  From Chaos To Clarity, How I Use AI As A Neurodivergent And Blind Person | Ep. 38

  May 13, 202622 min

  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 podcasting I hope this episode feels helpful and gives you some ideas for how AI could support you in your own lives too.

  How I Use Tech To Manage Neurodivergent Fatigue | Ep. 36

  Nov 28, 202517 min

  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.

  The Truth About ADHD, Myths Versus Facts | Ep. 34

  Oct 31, 202518 min

  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.
