S3 E13 - Autistic burnout: why it happens and what helped me.
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?

S3 E12 - Late diagnosis grief: the relief and the rage of ADHD and autism.
In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I talk about something that’s been sneaking in behind all the relief of late diagnosis: grief. Late diagnosis can bring relief — and then a wave of grief for the years you lived without the manual. Here’s what that grief actually is, why it shows up after things improve, and what helps me live with it without losing the joy. In this episode: Why feeling better now can unexpectedly trigger grief about the years before. The anger that can come from realising how long you spent sat on rails that didn’t fit. What I mean when I say this isn’t about wisdom. Why art and creativity have become the sharpest reminder of what I missed. How I’m holding the tension and moving through it.

S3 E11 - Guilt: the ADHD ‘always in trouble’ feeling.
In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I share a penny-drop moment I’ve had since my autism diagnosis: the way my brain’s pattern-matching can sometimes turn uncertainty into instant self-blame — even when there’s no evidence I’ve done anything wrong. I talk about how the same “make it make sense” engine that’s built my career can become a trap with humans, why being seemingly socially punished can trigger a reflex guilt response, and the simple reframe that’s helped me stop turning myself inside out trying to find the fault. In this episode: The difference between normal guilt and that reflex “I must fix this” guilt. How autistic pattern-matching and hyperfocus can become relief-seeking when things don’t make sense. Why working with people is harder than working with systems — and why uncertainty feels like internal static. The moment I noticed my brain “click into guilt mode”, and what helped me interrupt the spiral. The new rule I’m practising as a reframe.
