Summary
Does the world ever feel too loud, too bright, or just… too much? In this episode, we’re diving into sensory overload from both the ADHD and autistic perspective. From squeaky pens and big lights to food textures, shouty music, and sweaty feet (yes, really), we share the everyday things that send our nervous systems into meltdown.
We also talk about masking, diagnosis, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to stop forcing your way through discomfort. Why do certain sounds or textures feel physically painful? Why does everything suddenly feel more intense after diagnosis? And how do these sensory struggles impact your work, relationships, and mental health?
Most importantly, we explore how understanding your sensory needs can change your life — and your relationships. Because once you know what overwhelms you, you can start building a calmer, safer, more neurodivergent-friendly world around you. 💛
