I built this because I needed it to exist

And because nobody was talking about what it actually takes to recover from AuDHD burnout — not neurotypical burnout, not ADHD burnout, not Autistic burnout, but the specific chaos of both at once.

Late-diagnosed AuDHD, PDA-profile, former chronic masker, recovering overachiever. I built this because the resources I needed didn't exist — so I made them.

audhd educator • RECOVERY COACH • somatic FACILITATOR

Hi, I'm Nicole. I was diagnosed AuDHD at 37

I spent 20+ years educating children across three countries, burned out multiple times, left it for healing and embodiment work: yoga, breathwork, meditation, parts work, somatic experiencing, conscious dance, reiki, trauma-informed coaching.

I practised it, taught it, lived inside it. And I still kept burning out. The kind that put me out of work, unable to eat, get dressed, or leave the house. I thought leaving teaching would solve all my burnout problems. It didn't.

At 37, the AuDHD diagnosis came, and the missing piece finally clicked: for an AuDHD nervous system, the healing practices can also be demands. Life-long masking, c-PTSD, PoTS, MCAS, hEDS, and PMDD were also playing a huge part in my recurrent burnouts. Initially, I had to figure this all out on my own.

Working with neuro-affirming AuDHD-specific coaches, therapists, OTs, studying the research, coaching neurodivergent adults, and listening to the experiences of hundreds of AuDHD folks taught me the rest. The Roadmap bridges all of it: a recovery framework that accounts for the AuDHD experience. It is not a replacement to therapy, but a companion to walk alongside it.

Everything I share, I've lived first. I now help AuDHDers rebuild after burnout in a way that honours their true capacity, through the frameworks and teachings inside the Roadmap.

ADHD

resources told me to add more stimulation.

AUTISTIC

burnout resources told me to remove it.

But nobody was talking about what happens when your nervous system needs both, sometimes in the same moment.

So I started building what I actually needed: a framework for brains that cycle between extremes. That need both stabby and squishy sensory experiences to feel sane enough to engage in the world. Tools that reduce demand without burning life to the ground. Language for the specific kind of exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. Capacity management for brains that don't just 'switch off'.

That framework became The Recovery Roadmap. Then the practice library. Then the guides. Then the AI Assistant. Then the course.

Now it's a complete ecosystem — and it's helping hundreds of late-discovered AuDHD adults finally understand what's happening in their nervous systems and start recovering in a way that actually fits.

My next offering to the community is THE PDA WAY... coming soon... stay tuned!
