I've learned a lot observing their reactive nervous systems because it's so easy to feel compassion for them. This episode uses that extended metaphor to also talk about when AuDHD nervous systems feel reactive, including with meltdowns that can include anger or violence. Depending on how much reactivity is affecting your life, it may require professional help. No matter what, you deserve compassion <3 Content note: episode mentions violence and medication Resources for anger and reactive nervous systems: Autistic anger (including therapy suggestions) Resource for non-autistic folks to understand meltdowns AuDHD emotional regulation (mentions RSD, justice sensitivity, alexithymia) ADHD rage & anger (note: I didn't find many AuDHD-specific resources on this topic - plz share if you have good ones!) Crisis Resources: USA-based anonymous crisis chat International crisis lines Various types of crisis resources in about 10 countries AuDHD Flourishing resources: Transcript Doc (often a few weeks behind, but we do catch up!)
