Resources on health and neurodivergence.
Carefully chosen videos about autism, ADHD, burnout and the way the nervous system asks for support. Not from the start, not in order: you pick a theme that matters to you now and watch as much as you have room for. A short chapter, then you leave it.
Neurodivergence
10 themesHealth & wellbeing
8 themes
1:29Can you make it to the end? (Sensory sensitivity simulation)
A short simulation showing how sensory input piles up toward overload. Useful for the people around you too.
17:32The Importance of Stimming in Late Diagnosed Autistic Adults
Why stimming (self-regulation through repetitive movement) is healthy and needed, not something to correct.
4:13Do You Know The Signs Of An Autistic Meltdown?
How to recognise the early signs of a meltdown and why it is not a tantrum but the nervous system responding to too much, too fast.
6:44Autistic Meltdowns: What to do?
Concrete steps for you or someone close during and after a meltdown, focused on safety and recovery.
4:00An Introduction to Monotropism
The monotropism model explains autistic attention as a single, intense channel. It helps make sense of hyperfocus and why interruptions hurt.
9:55Damian Milton on the Double Empathy Problem
The researcher behind the theory explains why misunderstanding between autistic and non-autistic people runs both ways.
30:28Autism and the Double Empathy Problem — Dr. Damian Milton (Univ. Kent)
The original academic presentation of the double empathy theory: why social difficulties are not an autistic deficit but a mutual communication mismatch.
8:55Monotropism and Flow States — Damian Milton (Studio 3)
Damian Milton explains how monotropism — single-channel, intense autistic attention — underlies transition difficulties and the experience of flow states.
43:02Special Interests and Hyperfixations
An affirming look at focused interests as a source of joy, expertise and regulation.
44:35Autism in Adults — 55 Hidden Signs
An extended list of autistic traits that often go unnoticed in adults, useful for those who recognise themselves without having received a diagnosis yet.
13:49Autistic Meltdowns, Shutdowns and Burnout: What Is the Difference?
Explains in plain terms the three states that are often confused, with concrete signs for each and what helps in each case.
9:52What it's really like to have autism
A first-person view of how the world feels from the inside: stimming, sensory overwhelm and the need for predictability.
24:41Why Can't I Name My Emotions? Alexithymia in Autism and ADHD Explained
A thorough explanation of the difficulty identifying and naming emotions, with everyday examples and training steps.
14:10Autism and Interoception
Links the body's internal signals to emotional regulation, for those who struggle to feel what is going on in their body.
3:40Stimming — What's That?
A lived explanation of stimming as valid, necessary self-regulation, not a habit to stop.
17:23The Sensory Overwhelm of AuDHD
How autistic sensory needs collide with ADHD stimulation-seeking, and why it can feel like too much and too little at the same time.
12:43High-Masking Autistic with ADHD: 5 Signs
Five signs that help late-diagnosed AuDHD people recognise masking so automatic they no longer notice it.
8:51The Chameleons: Women and girls with autism
Why autism is often missed in women and girls, who learn to camouflage, and the cost of it.
23:52Unmasking as a High-Masking Autistic Adult
A conversation about what unmasking means in practice, why it is a slow process, and how to do it safely, step by step.
31:46Autistic Burnout and Autistic Rest — with Carole Jean Whittington
A long conversation about what real rest means for an autistic person, why ordinary rest does not restore energy, and what recovery looks like over time.
48:14Autism and Alexithymia — how emotions are processed
An academic look at how alexithymia and autism interweave in emotion processing, with practical implications for support and self-understanding.
1:09:37Energy Accounting — A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach to Stress and Burnout
A full presentation of the method for tracking what drains and what restores your energy, so you can see in black and white why you end up in deficit.

2:47Box Breathing — walkthrough 1
Exercise: Box Breathing
You breathe in four equal counts — inhale, hold, exhale, hold — usually four seconds each. The steady rhythm slows the heart and tells the nervous system it is safe, and you can do it anywhere without drawing attention.
1:06Box Breathing — walkthrough 2
Exercise: Box Breathing
The same four-equal-count breathing in a short, quick version. Handy when you just want to refresh the rhythm or need a few-minute reset between activities.
5:374-7-8 Breathing — walkthrough 1
Exercise: 4-7-8 Breathing
You inhale for four, hold for seven, and exhale slowly for eight. The long out-breath presses the body's natural brake (the vagus nerve), which is why it helps before sleep or when a wave of panic hits.
5:524-7-8 Breathing — walkthrough 2
Exercise: 4-7-8 Breathing
A second walkthrough of the same 4-7-8 pattern, with different guidance, so you can find the pacing that suits you. The key stays the same: the exhale is longer than the inhale.
3:53Diaphragmatic Breathing — walkthrough 1
Exercise: Diaphragmatic Breathing
You breathe from the belly, letting the diaphragm do the work instead of shallow chest breathing. The body reads slow, deep breathing as a sign of safety and eases out of alert mode.
3:02Diaphragmatic Breathing — walkthrough 2
Exercise: Diaphragmatic Breathing
A second walkthrough of belly breathing, useful if you want the movement shown from another angle. A hand on the abdomen lets you feel whether the breath comes from the right place.
