Podcast: AuDHD strengths

I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Stephanie C. Holmes about the unique AuDHD strengths that often come with autistic and ADHD profiles—and how those strengths show up in everyday life.

We explored concepts such as focus, creativity, systems thinking, persistence, and how powerful it can be to design environments that allow these traits to flourish rather than be stifled. It was such an affirming conversation, and I think many of you will resonate with it.

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history.

We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us.

Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
