141 Predictive Processing - another autism explanation

Predictive Processing (or coding) differences are a relatively new proposed idea about an underlying mechanism of autism. Preliminary studies do show differences, but not necessarily "deficits," which I think is promising. While it may not explain everything, it's a compelling theory that resonates in my anecdotal experience.

140 What's Your Energy Level?

I just had a shocking experience regarding my own energy levels while on vacation. Truly, I never would have predicted it even if you laid out all of the details going in. This episode is about figuring out what drains and rejuvenates your energy, so you can start to choose where that (technically limited) bucket of energy goes. AUDHD FLOURISHING RESOURCES: 1.

You Are Not a Burden - Repost

The story of a meltdown. For me these days, that includes some intrusive thoughts around being a burden. You are not a burden. And even if we are sometimes, that's okay. I want to be a part of communities that can carry each other sometimes. repost of ep 23 Like Your Brain [https://www.patreon.com/mattia/about] community space Transcript Doc [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1af--Bdjiwe_3nSMNnvgBRRsj5WT8DmJ_SX0VzPd9_PU/edit?usp=sharing] Email Newsletter [https://mattia.ck.page/a6b7c9bf09] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

When the Body Simply Cannot - Repost

This week I pushed my body way too far, even though I was having trouble parsing that in the moment. The story is also a great analogy for how other ND internal needs feel (including PDA). Even with all the info, self-kindness, and support, I still struggle to find that exact line of capacity. It's okay that it's hard to figure out! This is the perfect and slightly ironic follow-up from last week's episode about giving up on NT/ableist expectations ;) (ep 80) Repost of ep. 81 Mentioned in episode: * wish list [https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/31SFUV4JPZAAT?ref_=wl_share] * Experimenting Your Way to an Extraordinary Life [https://www.audhdflourishing.com/challenge-page/experiments?programId=12dc9c7c-f6d3-42d3-9310-431540953293] * Comparative Grammar of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French [https://amzn.to/40qpQCC] (affiliate link) * Mackareth's Neurocomplexity model [https://lindseymackereth.substack.com/p/neurocomplex-lifespan-model] (& affiliate link [https://lindseymackereth.substack.com?r=88j] if you want to sign up) Resources: 1.
