- ***SO SORRY ABOUT TO BUZZING IN THE BACKGROUND... I FORGOT TO TURN OFF MY AIR PURIFIER 🤦🏼♀️
This video brings you into my home where I show you some ways that I have been improving our home to better suite our needs as autistic/ADHD humans. Hope you enjoy and get some ideas on how to set your home up for success.
The fan noise in the background is overwhelming for me, I really appreciate your tips and tricks but thought this was worth mentioning.
My 9yr old got diagnosed with Autism and ADHD when she was 3. She has very obvious ADHD symptoms, she also has echolalia. She’s very into open spaces, so I cleared her toys and made her room sparse. She’s much better at keeping it organized if she doesn’t have a lot of clutter to dig through.
You are a good mum.
How does she express that she needs open spaces? I feel i have that need too, our house is tiny and i’m racking brain for space solutions,
Is your daughter’s need for space much different than how most people need space?
Before I even knew I was neurodivergent I had a swing in my house. When my son was still dating his now wife she brought her nonverbal five year old over often and I shared my swing with him mid meltdown. His not mine. He lit up and it became his safe space. Such a big impact that his mom and my son put one up in their home.
Like you I swing and have always sat on the floor. My husband thought it was really weird at first but 22years of marriage later and he doesn’t really notice it anymore.
I will say now that knowing me and my grandson share similar traits explains why his mom was always so amazed at how calm he is with me and how easy it is for me to be with him as he is. He’s my favorite human.
I LOVE the chore sticks! I have a 2 and 4 yr old and I feel like this would help all of us (even hubby!) not get overwhelmed with basic daily task! Definitely setting that up today!
"there are no adults here" immediately subscribed 🤣 had my daughter at 19 and 8 years later it still feels that way lol.
The thing I love most in my kitchen is my google mini, I have a google shopping list set up and so whenever I use the last of something or go to find something and I'm out I can just say "Hey Google please add eggs to my shopping list" I find it sooooo much simpler and less distracting than any other way I've tried for shopping lists and the updated list is always available on my phone so I never forget it and can buy what I need if I'm at the market unplanned.
I loved this, please do more! Especially like organization systems that work with AuDHD brains. Thank you!
when something like food or a supply runs out or is about to run out we put it on a list on the fridge. the pen for that is also magnetic (literally just a magnet attached with some tape) so we don't end up putting it somewhere else.
also we have small jars for trash everywhere there isn't an actual trash can in reach so we don't just put it on the counter for example while cooking, and when the jar is full you just have to walk to the big trash once instead of every single time
It sounded like you said “nerd-divergent” and I liked it
One of the best things I've done to make sure that I don't forget to add items to my grocery list was putting a cheap Echo Dot in my kitchen and syncing it with a shopping list app on my phone. Seeing that we're getting low on rice in the pantry and just calling out, "Alexa, add rice to my shopping list," and having it add it for me has been a game changer in my battle against the dreaded, "I don't need to write this down, I'll remember..." curse. Bonus points in that I won't forget my shopping list at home since it's on my phone and I can quickly add items to the list WHILE my hubby is at the store if necessary.
I just brought 2 Alexa’s after this comment and it has arrived and I started using it last night it is amazing like my assistant
Those are good ideas to share, thanks.
Sometimes I get exhausted dealing with neurotypical people online because they literally have all the education on autism they could want online, right at their fingertips, but no...they'd rather believe Autism is just like Downs Syndrome, and then try to treat you that way. :/ One day I hope someone will do a video explaining to NT's how Autism and Downs Sydrome ARE DIFFERENT and how disparaging either groups does them both real world harm. But I get tired of trying to explain. The fact is, I went undiagnosed, like many women and girls, most of my life. I"m glad things are getting better but there's still nowhere near enough expert diagnosticians out there, or easy access to them. But Autism itself has been on the mainstream radar for YEARS and yet so many NT's STILL don't understand it? That tells me that the experts in Autism are NOT doing good educational outreach and have a ways to go before they are.
I wonder if it’s because many of those educated in autism are autistic themselves? The thought makes me giggle but I sincerely wonder if it’s true.
I was late diagnosed 23 with ASD and 42 with combined ADHD
There are commonalities! Working memory deficit related accommodations work equally well for ADHD, autism, and DS. :)
The chore popsicle sticks method is cool. What does the "free" person usually decide to do?
I put my socks in clear open bins in my dresser instead of "folding" them together, and I leave them inside out in the wash since I wear them inside out all the time anyway. All my other clothes, including underwear, hang on plain white plastic hangers in the center of my closet so I can immediately see what's clean and available. (The other dresser drawers hold spare toiletries and office supplies.)
Heavier seasonal jackets and sweatshirts hang at one side of my closet, half hidden but still within reach. Even before I knew I was AuDHD, I thought it really weird that people would have a wardrobe big enough to warrant seasonally packing everything in and out of boxes. Why would I keep half my clothes in the garage or basement? I wear the same clothes year-round (at 90F or -40F), just with extra winter layers when needed.
This resonates with me. I wear the same clothes, just more or fewer layers.
This is the best video on this subject that I’ve seen yet. Most videos seem focused on less globally, helpful life hacks. I’ve had for a few years now. Maybe even decades… things like automatic bread cookers with a timer, so I wake up to a cinnamon roll. Automatic coffee, or tea makers, so I have more time in the morning, but still wake up to something that helps me. And even cooking much of my food sous vide, so it’s ready to go, and I don’t have to do so much work. At this point in my life, it’s about saving the time and inconvenience and irritation - the stress triggers - as much as anything else.
Omg I don’t even have kids and I’m 100% thinking about doing all of these!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
So glad to see you back! I'm totally stealing the chore sticks idea when we have kids :)
Just found this and thank you...recently diagnosed at 35 autism type 2 and also have adhd since 13 have been trying to get forms in for supports for months :(.... theres so much I don't know... looking at your channel "what are stims" i am guessing thats the beatboxing ans hair twirling and patting my leg? "What is masking" I am guessing the amount of thinking and overthinking I do in social situations? "Executive disfunction" this one I know... thats the ... i have not gotten some forms in for ... months. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your channel many thanks for sharing
Masking is fighting to fit into the box that NTs prescribe in all situations when you just can’t but try and pretend you can
Stims help relieve anxiety and yes beatboxing, hair twirling and leg tapping are all examples so are clicking pens and chewing pen lids continuously
I have already thought about those clothing bins ( 8:20) omg i am so happy to see other neurospicy people do this! Thanks for every tip in this video. love it!
1:50 I heard the jingle of tags and said, "(Gasp!) You have a doggie!" 🥰 And then you acknowledged the sound and dog, too. 😍
Hey, new subscriber here! Hello!
🙂 I'm also Autistic and an ADHDer. I also make ND videos (sometimes)
I love watching videos about ND friendly homes and finding new ways to streamline the functionality of home life.
This has been so insightful, I've been doing a similar sort of thing with my meal planning too.
I really need a swing but unfortunately can't put one cause I'm renting plus, there's not enough space.
Thanks for the helpful hints.
Would a comfortable rocking chair be a helpful alternative for you? Rocking chairs used to be in almost every home and not only for rocking babies. Everyone used them and benefitted from rocking. 😄
i`m watching this video laying on the floor and 2 hours ago i went outside just to go to the swing :)
you`re really nice to listen to, thanksfor the video!
Love the chuck it bucket idea. Cute, funny and useful.
Folding clothes is awwwwwful for me. I gave up on dressers and I hang all of my clothes except for socks and underwear. Shein also has very affordable space saver hangers of different types (ones with hooks, hangers with clamps to hold 7 pairs of pants on one hanger etc.) and its really helped me be able to minimize getting overwhelmed trying to pick out clothes and put them away. I have one hanger for all my pants, one for every day shirts and gym shirts, one for nicer blouses and so on.
The sticks for the chores is GENIUS THank you
I have just watched a video on the autistic accent and I cant unhear it now. It doesnt seem to matter ehat the regional accent is the autistic accent overlays it.
I agree about making groceries visible. I have to leave to all of the pet food etc where I can see it or I would forget to buy it so there is a pile of dog food in my living room.
I do wonder if every ND person has piles of things on their stairs! Lol
I love the idea of having a swing. I really want one of those egg chairs
Great video and all very relatable. Great tips and encouragement. 🙏🏼💕
Great video!! Love the ideas. We’re moving into a new home that’s being designed by me to be more functional for my family. I never thought about an inside swing. Great idea..
A hammock inside or on the balcony is the even more versatile version of a swing 😉
Totally using the chuck it bucket idea.
This was such a great video! I am the mom of 4 neurodivergent children and I really feel such peace when I see how I can implement some of these things into my life. Thank you!!
The chore sticks seem like an inspired concept! I will try it
i love the spaghetti bowl at the end, really deep to avoid spills i love it
It's actually traditional to have a swing in South Indian homes, so.
I love the swing. I can spend hours on a swing.
Fantastic video. Love your swing chair
Love the chuck it bucket!
I really love the lighting in your home and the swing. 🙂
Thank you so much. Very inspiring: congrats!
I’ve used a jar with slips of paper and I write the list of exercises that I’m supposed to do on them. It worked for a while but my ADHD brain craves novelty. More ideas like this that I could rotate in would be helpful. First time I’ve seen your channel and I’ve subscribed.
Auditory thing for me, I didn’t notice the fan because my own is going. I’m calmer with the noise in the background (until I’m not🤣🤣🤣).
5 seconds in.. I DO need a swing!
This is so interesting. Thank you. Chore sticks especially is a great idea.
I think I might try chore sticks it helps me out as an adult with autism and adhd
that's an awesome ornate white swing glad that you where speeding up with each swing
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing
I have glasses similar to yours, but gosh yours are so so so cute! I like the edges!
Thank you. Really enjoyed your video. I have just posted a couple of videos on how to design for autism with Sacred Geometry and other holistic ideas which you might find interesting. I am mainly focused on working with Sacred Geometry and how well known architects use this in their work although it is hidden in the design.
Please do more of these types of videos ❤
Wow, thank you. Seriously ❤
Hello, thank you for your helpful video. Have you a link for the board? I likenthr combination with those particular pens but havnt seen a set on UK Ebay with those exact two items. I prefer a pre structured board for that purpose as opposed to a plain. Thank you
I’ve come across some of your other videos (thanks, algorithms), but couldn’t watch ... came to this more recent one to see if it’s any different, but the problem is the same. My auditory sensory stuff needs videos with cleaner audio, like less background noise. Painful for me to try to listen to your videos. I have no idea how much it might affect others, but, you’re also not the only channel with ASD related content that I can’t access due to sensory issues (also, yours isn’t even close to being the worst for me - several others are downright excruciating). Not a criticism, but just a request for an audio upgrade if you can manage it. If you can’t do it, no judgment from me.
I think there’s a fan or something going on in the background.
@@kayelle8005 Fan + room reverb/echo + some harshness in the mic itself.
Dynamic mic at close distance is one way to deal with it.
Lavalier/lapel mic of sufficient quality would have been an improvement, but not as good as a dynamic.
Software filtering could have helped too and there are some programs now that remove noise pretty automatically and do an OK job of it. Can’t make a bad mic or recording space sound professional, but can get them sounding much better at least.
Acoustic treatments in the room would have helped with the reverb.
As an aside, if there’s anyone in her family who has sound sensitivity or sound processing issues, adding acoustic treatments in that room and maybe other places in the house too would probably have a quality of life improvement. It can be like wearing shoes that are maybe OK enough or sleeping on a mattress that’s maybe OK enough, etc. and then wearing shoes that are super comfortable and maybe your knees and ankles that you didn’t even specifically realize were bothering you stop bothering you so much and you feel way better or sleeping on a mattress that’s enough better that it improves the quality of your sleep so you feel more rested … Sensory stress is a thing and for a lot of us, we basically need all the help we can get, even minor gains. The less stress “spoons” (see: spoon theory) I spend on relatively minor stuff like shoes and room reverb, the more I have available to cope with the major stuff. Plus the whole “death by a thousand cuts” thing where even if there aren’t major stressors, an accumulation of minor ones is still crap.
@@Jonny51982 I have sensory and visual issues from ME/CFS and permanent tinnitus so I understand how debilitating it is. It’s very frustrating. I find people are willing to be slightly more understanding and accommodating with visual issues (except CZcamsrs that don’t know how to film or who love quick edits) but people are way less understanding of auditory issues. If I ask someone to repeat something because they have mumbled or looked away while speaking, or there’s been too much background noise so many get annoyed or offended.
Good reminder to upgrade my mattress and shoes. Might help my hips. Thank you.
Great video, but I realize our house hold does all of these but the chair and swing lol.
Very helpful! Thank you. 💖
Where did you get the swing? Did you just attach it to a bearing beam? I love that idea.
My son (6yo)was just diagnosed with ADD, and he has always been very rigid with his routines. Whenever we have tried to shift chore responsibilities from one person to another to change it up, he freaks out. Do any of your kids respond this way when using the chore sticks? Or do they just accept that it’s a mystery every time?
How did you set up your swing? I want a swing but I rent so I can’t attach it to the walls/ceiling
We mounted it to a stud in the ceiling… I feel like the holes could be filled in pretty easily for a renting situation but I’ve also seen free standing swing beams for sale if you didn’t want to risk it.
Really that’s great! Can you provide a link to an example of those free standing beams?

The house we’re in right now sucks in every way. I’m thankful for a place to live but the housing market needs to change so I can implement things that make our lives easier. 😫
Have you used those phomemo thermal printer labels, omg I love mine.
Hey! I love your videos - thanks for sharing so much great content. I saw in another video you mentioned you got diagnosed in WA state. I live in the Seattle area and my psychiatrist recommended I get assessed; if you're comfortable with it, would you mind sharing the name of the Dr. you worked with? Sounds like you had an overall positive experience :)
did you tie dye your shirt?
Yeah! We tie dye every summer. I was about to toss that shirt because it was stained but tie dye saved the day lol.
the fan....
My NT wife won't let me have a bean bag chair in the living room! Bah!
❤
how about getting rid of the fan 🙈 but the swing is "dope" :D
Kindly get better sound quality by investing in a small clip on mic. And or add some anti-echo panels.
Ventilatorsound is too loud. Can't focus on the Video! 🙁
Why does all the CZcamsrs have a need to curse, the Bible says dont curse! It's so unnecessary
I can't image God cares that much about such a trivial and societally specific taboo.
Your comment is rude and extremely self-centered. The world doesn't revolve around your religious beliefs.
Mmm the fans 🫠😵💫 i struggled to whatch this video edit : useful tho!
The first hack that i need is where to get money.
Shame it doesn’t grow on trees
