342 Love on the Spectrum’s Kaelynn Partlow on Autism, ADHD, and Why She Refuses to Use the Term “AuDHD”

If you’ve ever binge-watched Love on the Spectrum (let’s be honest—who hasn’t?), you already know and love Kaelynn Partlow — the sharp, funny, and deeply insightful advocate whose story stole our hearts in season 1.

In this episode, Kristen sits down with Kaelynn for an unforgettable, no-filter conversation about Autism, ADHD, identity, and what it’s really like to live life on the bridge between two neurotypes.

Kaelynn opens up about:

1. Why she “wasn’t autistic enough for TV”
2. Why she feels she's hard to live with
3. What her day-to-day looks like behind the scenes — from hyperfocus to burnout and everything in between
4. Her newly updated book, Life on the Bridge, and how she’s using her platform to reframe the way we think about neurodiversity

This isn’t a conversation about labels — it’s about living boldly in the in-between. Kaelynn’s honesty and humor will challenge everything you think you know about Autism, ADHD, and what it means to belong.
