The Late-Diagnosed, Burnout-Surviving Warrior & Attachment Alchemist
Hi there, I’m Cori—a 40-year-old autistic ADHDer who spent decades over-giving in relationships, hustling for worthiness, and crashing into burnout before realizing: Oh. This isn’t “normal” exhaustion. This is a nervous system screaming through years of masking and insecure attachment.
At 36, my autism diagnosis handed me the missing puzzle pieces. At 39, my ADHD self-diagnosis made me laugh-cry at all the unfinished planners. And somewhere between those revelations? A lifetime of “why do I feel so deeply but attach so anxiously?”—until I learned to reparent my nervous system and my relationship patterns.

Reader’s Thoughts
I came for the burnout tips but stayed for the attachment coaching. As someone with ADHD and anxious attachment, I’d never connected how my people-pleasing was fueling my burnout cycles until reading here. And the weekly newsletter is the only one I don’t immediately archive – it feels like getting advice from a friend who actually gets it.

Finally, burnout help that doesn’t make me feel broken. As a late-diagnosed autistic man, I’ve spent decades trying to ‘fix’ my exhaustion with productivity hacks that only made things worse. This site was the first resource that acknowledged my nervous system isn’t the problem – the world’s expectations are. Thank you for creating space where rest isn’t framed as failure.

Reading your ‘Late Diagnosis Grief’ article while hiding in my pantry from my overstimulating kids was the first time I felt seen as an autistic mom. Your content doesn’t just help me survive—it’s helping me break cycles. My daughter will never hear ‘stop stimming’ or ‘you’re too sensitive’ because you taught me to reframe neurodivergence as our family’s superpower.
