Tisha Campbell says she has been diagnosed with AuDHD after a year of specialist evaluations.
Speaking with Angela Yee, the actress said she saw two specialists and completed a full battery of assessments. โI took 12 tests each, and they all vary from oral tests to written tests to just Q&As,โ she said. โI took all 12 twice, and I just got my diagnosis back.โ
The diagnosis, she explained, is AuDHD. โI have AuDHD, which is a newer diagnosis where you have partial ADHD and autism. So I have a lot of autistic tendencies, and Iโm level one.โ
Campbell said the condition is not always visible. โI may not look like I need support, but I have earphones to block out sounds because I, too, have audio processing differences. Everything comes at me all at once.โ
She also discussed special interests and masking. โA lot of autistic people haveโฆ they used to call them obsessions or fixations, but we call them special interests now. And my special interest was always acting and music.โ
The diagnosis came after she finished her book. โI got the diagnosis after I wrote the book, so that partโs not even in the book,โ she said. โI feel like I know myself so much better.โ
Campbell added that she had spent years hiding her stimming. โGrowing up in Newark, you couldnโt be different. Back in the day when I grew up, you couldnโt stand out like that. So Iโve been masking my entireโฆโ
what even stood out to me in the video is that the machine isn't replacing the paramedics, it's freeing them to do everything else that keeps a resuscitation moving while chest compressions stay consistent and that's the kind of technology i find most impressive, it doesn't replace human skill, it just protects it from human limits yea
abt to cry bcuz im thinking of how my car carries me everywhere and has helped me move to safer spaces, soothes me with music, taken me to adventures like thts rly my bitch omfg :,((((
Bob Mackie should be the subject of next yearโs Met Gala theme. A Costume Institute exhibition devoted to his extraordinary legacy in costume, celebrity fashion, performance, glamour, and theatricality would be long overdue. His work deserves to be experienced as fashion history, not just nostalgia.
