**SESSION ABSTRACT: Understanding ADHD & Autism - Myths, Beliefs & Truths**
Kayla Oughton is both autistic and ADHD (AuDHD), diagnosed as an adult after a lifetime of wondering why things felt harder. Now a Certified ADHD-Informed Coach and founder of Dopamine & Co, she helps a global community of 115,000+ understand their brains and build lives that fit.
In this warm, myth-busting session, you’ll learn:
- What ADHD and autism really are (and what they’re not)
- Why “naughty”, “lazy” or “rude” behaviour is often an overwhelmed brain
- Simple, practical ways to connect with and support the kids and grandkids (and possibly yourselves) in your life
- Come curious. Leave with tools you can use straight away.
