Noooooo .. please tell me he didn’t pass the interview

I’m in awe of anyone who can do latte art!

Thank you!! And hi!

While there are unique factors for AuDHDers (e.g sensory overload) that make us more vulnerable to burnout, hospitals are continuing to fail its employees and need to examine its structures. I hope that awareness of Autistic/ADHD burnout will lead to more neuroaffirming workplace accommodations 7/

Anyway, this is not to say that it was my fault that I burnt out. If I were neurotypical, I believe I would’ve quit earlier. AuDHD can affect interoception/bodily awareness which meant I pushed on for longer than I should’ve. The bottom line is: burnout is an *occupational* phenomenon 6/

At the start of the year, I got diagnosed with ADHD & Autism which has reframed everything I’ve gone through. I don’t know if she’s here but it was a fellow doctor from #MedTwitter who read my book and DM’d me asking if I was Autistic … and I replied “no, but I can see why you might think so” 😅 5/

I knew going back to the hospital system was not an option so I entered Academia but due to funding cuts during the pandemic, my contract was not renewed. I then decided to go into Cosmetic Medicine, which I knew I’d get judged for, but that’s what I do now and have run my own clinic for 3 years 4/

My memoir “Emotional Female” was published by Penguin Books in 2021, which has been both a blessing and a curse. Dismantling white patriarchal supremacy within Medicine can make one a target.. but I’m proud of the work I’ve done, especially writing it while still recovering from burnout 3/

I was diagnosed with depression, which I accepted but it never felt “right” (see more below). I blogged about my experiences, including discussions about the systemic failures in health care (unsafe work hours, bullying, harassment, racism, misogyny) which eventually led to a book deal 2/

Hello Mary-Ann! Long time!! ❤️ how are you? xx

That was smart! 😆 I may regret this decision (so far it’s been a struggle!)
