This episode explores the concept of fluctuating capacity in neurodivergent individuals, challenging the traditional expectation of consistent performance.
The episode highlights how sensory input, emotional energy, and cognitive load can cause significant variability in ability, leading to harmful misconceptions and expectations. Instead of demanding linear consistency, the podcast advocates for redefining consistency to accommodate fluctuating energy and capacity, such as long-term engagement and recognizing the importance of rest. It emphasizes creating flexible environments that respect these natural rhythms to allow neurodivergent individuals to thrive and contribute meaningfully without burnout.
The episode promotes embracing diverse thinking styles and varied approaches to learning, working, and creating.
