I missed the live. I got distracted. Replay!
PS my son has both, autism and ADHD. I have so much compassion for him. ❤

This was helpful Dr. Berry. Reframing how I think about my needs and setting my self up for success by anticipating and planning better to accommodate myself. Having what I call insta-food is essential. That’s food the goes instantly in your mouth with very little,  prep or effort. Fruit, cheese, crackers, toast, cereal, yogurt. I forget to eat every day until I’m famished and I get hangry. Then I need food stat!

I don’t have my dx yet but I’m pretty sure I’m AuDHD. I have signs of both, and have from childhood, but I just thought that’s how I was. Back in the day the only kids who got extra help were the ones disrupting class.

Re: Sensory Sensitivity
When people say “Oh you just have to learn to block it out” or “You’ll get used to it and won’t even notice it after a while” Boy were they wrong! My brain is different. It’s not EVER going to be like that. It doesnt operate on the same system yours does.  Also, if I could do that I wouldn’t be mentioning how something was bothering me, I’d just be dealing with it!

I look forward to more of this content! BTW, your arms are amazing. You make me want to lift weights again! Inspiring.❤

With ADHD and depression. I get burn out quite often. I take a nap just about every day. I make myself go to my weight lifting and stretching classes--I treat it like a job. Exercise helps my nervous system stay regulated. I am lucky to live in the country, which is quiet and less densely populated. I need a certain amount of quiet each day. I am happy to be retired at 62 bc work life was terrible for me. Could rarely regulate.

Wish we could hype these!
