  • Sensory issue

    Good show- I wish I could connect and access the content, but you've got music playing the entire time. I'm ND, and sensory stuff can be a challenge. The music has meet the voice track is really distracting.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Selective Mutism & Autism in Adults: Communication Strategies | Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum
Q: How do you differentiate between selective mutism and autism?
Individuals with selective mutism may be mute in at least one setting, and social anxiety can be a barrier to effective communication, while those on the autism spectrum might struggle with the nuances of social interactions even if they can speak.
Spiritual Awakening for Autistic Adults: Energy Rituals, Unmasking & Nervous System Safety | Ashmita Arora
Q: What would you tell them?
There's only one problem and there's only one solution to every single problem. The problem is always attachment and on the other side of that, to truly heal... is always detachment.
Spiritual Awakening for Autistic Adults: Energy Rituals, Unmasking & Nervous System Safety | Ashmita Arora
Q: How can this relate to self-discovery for autistic young adults navigating and shifting their identities and learning to really unmask?
My work is on a soul level. So I bypass all the distortion and the noise and go to soul truth. At the end of the day, we're all frequency and we're all energy.
Resilience After Trauma: Inner Game for Autistic Adults | Meredith Alexander
Q: How do you help people walk the line between grit, self-compassion, so they remain self-resilient without burning out?
It's important to take a breath, resist judgment, and to not fall into negative self-talk. Creating discipline and using naming techniques can help manage those thoughts.
Neurodivergent Parenting ND: Sara Hartley on Affirmations, Align Method & Late ADHD Diagnosis | Adulting with Autism
Q: So, for my young adults out there, how can parents out there who are on your journey discovering that they may be ADHD or autistic, create alignment?
It is literally to help parents not lose their shit. The entire goal behind the method is to align myself with my child and empathize with them.
