In this episode, I talk about how I use tools like ChatGPT, Speechify, Goblin Tools, Seeing AI, and Be My Eyes as a neurodivergent and blind person. I’m autistic, completely blind, and have ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and suspected POTS.I share how AI helps me:understand myself,process emotions,manage overwhelm,organise chaotic thoughts,communicate my needs,access information,and make life feel just that little bit easier.This isn’t a debate about whether AI is good or bad. It’s simply an honest conversation about how these tools support me in everyday life and why they’ve become such an important part of my accessibility and wellbeing toolkit.Topics include:•Emotional processing and journaling•Anxiety and overwhelm support•ADHD and executive functioning•Accessibility and blindness•Communication and advocacy•Learning and information access•Creativity and podcastingI hope this episode feels helpful and gives you some ideas for how AI could support you in your own lives too.

In this episode, I talk about co-regulation. I explain what it is, how it helps, and why it’s so important, especially for autistic people. I also share why needing other people to help us regulate isn’t a weakness, but a human need.here's an interesting article I read whilst planning this episode https://autisticrealms.com/neurodivergent-co-regulation/

In this episode, I share the two apps I use every day to help me understand and manage my neurodivergent fatigue. As an autistic and ADHD person, I often struggle with interoception — the sense that tells you what’s going on inside your body — so things like stress, overwhelm and energy changes don’t always show up clearly until it’s too late. I talk about: • What HRV (Heart Rate Variability) actually is • Why it’s so helpful for autistic/ADHD fatigue • How I use the Visible app to track symptoms, energy and stability • How Athlytic helps me monitor stress, recovery and “body battery” • How both apps have prevented burnout and helped me learn my body’s patterns.If fatigue creeps up on you or you struggle to spot early warning signs, these tools might make a massive difference. They’ve honestly changed the way I manage my energy, and I hope some of this helps you too.

In this episode, I talk all about Neurodivergent fatigue and burnout, which affects so many of us. I explain the differences between fatigue and burnout, share my own experiences and how it affects me, and how co occuring conditions make it even harder. I also talk about why neurodivergent people experience such deep exhaustion, including sensory overwhelm, intense emotions, social energy drain,, constant processing and more. Most importantly, I go into what actually helps. From pacing to creating a sensory-safe environment, this episode is full of strategies and self-compassion. I hope you find it useful and relatable.

In this episode, I bust some of the biggest myths about ADHD — from the idea that it’s just a childhood condition to the myth that everyone’s “a bit ADHD.”I explore what ADHD really means, why “attention deficit” is a misleading term, and how hyperactivity can be just as much internal as external. I also talk about emotional regulation, rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), and how ADHD medication actually works.If you find this episode useful, please share it to help spread understanding. The more people who know the truth about ADHD, the better.

In this episode, I explore why so many autistic people find comfort and joy in things made for children — from TV shows and books to toys, music, and games. I talk about why predictability feels safe, how routine plays a big role, and why we shouldn’t be made to “grow out of” the things that make us happy. For me, kids’ media isn’t childish — it’s calming, joyful, and full of meaning. Maybe it’s not that autistic people never grow out of kids’ stuff — maybe the world just grows out of joy too soon.

In this episode I am joined by Victoria , who, like me, is completely blind with ADHD. We talk about the unique experience of living with both conditions, from how ADHD often gets overlooked in blind people, to what the assessment and diagnosis process is really like.Victoria shares her experience of ADHD medication which has been very different to my own. She also shares the strategies that help her manage her ADHD, from therapy and reiki to creative outlets. And Victoria also opens up about the challenges of memory, planning, and route learning, and why professionals need more awareness of the ADHD–blindness overlap. through this episode, I hope to razor awareness of the unique experience of being both blind and ADHD, and why there needs to be more support and recognition of the challenges we face. I hope you find it interesting and insightful.

In this episode, I talk about why I find meeting new people so difficult — from the fear of the unknown to the worry of not being understood — and I share the strategies that help me cope, like having pre-warning, voice recordings, and reminding myself that the anticipation is often the hardest part. If you struggle with anxiety around meeting new people I hope this episode gives you reassurance and some practical ideas to make it feel a little easier. And if you’re supporting autistic people through this I hope you gain a better understanding of the challenges and find the tips I offer useful.

In this episode, I talk about autism, intelligence, and learning or intellectual disabilities. I explain what each of these actually means, the differences between them, and why there’s often so much confusion around the terms. I explore the history and language differences between the UK and internationally, share why autism doesn’t determine intelligence, and reflect on my own experiences of having high support needs without a learning disability.

In this episode, I explore the Zones of Regulation — a framework that helps people understand their emotional states, energy levels, and what they need to feel okay.I share how the zones were adapted for me as a blind person, what each zone means (including why I call yellow the “fizzy zone”), and how I use them to reduce overwhelm, manage meltdowns, and develop more self-understanding.I talk through real-life examples, sensory strategies, and how it has made a difference for me as an autistic ADHDer.
