Autist's Impression

Podcasts

Podcasting has become an important outlet for me both musically and in my advocacy for neurodivergent people.

My two neurodiversity-related podcasts are below, and are both available via all major podcast platforms.

glitchy switch

My personal podcast of short monologues where I talk about the different experiences I’ve had navigating life after diagnosis with ADHD and autism.

The goal of this is to provide a human face and some comfort either for those going through a similar journey or people just interested or looking to be good allies.

S3 E13 – Autistic burnout: why it happens and what helped me. – Glitchy Switch: What ADHD feels like to an adult.

In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I finally come back to the topic I kept promising: burnout — the kind that hits neurodivergent people (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) while you’re still “technically functioning”. I talk about what it felt like for me, why it’s so easy to misread as “just stress”, and why it took me far longer than it should have to admit what was actually happening — even to myself. In this episode: What does autistic burnout / ADHD burnout actually feel like from the inside? Why can you look fine on the outside while your nervous system is quietly tapping out? What sorts of work environments and ways of working can push AuDHD people towards burnout? What helped me start recovering when the usual corporate support tools weren’t enough? Why is the word “burnout” still so hard to say out loud, even now?

we too are one

The podcast I produce in partnership with AuDHD UK to raise awareness of the charity and the experience of people with autism and/or ADHD.

It’s a series of interviews with all sorts of people with different perspectives on neurodiversity ranging from education to religion and corporate life.

S2 E9 BONUS EPISODE: The One With All The Teachers – Hampshire SEND Conference February '26 – We Too Are One: Making a world more inclusive for AuDHD people.

A special edition of the show where for the first time we do an outside broadcast from the Hampshire SEND Conference held at the Utilita Bowl in Southampton on February 6th 2026. We were there at the invitation of friend of the show Laura Hamson to see how the special educational needs of children, such as those with autism and ADHD, are being met and engaged with by teaching staff across the county. It was an inspiring and insightful visit which both illuminated the challenges and the rewards of the work that the staff do, plus many interesting parallels and food for thought for those of us in the professional world. Special thanks to Laura and all the Hampshire SENCOs who made me feel so welcome on the day, and took the time to chat 🙏🏻 In this episode, we cover topics including: The need for teaching staff and children to co-regulate for best results. How AI used creatively and responsibly can benefit children, parents and staff. The preparation required for young people passing from the teaching environment into working life. The parallels between the learning environment and the workplace. Examples of positive leadership styles when implementing inclusivity at scale with limited resources.
