About this listen

Over two billion TikTok views. Endless "signs you might be AuDHD" videos. And an algorithm that cannot tell the difference between a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition and a stress response to a difficult year. In this episode, we break down how social media content pipelines move users from ADHD content to autism content to AuDHD content, why the contradiction factor makes AuDHD videos so engaging, and what the research on "platformed diagnosis" reveals about how algorithms shape self-discovery. We follow two people who watched the same video, felt the same recognition, and received completely different clinical explanations.

This episode is based on Chapter 1 of AuDHD or Not? by Theo Lloyds Gaius, available now on Amazon.com. Search "AuDHD or Not by Theo Lloyds Gaius." Listen to the full audiobook on Spotify.
