If you've ever built a routine, stuck to it for a while, and then abandoned it the moment something went wrong, this episode is for you. In this episode Dr. Salena Justice introduces the concept of rhythms versus routines and why the shift in thinking can completely change your relationship with structure. Adapted from the work of Dr. Tay, a psychologist specializing in autistic kids, this framework has been really impactful with adult clients too.

In this episode:

  • Why structure and predictability are genuinely regulating for autistic brains
  • Why rigid routines often fail, and why that's not a personal failing
  • The all or nothing thought pattern that causes routines to collapse
  • What a rhythm actually is and how it differs from a routine
  • A real life workday example of a rigid routine vs a rhythm
  • What anchors are and how to identify yours
  • How to build a rhythm that can survive real life interruptions
  • Your takeaway: how to start building a rhythm this week
