themselves back in the proverbial driver’s seat of their lives and regain the sense of control they feel like they lost a long time ago

The Combo Platter Community is for the auDHDer who writes music and wants to share it with the world but constantly gets stopped in his tracks by shame and fear of rejection.

It’s for the mom who didn’t know she was neurodivergent until her kids got their diagnosis and wants to learn how to be more comfortable in herself so she can give them what they need.

It’s for the working professional who wants to connect with others and grow in their field but never takes advantage of networking opportunities because “who would want to talk to me, anyway?”

It’s for the artist with an itch in her hands to create, but who always hesitates before making her art because the voice in her head tells her it’s a waste of time.

It’s for the millenial who wants to be in a committed relationship but cringes at the idea of having to meet new people and actually go on dates with them.

What You’ll Get

Here are some of the results you can expect as a community member:

• Feeling seen and heard as you actually are without having to mask or pretend

• Confidence to advocate for yourself and ask for the support you need, whether it’s a helping hand or a promotion at work

• Knowing when to remove toxic or otherwise harmful people from your life so you can save your energy for those who see, respect, and love you for who you are

• Cultivating more meaningful friendships and relationships, and deepening the connections in your current ones

• Reassuring that your career goals fulfill your passions and align with your values

• Making mistakes without beating yourself up and instead enjoying life as the big long learning process it actually is

• Finding a balance between your chaotic, multi-passionate, rambunctious ADHD side and your logical, analytical, structure-oriented autistic side

Program Features

Here’s everything you’ll get when you become a member:

1. Live Coaching Calls

Members of the Combo Platter will get access to bi-weekly group coaching calls.

During our calls, you will have the opportunity to learn from others’ experiences, gain new perspectives you may not have thought about, and uplift and empower each other while getting needed support from the community in turn.

These calls will be recorded and posted in the Mighty Networks platform, which members will have lifetime access to. This way, even if you can’t make it to every call (and let’s face it, knowing us, that would be pretty impressive!) you’ll be able to catch up when you have time.

2. Supportive Community

Connect with other members in between calls in our Mighty Networks community! Use the space to check in with each other, celebrate your wins, share infodumps, air your grievances, and build the supportive community that so many of us lack.

Here, we practice taking up space by being imperfectly brave. We trust that others have good intention always, and name impact when necessary to keep one another accountable.

3. Free Access To Workshops

All current members of the Combo Platter will be invited to workshops from me at no extra cost!

Frequently Asked Questions

$50/month

• You’re able to access basic needs such as food, housing, and child care, although sometimes it may feel difficult

• You have access to stable income but the middle price would be enough to cause financial strain

By choosing this price, you are letting your community support you and investing in yourself without sacrificing your needs.

Equity Pricing: For those for whom the lowest amount is truly still prohibitive, there is now an option to choose your own price (starting at $5/month) at this link. Those who hold multiple marginalized identities (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color, LQBTQIA+, physically disabled) are especially encouraged to use this option.

This is my way of creating a community that is truly accessible to as many auDHDers as possible, regardless of financial, race-based, or class-based privilege.
