2022-08-221h 55You Don't Sound Autistic (YDSA)Episode 49: Autism and the Art of CommunicationCommunication is already a complex personal and interpersonal skill to master but even more so for the neurodivergent. How does ADHD and Autism impact the art of communication? In more ways than one, and some of those ways are significantly less obvious than others. Can something as routine as "physical self-care" have a big impact on communication skills? You might be surprised. And speaking of surprises, communicating, self-advocating and emotional processing during unexpected transitions might be the secret sauce to master the art of communication.

One of the bigger obstacles to overcome is the continual discovery of new hidden financial, physical, mental, emotional and vocational expenses of being an adult with ADHD and/or Autism. The only thing more costly than the coping mechanisms and compensatory self-soothing is the painful awareness of the numerous parts of daily life that require extra effort to maintain.

Value-based systems that only reward productivity give a false sense of joy which can also lead to depression when being productive or successful in work, relationships, goals and every day life can feel fleeting or underwhelming.

It’s a great question with multiple answers depending on your unique medical history.* Another big factor to consider is ADHD.

ADHD in WomenMultitasking should be called multi-firing especially when describing the neurological crossfires women find themselves dealing with every day. Still boxed in by gender roles, childbearing, child rearing and household management on top of working to afford today's climbing costs of living, women with ADHD are repeatedly missed and misdiagnosed due to improper evaluation of women's cycles, hormones and scripted coping mechanisms. Women with ADHD and Autism, as Blake describes from his own experience, is like walking with one short leg and one long leg and always feeling off balance and caught between two often opposite socio-emotional responses.

How is anxiety different when you're on the spectrum struggle a bit extra with social interactions, attending entertainment or sporting events (even if it's something you want to do). That's the thing about nervous energy. It's in the nerves and the nerves pick up on EVERYTHING. Then you add in sensory sensitives to lights, sounds, crowds, smells and chaos... even a trip to the grocery store on a crowded afternoon can take a Neurodiverse family down a quiet isle to regroup. It always seems like the most difficult task during those moments is communicating...

Just the thought of that is overwhelming. Blake found himself in this exact position this week and facing the same fork in his mental/emotional road that either goes left towards another round of procrastination... or right, towards the choice he's been masterfully avoiding.

Life on the spectrum is still largely misunderstood and conditionally judged. Many aspects of daily life, parenting, and thriving come with a very different owner's manual and one that's still be written for all age groups.

Finally, the medical/mental health community is understanding how autism presents in women, why it's so easily missed and/or under diagnosed and what you can do as a female (or if you identify as a female) if you suspect you may be on the spectrum.
