I’m Christine Doyle — a late-identified Autistic & ADHD (AuDHD) woman, podcast host, speaker, trainer, and community builder
Through my 1:1 Post-Identification Companion Sessions, the Wild Women Community, and my podcast Unlearning Autism, I create spaces for reflection, connection, and unlearning. My focus is supporting Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD women after late discovery — exploring identity, masking, sensory worlds, burnout, relationships, and belonging.
It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, validating lived truths, and walking alongside others as they make sense of who they are.

Episode 4 is live.
In this conversation with Laura Crowley, we unlearn one of the most persistent myths - that Autistic people lack empathy.
Here, in conversations like this, we can see the potential of what happens when Autistic-led stories shape the research, the training, the language. Autistic-led stories offer a truth, an accuracy that soothes second-guessing, self-doubt, and the familiar feeling of being misunderstood.
This episode is for anyone ready to listen beyond the stereotypes.
A huge thank you to Laura for joining me today 💕

Integrity means trusting in and loving all of who we are
And not just the more palatable parts
Allowing the self to be, unedited
To shed the nice girl amour
And the need to be liked to feel safe
But to exist authentically
Neither yearning nor hoping
Happy and proud of the truth of who we always were
For me, dysregulation feels like a pit in my stomach — like I’ve done something wrong, but I don’t know what.
I wish I had known sooner that this was evidence that I had too much on recently for my nervous system to process, and not evidence that I had done anything ‘wrong’.
Too much is too much for me - doesn’t matter one bit if it’s great stuff, good stuff, or not so good, the impact on my nervous system is the same - overstimulation, dysregulation, too much.
Following late identification I can know logically that I’ve had too much on, that my AuDHD nervous system is overloaded…
But inside that feeling, there is no logic.
Just heaviness. Alarm. A wish to disappear.
The “normal” reasons don’t fit.
Knowing and remembering what this is - this is the huge gift of understanding my neurotype, that what I need now is a turning away from self-scrutiny and instead some regulation - a shower, my cosies, a cup of tea, quietness and a hug of a book.
How does dysregulation feel for you — and what tends to trigger it most? Oh and share your soothers please!

My way of communicating is different to many around me, and theirs is different to mine. On Unlearning Autism there is no self-editing or self-monitoring … just free unfiltered beautiful Autistic communication.
What’s your favourite Autistic communication style?

It’s episode 3 🥳🥳
This week, and every second week, it’s a mini episode.. I call it ‘My Autistic Musing’ and this week it’s all about differences in (my) and maybe other Autists communication.
Only 8 minutes long .. where I talk about tangential thinking, blurting out, interrupting, layering story with story and other ways that I communicate that I didn’t understand pre-identification.
What other communication styles do you notice that are a part of your Autistic experience?
…
In the search for peace, I lost my truth.
Compassion matters — but not when it costs you yourself.
For a long time, compassion became my oxygen mask. When I didn’t yet have the rulebook, it felt like the safest way to live.
But over time, I began to notice what was missing.
There was little room for the full expression of how deeply I feel the world — how injustice jars with me, how some things when unexpressed can leave me screaming inside.
And so compassion slipped into its near cousins: people pleasing, softening, self-editing.
Integrity is different.
Integrity allows that I am compassionate enough already — and that my truth gets to be here too.
Have you ever confused kindness with self-abandonment?

Sitting in mass yesterday the priest spoke about the word “repent.”
He said it comes from Latin meaning “to think anew.”
My first reaction was almost a sigh — because as an AuDHD mind, I can be so drawn to revisiting the past, trying to make sense of it, trying to solve it.
I think many neurodivergent people relate to this: the brain is a powerful problem-solver, seeking solutions in patterns, and it naturally goes back to what it knows — old moments, old conversations, old questions that can’t ever be fully resolved now.
But that isn’t always healing. Often, it’s rumination.
What struck me was his next point:
“To think anew doesn’t mean visiting the past again. It means leaving it be, and beginning new thinking about your life today.”
That felt like permission. Or a steering back on course. To stop. Stop trying to solve everything. To radically and intentionally leave it unsolved.
Just to return to the present — and live from what is here now.
Not easy when my wandering mind almost always rests on an unresolved question, but a reminder that no more answers lie there. And my life today is waiting for this attention
