Listen Later

In this episode of the Neurodivergent Experience Podcast, we talk about how we switch their brains off when it all gets a bit too much!


We talk about the importance of music in our lives and our love for video games, TV shows, movies, and how they use them as a form of escapism and to switch off their brains. We talk using music and soundproof headphones to balance our moods, stimulate our minds, and find peace. We talk about the role of video games in providing escapism and allowing us to immerse ourselves in different worlds as tools for relaxation and self-expression. Plus we talk the importance of not judging others' interests and finding joy in familiar, the benefits of online gaming for socializing and the challenges of balancing screen time.


Takeaways
