À propos de cette écoute

 Cliff and Eva talk about memory recall and why it’s common for those with autism and neurodivergence to struggle with memory. Eva shares how memory recall impacts her at school and they discuss the ways they have found to manage it, including with sensory input and making tasks more engaging. Episode Reveals There are many ways schools can aid students struggling with memory recall, including simple things like handouts. It is common amongst neurodivergent people to find it easier to remember things that interest them, often to a very high level. A quieter class can help all students focus more and help those with memory recall challenges. Eva finds that when a class is calm and controlled, she feels less stressed and less impacted by her memory recall struggles. Different tools work for individuals and it’s important to trial and error things. For example many professionals suggest mind maps but this is something that doesn’t work for Eva. Routine is essential for many autistic people and Eva finds that this has an impact on her memory too. Mindfulness practices done in the right ways can be very effective. If students can focus on being in the moment it can help a lot with focus. Stimming and sensory input can also be part of this. BEST MOMENTS “It's the focus as well, isn't it? So with your ADHD, your memory, your mind might be kind of all over the place.” “Do you think when you're less stressed and the class is quieter, your memory works better?” “Don’t get me started on mind maps. I have a burning passion for hating them. I think I've always hated mind maps ever since primary. They're just so messy and they go everywhere” “I think the important thing with mind maps and other things, all the things, all the tools and memory aids that you can get, it's important to try them, isn't it? Because otherwise you won't know.” “I definitely like routine. Because with a routine you know what's gonna happen." “Being in the moment and really that can help with your focus and your ADHD sort of conditions.” RESOURCES Link to my book “What To Do When Your Child Shuts Down” ⁠⁠https://amzn.eu/d/9yYaIM6⁠⁠ CONTACT ME · Instagram: @cliff_kilmister08 · Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/cliff.kilmister/⁠ X - @KilmisterCliff HOST BIO Cliff Kilmister is a dedicated parent, advocate, and cat whisperer with firsthand experience raising a child with autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
