96 Building Our Own Systems 35:32

35:32

Reflecting on the interview with Anna, who shared about accommodations for her students and herself. Learning how to build our own systems/structures is often more useful than being handed a system. Because no matter how much dopamine we get initially from a new tool or system, it inevitably becomes stale. Instead of throwing the whole thing out the window every time, I've learned how to pull forward elements that are still working. This continuous process of experimenting and tweaking (with rest/recovery interspersed, of course!) has made my life so much easier. Last 10m of the episode is about why I'm doing the work I'm doing, and the live round of LYB: Love Your Brain course info & live round update Resources: Transcript Doc Email Newsletter : Nothing Wrong With Us Like Your Brain community space (Patreon) Hosted on Acast.

Anna is an educator who has developed an incredible approach with accommodations at the core (for the student AND herself!). It makes sense pedagogically, and it's working! With a core of psychological safety, students are able to explore writing and language with their own goals in mind. We've also known each other since I was 15... so we talk a bit about the mysterious backstory of living in a Christian sorority ;) Resources Anna mentioned: Her English 101 Online Textbook Workshopping: Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process All My Relations podcast Love Your Brain course info & live round update Resources: Transcript Doc Email Newsletter : Nothing Wrong With Us Like Your Brain community space (Patreon) Hosted on Acast.

93 Tunnel of Focus: Monotropism, Trauma, and Thriving 42:21

for 5 weeks siden42:21

42:21

Thanks Eric Tivers for interviewing me & allowing me to share the full episode here as well. His show notes : In this episode of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers is joined by Mattia Maurée, an award-winning composer, poet, and host of the AuDHD Flourishing Podcast . Mattia shares their insights into the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent (ND) individuals, particularly those with ADHD and autism, as they navigate trauma, self-expression, and what they describe as “attention tunnels.” Mattia opens up about their personal journey, discussing the impact of complex PTSD, disordered eating, and their late diagnoses of ADHD and autism. They explain how monotropism—having a narrower field of focus—shapes their experience as a ND person. Through the lens of monotropism, Mattia explores how being stuck in an attention tunnel can make transitioning to different tasks or social situations feel overwhelming and distressing. Eric and Mattia dive deep into the intersections of trauma and neurodivergence, examining how ND brains may be more easily traumatized, especially in environments that fail to meet their unique needs. They discuss the profound impact of ND parents raising ND children and the challenges of navigating systems that don’t support their differences. This conversation also highlights the importance of self-expression in healing and flourishing. Mattia explains how self-expression, rather than achievement, has become central to their definition of success, emphasizing the importance of creating work that resonates emotionally, even if it doesn’t fit the traditional metrics of success. Other topics discussed include: The connection between hyperfocus and monotropism in ADHD and autism How Mattia balances creativity, self-care, and flourishing as a ND individual The complexity of navigating trauma in ND families The importance of community and support systems for ND creatives and entrepreneurs This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay of trauma, neurodivergence, and flourishing. Whether you identify as ND or are simply curious about these experiences, this conversation offers valuable insights into the importance of creating space for self-expression, healing, and growth.

92 Sobriety While AuDHD + Gifted with Amy Knott Parrish 59:02

for 6 weeks siden59:02

59:02

Thank you to guest Amy Knott Parrish for sharing about her unusual journey with sobriety. When she realized what her future was going to look like, she... stopped drinking. Because it wasn't about the drinking, it was about the problem that the drinking was self-medicating. After nine years of continuous sobriety, her therapist insisted that she try AA, but it wasn't the right fit. As with many institutions, it wasn't built for her! The giftedness/intensity piece adds another layer—we talk about how we sometimes just need the psychoeducation on certain topics, not necessarily the emotional excavation approach. (I could talk about that for hours.)

91 Gifted + AuDHD: Surviving (part 2) 1:04:20

for 7 weeks siden1:04:20

1:04:20

(Part 2 of 2. Part 1 here ) Being AuDHD + gifted is being an outlier of outliers. I'd guess most of us feel like aliens. And even when we start to understand the shape of our experiences, it can feel overwhelming to even begin to order our understanding in a satisfying way. (Autoethnography, anyone?) Our depth and intensity needs can be quite challenging to meet, especially if we have lower physiological capacity due to trauma/CPTSD, and other intersectional identities that are often marginalized/mistreated. Mentioned in episode: 1. Some giftedness models: Rainforest mind Ruf's 5 levels InterGifted & HEPG " Dabrowski’s Theory and Existential Depression in Gifted Children and Adults " 2. Living With Intensity book* 3. Neurocomplexity & PDA as existential intelligence 4. Autism/ADHD/Gifted Venn Diagram 5. Overexcitabilities & being "too much" 6.

Dr Chris Wells speaks & teaches about positive disintegration, Dabrowski's theory that (among other things) provides an alternate explanation for some mental illness. While the theory is not entirely about giftedness, it helps many gifted people make sense of their experiences. Dr Wells also talks about their journey, which included being on disability for many years. It's a reminder that while labels can change, they can also hold an enormous amount of power!

Sheldon Gay shares about giftedness, in particular the intersections of being late-identified as a Black man. He hosts the I Must Be BUG'N podcast (Black, Underrepresented/Unidentified, Gifted and otherwise Neurodivergent). I absolutely love his term of having a sparkly mind! We weave through many topics, including education and melanated & marginalized kids not having their needs met. This is the first of 5-6 upcoming episodes on gifted neurodivergent experiences. p.s. that "or, but anyway" that I didn't finish was that people experience my intensity as seeming like mental illness.

Intrusive Thoughts & AuDHD 14:28

for 13 weeks siden14:28

14:28

Mini episode on my experience with intrusive thoughts and how/when they stopped being distressing. Monotropic brains tend toward thought loops and thus can make intrusive thoughts pretty easily. In my case, I think my brain was in part trying to generate interest when my needs were not being met. Dopamine is also a learning chemical that tells the brain to pay attention right now. This is just my experience... Please seek professional help if you're having distressing intrusive thoughts!
