My Story
Hi, I'm Aiden. This is for us.
I'm a single dad with ADHD and autism, building the platform our community deserves—one that actually understands how our brains work.
This section introduces Aiden, the founder of AuDHD.io, who built this platform specifically for people with ADHD and autism, understanding their unique needs and experiences.
The Moment Everything Changed
I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2024 and autism in 2025. These weren't just labels—they were keys that unlocked years of confusion.
Becoming a parent revealed patterns I'd never understood about myself. The sensory overwhelm. The executive dysfunction that made simple tasks feel monumental. The shutdown responses that seemed to come out of nowhere. For years, I thought I was failing at something everyone else found natural.
Then diagnosis gave me something powerful: understanding. Not excuses—clarity.
Suddenly, my brain made sense. Why I process the world differently. Why certain situations that seem simple to others completely overwhelm my nervous system. Why my executive function works brilliantly sometimes and completely vanishes other times.
Armed with this understanding, I started searching for resources designed for AuDHD brains—places that got it. That spoke our language. That didn't treat neurodivergence as something to fix.
I couldn't find what I needed. So I decided to build it.
Building What We Deserve
I created AuDHD.io for everyone who's been told they're "too sensitive" or need to "just try harder." For those still searching for answers. For people discovering their neurodivergence and wondering what it all means. For those who finally understand themselves but can't find resources that actually get it.
This isn't a corporate platform with investors and quarterly goals. It's one neurodivergent parent building something real, using whatever bandwidth I can find between parenting and life. For us, by us—and that matters.
Real Understanding
Not clinical jargon. Not pathology. Just honest, relatable information about what it's actually like to be neurodivergent.
ADHD/Autistic-Friendly Design
Calm mode. Clear navigation. No overwhelming visuals. Because I know what sensory overload feels like.
Every feature here comes from lived experience. The calm design? Because I know what sensory overwhelm does to your ability to think. The straightforward navigation? Because executive dysfunction is real and shouldn't be a barrier to getting help. The authentic language? Because we deserve to be understood, not pathologized.
My Vision: Calm the Chaos
I want AuDHD.io to be the place where people with autism, ADHD, or both can find:
Clarity
Understanding what's happening in your brain and why you experience the world differently.
Support
Connecting with providers who actually get it—who understand neurodivergent experiences firsthand.
Community
Knowing you're not alone. That others have been through this. That it's not your fault.
Peace of Mind
Tools and resources that help you calm the chaos—because the world wasn't built for brains like ours.
This is for us, by us.
Built by someone who lives this reality every day. Someone who knows that late-night anxiety, sensory overwhelm, executive dysfunction, and autistic burnout aren't character flaws—they're part of how our brains work. And that understanding changes everything.
I'm building this one step at a time, working with the neurodivergent brain I have—not against it. It's messy. It's imperfect. It's real. And it's designed for people whose brains work like mine.
If this platform helps you find clarity sooner, connect with support that actually understands you, or just feel less alone in your experience—then every hour I spend building it matters. You deserve resources that work with your brain, not against it.
Welcome Home
Whether you're newly diagnosed, still exploring your neurodivergence, or looking for support that actually gets it—you belong here.
