Maya and the double dance
A therapeutic story for adults with AuDHD
Maya and the double dance is a gentle, psycho-educational therapeutic story created for adults who live at the intersection of autism and ADHD (AuDHD). Through narrative (not lectures), it offers language for your inner experience: so you can feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re moving to two different rhythms at once: craving structure and novelty, needing quiet and stimulation, longing for clarity while your mind runs fast,... this story was written for you.
This story may resonate if you…
- Feel like you’re constantly balancing two different inner “drives”
- Crave predictability and novelty (sometimes in the same hour)
- Are exhausted from masking, over-functioning, or “seeming fine”
- Swing between hyperfocus and shutdown
- Want psycho-education that feels accurate, kind, and human
