Hello Aspies,

in this episode I talk with Dr. Norrine Russel. A Success coach for Middle and College levels kids.  We start off talking about and lables and how some on the spectrum just don’t like it and how people view those of us on the spectrum. Than we talk about kids a bit, and find out they both are on the spectrum and have ASD and ADHD and how they are total oppsites than we talk a bit about her pactice and how she even goes about deal with memory.

She even asks if I was going to the questions from Inside the Actors Studio.

This was a very interesting episode.

In this episode of Inside the Asperger’s Studio, I talk with Anna Granata.  A Neurodiverse life coach. In this episode we tackle many things that have to do with ADHD as well a bit of ASD.

Anna shares with me, that if you have either ASD or ADHD you most certainly have the other, and this has shown up with numerous clienrts of hers. She also mentions that ADHD is one of the main causes of low self-esteem.  Anna also shares with us that she herself has ADHD and Dyslexia and how she deals with it on a daily biases.

Anna also talks about what a normal session is like for her clients and how long they normally run for.  She says that she has clients who have come in with one or the other, to only find out that they have both and it’s like a light bulb going off to discover that have had both ADHD and ASD and just finding out know.

She also mentioned a blog post from her about does ADHD life coaching really make a difference.  https://www.grantacoaching.com/post/does-adhd-coaching-work-what-difference-does-it-make  So go give it a read.

We also talk a bit about memory and how in ADHD it is affected and what can be done to help. One of the things she told me I have heard before is that with ADHD we will only hold things in memory that hold a certain interest to us. But she also said that we are not like filing cabinets, so we cant just retrieve something if some asks us about a day, but we have to use linking to associate it with what we did on a particular day.

What she means is that if someone asked about a a particular day, we wouldn’t be able to remember, but if they said do you remember when we went to the mall and bought said item.  We would be able to remember it, because it was linked from one thing to another. But also if we hold no interested in certain things we just lose it in our memory

Hey Aspies,

in this episode of Inside the Asperger Studio I am joined again by Karla from AIMS Global.

We talk about Masking and why it is wrong for those of us on the spectrum to do it. We discuss what has to be done for companies to accept, Karla mentioned that it all about sitting down and having a honest discussion.

We also talked that masking is also in the ADHD world.

We talk about how it is draining to have to hide who you are just so you can be accepted in the society and what it does to us, to the point of coming home and just not wanting to do anything due to the fact not only are we masking, but we are also get so much stimulation it just wears us down.
