What happens when the life you thought you understood is suddenly explained by two words: autism and ADHD? Diagnosed with AuDHD in middle age, Anton Shaw looks back at decades of masking, misunderstanding, anxiety, burnout, grief and achievement—and begins the harder work of understanding the person underneath it all. Living with AuDHD After a Late Diagnosis is neither a clinical manual nor a promise to "fix" yourself. It is an honest, personal and practical account of learning how your brain actually works, recognising both its limits and its strengths, accepting the support you need, and gradually building a life that fits the person you are. Above all, it is a book about moving from explanation to understanding—and from understanding to hope.
