ADHD & Autistic College Students: Find Your People and Finally Exhale
College is hard. Late-diagnosed ADHD or autistic college students know it’s even harder. Deadlines appear like plot twists. Focus ghosts you. Information disappears right when you need it. And that little inner voice? Yep, the one whispering “What’s wrong with me?” — ignore it. Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. Zero. Not a thing.
That’s why we created a space for ADHD and autistic college students ages 18–25 in California and Washington — a place where masking is optional, participation is flexible, and being yourself is not only allowed, it’s encouraged.
Why This ADHD & Autistic College Support Group Exists
Let’s be real: college wasn’t designed for brains like ours. Struggling to focus, retain information, or crank out papers on time can make you feel like you’re failing… even when you’re doing your best. Without support or accommodations, that self-blame can spiral fast.
This group flips that script. Here, students can:
Explore how their brains actually work
Understand their unique learning and processing styles
Kick the “what’s wrong with me?” mindset to the curb
What Makes This Group awesome
Safe Connection: Connect with other ADHD and autistic college students who actually get it — no explanations, no apologies, just pure “me too” vibes. For many, it’s their first all-neurodivergent hangout.
Flexible Participation: Show up however works for you. Camera on? Cool. Camera off? Also cool. Chat-only? Perfect. Just lurking and silently judging memes? Absolutely valid.
Practical Support: Get real strategies and brain hacks that actually work for neurodivergent students. Because surviving college is hard enough without the extra mystery.
Self-Kindness & Stigma Reduction: Learn how to notice your sensory needs, set boundaries, and treat yourself like a human (not a project). Facilitators share their own stories to normalize the chaos and reduce shame.
Teresa leads this group as a clinician and a late-diagnosed autistic-ADHD brain — so yes, they get it. In their words:
"This is a space where students can understand their brains, stop blaming themselves, and finally feel like they belong."
