🧠 Autism vs ADHD vs AuDHD: "Keeping Friends"

Kojo Sarfo is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who drifted into making short videos about neurodivergent life and never really left. He's ADHD himself, and his skits name the small, unspoken mechanics of an AuDHD brain so precisely with a recurring catchphrase: I hate that I understand this.

This one is about how often friends actually talk to each other β€” and the particular kind of friendship where weeks of silence mean nothing is wrong at all. If it lands, his whole catalogue is worth a wander. There's a specific comfort in watching someone describe, out loud and without apology, the thing you'd assumed only you did.

Get the Snackables in the Grokkist letter.

Which letters
What's the difference?

The Grokkist letter is Danu's monthly letter about the whole Grokkist community: what people are making and thinking about, gatherings coming up, and a handful of Snackables, small good things worth your time.

The Press sends you new writing from this site as it's published (essays, talks, stories, books in instalments), plus a monthly letter from the editor. You can narrow it to the Realms you care about.

Choose either or both. Each email has a one-click way out.

What are the Realms?

Every piece in the Press lives in one or two Realms: regions of the Grokkist world, each asking for a different kind of attention. Pick the ones that draw you, and you'll only hear about pieces from those.

  • Unfolding Realm: identity and becoming
  • Entangled Vale: shared inquiry and making sense together
  • Maker's Forge: creative expression
  • Soma Isles: the body and embodied practice
  • Wild Margin: changemaking and possibility
  • Hearthlands: community and connection
