Siri Nelson: Autism and ADHD: How to Cope With a Dual Diagnosis Siri Nelson is currently in her second last year of her BA in Recreation, Sport, and Tourism. With her recent diagnosis of ADHD and Autism and the support of her friends, Siri has gained the confidence and motivation to challenge herself to do things she previously never thought were possible, such as this TED Talk. When she is not at school, Siri is constantly keeping herself busy by engaging in many different art forms such as poetry, fashion and styling, video production and editing, and her favourite artform, dance. Siri has won fine art and dance awards over the last 5 years and continues to follow wherever her passion takes her. When she isn't trying to find a way to monologue about her studies or creating elaborate plans for social media content, you can find Siri on the basketball court or working behind the scenes in promotions and event management. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Oh my goodness! I have AuDHD too and I relate so much to the way Siri speaks! Lines like “I thought it was cute, so I included it.”, “fun fact, I have autism!” and “it’s a very wild time in my brain.” To me, these seem like Siri is making jokes and if I was in the audience, I’d be laughing! However, the audience is dead silent. This can be so frustrating because I feel I’m being lighthearted and fun but others don’t seem to see it that way. I wonder if Siri feels the same way.

I love her attitude. I was diagnosed with adhd in my 30s. My wife and suspect I also have autism. I have nephews with that diagnosis so … I’ve wasted so much time wondering why I was different!!!
