As a late-identified person, I didn't know what autistic burnout was until I was already many years into one. Then, I was able to make some significant changes that reduced many of my day-to-day challenges, and stayed burnout-free for a number of years. But around last summer, I almost hit hit full burnout again. In this episode, I'm explaining what happened, what I learned from it, and how I got out of burnout in record time.

On today's episode, Danielle talks with guest Rebecca Kase about everything polyvagal theory. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, polyvagal theory is an important model for understanding how people regulate emotional and physical health, especially in response to stress and perceived threats, and something we refer to in coaching very often. Rebecca discusses how we can use this model to help us understand and work with our nervous systems to feel better more often.

working towards our goals is naturally challenging because the

traditional approach to goal-setting does not align with our unique

Year’s resolutions that are neurodivergent-friendly, empowering us to

make meaningful progress and celebrate our achievements along the way.

Today, we're happy to share an episode from Learn with Dr. Emily, where she interviews comedian and ADHDer, Penn Holderness. Enjoy!

---

Growing up, Penn Holderness knew he was different than his friends. He had tics. He was called a spazz. He would cry really easily. In basketball practice, he would nearly chew through his shirt if he wasn't running around enough.

If he was growing up in the 2020's, he'd be treated for ADHD pretty quickly. But back in the 80's, ADHD information wasn't widespread, and it wasn't until college that he was officially diagnosed.

On today's episode, Penn talks about growing up with ADHD, finding his passion for music and performing arts, learning how to accept his limitations and lean into his superpowers, and how he would design a school for ADHD minds.

You don't want to miss this vulnerable and hilarious episode.

Traditional disability employment models have been focused on sheltered workshops and sub-minimum wage jobs. What does true integration look like in the modern workplace, and how can we get there? Today we're talking to Ben Schatzel, the founder of Stannum Core Solutions, an agency dedicated to creating competitive, integrated employment outcomes for neurodivergent workers, about just that.
