I'm autistic with sensory processing challenges and noise has always been something I've struggled with. In this episode I talk about noise cancelling headphones and how they have changed my life and enabled me to do things I never thought I'd be able to do due to my sensory challenges. I also talk about other noise cancelling options like earplugs and ear defenders and compare the pros and cons of each of them.

Finch is an app that I've been using for a few years now and I've found it to be really beneficial. I also know lots of other people that use the app and have also got a lot out of it so I wanted to share my thoughts on the app and how it can benefit mental health and self-care. I describe the app in detail including how it works and the different features.

In this podcast I talk all about ADHD and memory. I explain how our memories work as well as how ADHD specifically impacts on memory. I also give some helpful strategies and tips that you can use to help you and improve your day-to-day life. Just to add, I'm not a doctor or a memory expert, i'm just a Neurodivergent person who wants to share what I've learnt and my own experiences to hopefully help you all to understand yourselves and others and lead the best life you can.

Do you think you might be autistic and/or ADHD, but aren’t sure whether to get diagnosed? Are you wondering what the point of a diagnosis even is?

In this episode, I explore the benefits of getting a formal diagnosis — from increased self-understanding and compassion to accessing the right support. If you’re feeling unsure, I hope this episode helps you feel more informed and empowered in making the decision that’s right for you.

In this episode I discuss song repetition in autistic people. I explain what it feels like and why I do it, as well as the potential reasons behind it.

On the day I recorded this episode, I forgot to take my ADHD meds so I figured, what better day to talk about what it feels like to be ADHD?

Of course, this is just my perspective and doesn’t represent everyone’s experience, but I hope it gives you some insight into the ADHD brain. And if you have ADHD yourself, I hope you find it relatable, validating, and maybe even a little reassuring.
