ND and the Heatwave

Summer might be lovely for some people, but for many neurodivergent people it can bring an entirely different set of challenges.
In this episode, Kate and Nic explore what the recent heatwaves have been like through a neurodivergent lens. From sensory overwhelm and disrupted routines to medication affected by high temperatures, reduced capacity and the simple reality of having no escape from the heat, they discuss why "it's just a bit warm" can feel like so much more.
Kate shares a month that seemed determined to test every sensory limit imaginable, while Nic talks about managing chronic pain medication during prolonged hot weather and the practical adjustments her family have had to make.
Together they reflect on the importance of recognising your own needs, communicating them to the people around you, and giving yourself permission to adapt when your usual capacity simply isn't there.
Sometimes the most neuroaffirming thing you can do is say, "I'm struggling today."
