So sad that the OG video got taken down!! You can tell how much effort was put into the workbook and video, I really appreciate these resources and many people do too, so thank you so much for all the work you put into this
Irene, this video was the missing piece I didn't even know I was missing 🧠 I knew that sometimes I can get really hyperfocused on a task or activity and have trouble breaking away, but it never occurred to me that rather than avoiding it altogether, I SHOULD include days in my schedule where I can get into flow. Those are days when I ought to schedule less other tasks, so that I have energy & focus for the flow state. The concept of stacking similar tasks also makes so much sense! It's so much easier to film videos & respond to messages after I've just called a friend, because I'm already in the social mindset. I can expand this concept to stacking tasks or themes over whole weeks too, not just individual days 💡 I've dreaded tasks that I don't feel like doing them at this moment, even though that future task is to be done tomorrow or next week. And now I understand that of course in this specific moment I'm not ready to do that task, but tomorrow when I actually get to it, I will be in that mindset then. It's hard sometimes to stop thinking about tomorrow/next week tasks when I'm just trying to do today's, but that's the brain 🧠 Truuuly thank you so much for this! You give such great information in your videos & workbooks!
I am recovering from a surgery so my brain fog is exponentially worse than usual. I did not see the original video but am sorry that it was taken down, unfairly imo. I am saving this video to watch later when I have more capacity to absorb it because transitions are a difficult area for myself and for members of my family as well.
Appreciate this so much! The difference between tasks and activities 🤯. I spent a summer decluttering and resenting and not being able to rest. Thank you ❤🙏🏽❤️.
I’m so sorry the original got taken down! I watched it like 5 times in the first few days because it has seriously changed my life. I’ve purchased the work book on Etsy too and I’ve been watching and filling it out at the same time. I’ve told all my ND friends about this video and your channel and I’m so grateful to have found you/your content this year! ❤
Your videos are really helpful! Im a high schooler who is preparing for entrance exams to get to college next year. I could finally validate my autism through your videos this year, its been a blessing. I live in a dysfunctional household abusive dynamic so its hard because i have no autonomy and no means to assert my needs or spend money so these videos that you put out is indeed a great resource for people like me. Managing life is hard especially when you are so out of tune with yourselves and the adults around you including the school authorities are all so dismissing but I truly feel grateful and hopeful to see thoughtful people like you out there it really projects a ray of hope and a silver lining when everything around me feels utterly disappointing and depressing. Thank you for putting yourself out there, i really hope to grow into a beautiful adult and come back to you in person to express my gratitude as well as buy all the awesome stuff u create!! 🎉❤Cheers
@@MatchaLatomate Your simple words they feel like gentle breeze in the middle of scorching heat that was intending to break my bones, thank you for writing back! 💙 Power to you!
@@LurkingLinnet I'm so glad it helps make you feel better!! I've replied because I've been there, one one thing that helped me was the thought that one day, I'll be out of my dysfunctional household. But I know that sometimes, it can feel like forever, so I just wanted to share a little bit of that hope and optimism with you!
@@MatchaLatomate it sure can feel like forever and my heart goes out to you if you've been there too...❤️ But also the fact that your own mind can fool you or sometimes its just the truth that life outside of your home can feel even worse, so you prefer to choose a familiar pain instead that in turn sabotages all your efforts to do well in the present and the future possibility of a good life, those are the very stagnating places for me but seeing a stranger over youtube reply to a comment like this gives me food for thought and encourages me to think differently on one of those days when I just want to surrender and die when the whole world feels bad and there is no other state to be in but to be stuck so you prefer to choose death instead.. And so I'll be grateful to you for that hope ! ❤️💙🤍 And I'll hold on to it. This is the impact words can have, thank you..
I was looking forward to watching this when it was about to premiere! So glad you reposted. I struggle with transitions so badly, it makes my brain feel sticky and it’s frustrating to explain to other people because I barely understand it myself.
I’m so sorry that it got taken down, love your page and support you so much, I’m a 39 year old black male who is an Air Force Veteran and who has been late diagnosed with Autism this year and your page has helped me so so so so much, if you have any merch I would love to support you in anyways possible🙏🏾
Thank you so much for making this video. I really struggled with transitions and the care and love you that you put to this video has been so helpful for me to be able to explore this much more specially as the new school year starts.❤
thank you for putting so much effort into your work! i’m currently in the process of getting my autism diagnosis and your videos have been a source of help and comfort for the past few months. i’m so happy i found your channel! i’ve been struggling for my whole life, thinking it was just normal and that everyone struggled this way, but after another psychologist told me i have autistic traits and that i should seek an expert for diagnosis, you were also one of the factors that made me decide on pursuing this. so thank you! on my way to your ☕️❤️, i really hope you can get back some of the revenue! much love, elios
I'm gonna comment again to say thank you SO much for your work, this video has truly changed my life. I've struggled with transitions and the resulting dysregulation for as long as I can remember, without knowing how to manage it. Your amazing insights have made all the difference ❤
Thank you so much for working so hard to bring us these videos despite the way UA-cam sometime screws up big time I really appreciate so much everything you do over here 💖✨🫶
Your videos inspire me you are such an amazing person and i have autism to and I feel the same way I have to say your beautiful ❤❤❤❤ and I it’s good to find someone who has autism I have feelings for you you are amazing😊😊😊😊😊
I think I'm in "small garden watering can, half full" mode, but I was definitely in a "mostly empty glass of water" mode about 2 months ago, going back an indeterminant amount of time before that. I'm really struggling, but I'm optimistic about maybe having a large garden watering can that's mostly full by this time next year 💝
A lot of great concepts here. I really appreciate your work and brilliance. I’m going to give this a try. Today is my recovery day after traveling home from a trip yesterday. My autistic inertia is most like a cup of water, I’m struggling to transition and craving autistic inertia (able to reach autistic inertia with effort), level 4/5 distractability. I pruned my tasks/activities to a crucial 2: to go vote (physical) and go for a walk (physical). I did a major transition by letting myself follow my interests and go into autistic inertia until about 3pm, where I was then able to muster up the focus and self discipline to go vote (with the supportive prompting from others, that I requested). I’m in the parking lot now doing a small transition by returning to this video, then when I go home I’m going to walk. I think I need to play around with these concepts a bit more, but I see this being a really helpful tools! Thank you so much! ❤

I will buy your workbook in the new year, hopefully when I've got more work etc. Too broke to even spend £5 on something non essential currently. That will change though. Thank you so much for sharing this anyway, it does illustrate that your primary mission is to share useful and helpful knowledge with the community and not lock it up behind a pay wall, that means the world
Comment, like, to replace lossy engagement for mentioning a major public thing which apparently wants to lose public interest. I'll come back and actually watch the video later.

I already watched it before the strike but I rewatch it so you can monetize the visualization.
Thank you for your focus and work on this. Just purchased a copy. Would you be able to recommend a good program for becoming a Behavior Technician?
