Weirds of a Feather: An AuDHD-Adjacent Podcast

We spent Part 1 of Burnout Revisited getting you all riled up, now we’re back with some practical solutions for pulling yourself out of the slog.   In Part 2, Kristin is sharing the strategies she’s found helpful for tackling her own personal burnout. Strategies such as being vulnerable enough to ask for help, body doubling for tasks you hate, keeping your meat suit fed by any means necessary, putting your parents to work, getting into action to help others, and, if all else fails, playing a fun game of What Will Kill Me First? to prioritize your needs.   AuDHD burnout isn’t a simple fix, but the more you can accept and accommodate your neurodivergent needs, stop being the only supporting beam, and start being gentler with yourself, the better your brain and body will feel.  Resources Roseate Spoonbill: Habitat, Behavior, and More | AnimalGator Roseate spoonbill call   Visit our website: weirdsofafeather.com  Follow us on TikTok: @weirdsofafeather Watch full-length episodes on Youtube: youtube.com/@weirdsofafeather Join our Reddit community: reddit.com/r/WeirdsofaFeather/ Find us on Instagram: @weirdsofafeather  Become a Patreon member for bonus content: patreon.com/weirdsofafeather 

It’s that time of the year again where our motivation takes a nosedive and we’re left wondering whether we’ll ever make it out of the slump again. Don’t fear, because we’re here to remind you that your feelings are valid, and while things may feel heavy right now, not all hope is lost.    In Part 1, we’re revisiting what burnout is, why it’s so intense for AuDHDers, and what in the world might be contributing to it. We also spend some time pondering the bathroom habits of vampires and debating what it means to be dead, as is to be expected for any burnout discussion.   In Part 2, we’ll be giving you some practical solutions for tackling your executive dysfunction and general malaise, but for now, come commiserate in the misery with us.  Resources Visit our website: weirdsofafeather.com  Follow us on TikTok: @weirdsofafeather Watch full-length episodes on Youtube: youtube.com/@weirdsofafeather Join our Reddit community: reddit.com/r/WeirdsofaFeather/ Find us on Instagram: @weirdsofafeather  Become a Patreon member for bonus content: patreon.com/weirdsofafeather 

Empty your mouths, grab your preferred little spoons, and gather ‘round the proverbial Jell-O mold, because this Thanksgiving we’re bringing you a tasty morsel of nutrient-dense nonsense.   In this Bagel Bite, we’re ranting and raving about the injustices of the SNAP benefits system and providing some suggestions for supporting your communities, followed by listener write-ins about autistic grandparents that devolves into us inventing a spoon-based business, possibly our best one yet.  Resources Visit our website: weirdsofafeather.com  Follow us on TikTok: @weirdsofafeather Watch full-length episodes on Youtube: youtube.com/@weirdsofafeather Join our Reddit community: reddit.com/r/WeirdsofaFeather/ Find us on Instagram: @weirdsofafeather  Become a Patreon member for bonus content: patreon.com/weirdsofafeather

Grab your centaurs and hold them tight, because Seth is back in the pod loft and things are about to get serious with a side of silly.    In Part 2 of our conversation, Seth is detailing the life lessons and AuDHD skills he’s gained through martial arts and the importance of recognizing the role violence plays in our society. Then to round things out, he gets some parenting shame off his chest with a traumatizing yet character-building Pizza Secret.

We’re back from an unintentional break and we’re coming out swinging with a whopper of a guest episode. In Part 1, we’re sitting down with martial artist and lover of shapes, Seth Robinson, to discuss his AuDHD experience.    During our conversation, we chat about the cracker to cookie spectrum, the challenges of building routines, the mental stimulation of trying to avoid getting kicked in the head, the struggles of getting an autism diagnosis when you don’t fit the stereotype, the lessons on self-love that come through raising neurodivergent children, and so much more.      Resources Visit our website: weirdsofafeather.com  Follow us on TikTok: @weirdsofafeather Watch full-length episodes on Youtube: youtube.com/@weirdsofafeather Join our Reddit community: reddit.com/r/WeirdsofaFeather/ Find us on Instagram: @weirdsofafeather  Become a Patreon member for bonus content: patreon.com/weirdsofafeather
