Chaim Bentorah is so much more than a bus driver for Jesus. But in his day job, he serves the least of these through driving people with disabilities. Learn how through his struggles with Aspberger's Syndrome, Chaim had a unique encounter with the Lord that encouraged him to see God in a new way. He now leads others to the heart of God with his other job, an author and teacher of Hebrew and Aramaic. Chaim has written more than 20 books on dissecting the words of the Bible to find the heart of God.

Autism Identification Should Come with a Warning Label (Including Autistic Burnout)   There are things that happen to most autistic people once they identify as autistic, and there should be a warning label! If you're late diagnosed, and high masking, there's a good chance you are, or will be in autistic burnout. There's also skill regression, and not being able to push through anymore. This can be confusing and distressing. I bring you up to date on my health journey, and where I'm at with autistic burnout, and I provide a few resources.   HIGHLIGHTS Summary In this episode, Patricia provides a personal update on her health and discusses the challenges of identifying as autistic. She shares her experiences with navigating the healthcare system and dealing with health issues such as vestibular neuritis. Patricia also explores the impact of autistic burnout and trauma, as well as the need for positive male archetypes in her life. She discusses the lack of reciprocity in relationships and the importance of self-compassion and rest. Patricia concludes by encouraging listeners to embrace all parts of themselves and share the podcast with others. Autistic Burnout Autistic burnout is a phenomenon experienced by many individuals, characterized by extreme exhaustion, mental fatigue, and sensory overload. It often results from prolonged periods of masking, camouflaging, and trying to fit into neurotypical expectations, leading to a depletion of cognitive and emotional resources. Autistic burnout can manifest as difficulty in functioning, heightened sensory sensitivities, emotional meltdowns, and a sense of overwhelm. Recognizing the signs of autistic burnout is crucial for individuals to prioritize self-care, seek support, and make necessary adjustments to prevent further exhaustion. Strategies to manage autistic burnout may include setting boundaries, practicing sensory regulation techniques, engaging in self-soothing activities, and seeking therapy or counseling. Creating a supportive environment that accommodates sensory needs, communication preferences, and individual differences can help prevent and alleviate autistic burnout. Educating employers, educators, and healthcare providers about autistic burnout can lead to more inclusive and accommodating environments for autistic individuals. Understanding one's neurodivergent traits can help individuals recognize their limits, advocate for their needs, and navigate challenges related to autistic burnout. Building a support network of understanding friends, family members, therapists, and fellow neurodivergent individuals can provide emotional support and validation during periods of autistic burnout. Benefits of having an autism diagnosis (either self-diagnosis or formal diagnosis) for myself Self-identification and diagnosis in the autistic community are helpful in understanding one's unique neurodivergent traits and needs. It helps individuals access appropriate support, accommodations, and resources tailored to their specific differences and strengths. Self-identification empowers individuals to embrace their identity and connect with a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Diagnosis provides validation and a sense of relief for many individuals who have long struggled with feeling different or misunderstood. Understanding one's autism can lead to better self-awareness and self-acceptance, promoting mental well-being and confidence. It allows individuals to advocate for themselves in various settings, such as education, employment, and healthcare, ensuring their needs are met. Diagnosis can help individuals navigate social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and other aspects of daily life more effectively. Early diagnosis in children can lead to early intervention and support, improving long-term outcomes and quality of life. It helps dispel misconceptions and stigma surrounding autism, promoting acceptance and inclusion in society. Self-identification and diagnosis contribute to a more accurate representation of the diverse autistic community, highlighting the spectrum of experiences and challenges individuals may face.   Takeaways   Identifying as autistic can come with challenges and a range of emotions, including anger, grief, and frustration. Navigating the healthcare system can be difficult, especially when seeking a diagnosis or specialized care. Autistic burnout is a real phenomenon that can lead to skill regression and a decreased ability to function. Self-compassion and rest are essential for managing autistic burnout and maintaining overall well-being.   Chapters (please adjust for the addition of the introduction)   00:00 Introduction and Personal Update 01:15 The Challenges of Identifying as Autistic 02:08 Struggling with Health Issues 03:32 Navigating the Healthcare System 04:36 The Impact of Vestibular Neuritis 05:59 Autistic Burnout and Trauma 07:15 Grief and Anger in the Autism Journey 08:31 Childhood Experiences and Identity 09:50 The Need for Male Archetypes 11:19 Seeking Support and Advocacy 12:42 The Lack of Reciprocity in Relationships 13:54 Navigating Small World and Limited Energy 15:14 Accepting Where You Are 16:33 The Impact of Autism Diagnosis 17:54 The Complexity of Autism Presentation 19:46 The Validity of Self-Diagnosis 20:21 The Illusion of Neurotypical Functioning 21:31 Embracing Autism as a Disability 22:35 Understanding Autistic Burnout 23:46 The Impact of Medical Appointments 25:17 The Harsh Inner Critic and Self-Compassion 26:12 Fear of Not Functioning 27:05 The Lack of Recognition for Autistic Experiences 28:11 Observing Reciprocity in Relationships 29:07 The Importance of Rest and Self-Care 30:00 The Impact of Autistic Burnout on Work 31:06 Embracing All Parts of Yourself 32:20 Conclusion and Call to Share the Podcast Additional Takeaways Seek consent and ask for permission before sharing personal reactions or opinions in conversations.

Embrace self-expression and navigate social interactions in a way that aligns with your neurodivergent traits.

She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

"The symptoms of this developmental disorder (Aspberger's) include early precocity, a great ability to maintain masses of information, a lack of ability to mix with groups in age-appropriate ways, ignorance of or indifference to social norms, high intelligence and difficulty with transitions, married to a preternatural ability to concentrate on the minutiae of the task at hand."

On this ASD short, I'm going to talk about the night before school starts and for most. Maybe a lot of parents, it's. Oh, thank God they're going back to school.And having two older children that were air quotes normally developing, I was always thankful, right? Because I'm like, oh, I'm tired. I'm tired of trying to fill that empty space of what they are or aren't doing or trying to keep them occupied with summer school.And it was just a different kind of energy. Right. And it was a different kind of expectation. But it's so different when you have a child on the spectrum. It's so different when you go through an IEP and you're really looking at that and you're starting the school off, you know, strong.You're trying to get goals that you're trying to get a vision board done. And things that we've talked about in kind of the differences is it's not to say that those kind of strategies couldn't be beneficial to all children, but for us, because there's such a gap sometimes at different times in their education.And what we have to be aware of, you know, kind of anticipating it's a lot. Right. And so it's the night before he starts tomorrow. And my world is going to change tomorrow. You know how I manage my day, the expectations I have for myself, the accountability I had to myself and to him and to myhusband and to my family, it all gets a little bit more complicated because I do have to be so involved. And partly it's the journey for me of being a home school teacher, as well as having the resource center teachers available so that it's kind of a combined effort.But because there's a lot of academic teaching and gap-filling that I do, it's like going back to school for myself. You know, I'm having to learn real history this year. I'm going back to Algebra one this year.And we're doing some new things like forensic science and CSI crime investigations and science this year. And we're doing a speech which I love. And, you know, I'm also creating a class that's life skills kind of centered more around career identification and development.But it's really talking about independence and what that looks like for the future. And though I'm excited and I'm thankful I get to do it because of my circumstances that I'm in right now, it's also a full-time job and it's a full-time job and I don't get paid for.Right. So sometimes there's no, like, oh, my God, it is so good. So I get to buy myself a new purse or this, that and the other, but I get to look at my child. And he's doing amazing, right?But I'm having anxiety tonight before it starts because I know what's ahead, right? It's the work. It's the work that's worthwhile, no question. But work nonetheless. And so I'm trying to get an early night's sleep and drink lots of water and try to figure out my workout schedule so that I can keep my anxiety down andall the things that we do to kind of self regulate so that I can give my son the most and then really hope that I get it. And what I mean by get it is how I guess how to do some of these things I haven't done since myself in high school.And I'm not going to say my age, but it was quite a while ago and be effective. Right. And really understand the journey that continues to go and the advocacy that continues to be. And when you put that in full swing and you've got such critical years, he's starting 10th grade.And these are kind of really important years for us to investigate strengths and really get an idea of independence. Teaching companies, coping strategies, teaching them self advocacy in a way that really perpetuates as much of a normal life that they can have and be expected to have.And that is the benefit. But I also want everyone to know that I get it. How different and hard it is sometimes because I feel it tonight as I'm running around getting the first-day outfit, making sure as backpacks ready, he's got all of his supplies and his pencils sharpened.And not to say that he doesn't help me with that book, but he does. But it's that kind of next step. And what I used to feel like, oh, OK, good. They're back in school now. I'm like, oh, it's yeah, he's back in school.And my nights change. My days change. And, you know, that journey is different. And I, again, couldn't be more thankful for it to do it. But I'm also acknowledging that I'm like taking it all. I can do this right.Get ready for the change. Get ready for the work, get ready to not only learn subjects but then figure out how to teach them to him and understand the hurdles. And how do I backtrack a little bit to give more input, to teach more effectively so that the outcome is learning, not just passing tests.And that is something that takes a lot. And I'm glad to do it. And I know you all are, too. But I just want you to know I'm with you and I feel that and I know the struggles and the ups and downs and we can get through this.And in the end, we do have the most angelic, wonderful kids in the world. So until next time, I hope you have an amazing week, I hope. You started your school is good. And that's a journey that is presented in front of you as something that you feel successful at.But you're also challenged and you learn more to benefit your child so that in the end, they walk into rooms, head held high, shoulders high, chest popped out, and they know who they are. They know their strengths and they're confident to be there.Until next time. God bless.

Have you ever experienced a “smear campaign” led by a once trusted partner, friend, or family member? It can feel suffocating. Those who join in against you add overwhelming confusion and pain. Everything you do to try to defend yourself and bring an end to it, seems to only make it worse! So what CAN you do? This is an amazing part of this week's podcast with Breakthrough Life Coach Lisa Romano! Along with that, learn how dysfunctional childhood homes create codependency. You don't have to spend your life walking around on eggshells, feeling invisible, unimportant, or unworthy. Lisa has great suggestions for overcoming a toxic, codependent lifestyle. She describes her own revelation about being "codependent, not crazy." We discuss narcissists, narcissism versus Aspberger's, and female narcissists who seem like your very best friend. Ending with an example of a “Splitter,” which is someone who bonds and feels safe by dividing and manipulating people. Lisa's work has been instrumental in healing my life. I loved this conversation!
