In this episode, I explain how and why executive dysfunction is so prevalent in autism, and I share my experiences with it.

Neurotypicals can struggle with executive dysfunction too - but autism significantly increases the likelihood of some kind of executive dysfunction because of a combination of sensory issues (likely related to the insula and amygdala connections in the brain), combined with a worse short term memory.

Every day I look for ways to either improve my short term memory or find workarounds for it.

Sensory issues are often easier to solve with accommodations than immediately forgetting whatever I was doing two minutes ago.

I find that the best ways to overcome struggling are to first identify WHAT you are struggling with, then identify WHY you are struggling with it.  And instead of pretending to be okay - remember that you CAN and SHOULD ask for help and accommodations when you need them.

This episode and future episodes will help you understand yourself at a deeper level & learn how to unequivocally be YOU without apology. :)

In this episode, I talk about the struggles that autistic people deal with throughout our lives.

Why is it important to you, to know who you are?

I discovered that I am autistic at the age of 26 - after spending years of my life wondering why I am different from everyone else - and believing that I was an alien that no one would ever really understand.  Turns out, there are millions of people like me, living a similar, intense, beautiful, life experience.

How would you feel if - everyone around you spoke a different language that you could not understand or even conceive of?

And what would it be like for you if you could strip away all the negative self talk and judgement that you've been stuck with for so long?
