Losing Spoons & Playing Neurodivergent Jenga | EP20

Losing Spoons & Playing Neurodivergent Jenga | EP20

"Neurodivergent Jenga is like many little triggers, which take away each one of your little bricks"


In this episode of the Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss the concept of losing spoons and playing Neurodivergent Jenga. We talk the concept of spoons, which represents energy levels, and how different factors can drain or add to their spoons throughout the day. Have you ever been stuck playing Neurodivergent Jenga, where small triggers can lead to a meltdown? We share our personal experiences with triggers and sensory issues and how they can affect our daily lives. Jordan discusses the challenges of being a parent and how neurodivergent children can trigger your own triggers.


Takeaways


  • Spoons represent energy levels, and various factors can drain or add to them throughout the day
  • Understanding and managing triggers can help prevent meltdowns and preserve spoons
  • Parents of neurodivergent children may face additional challenges and need to find a balance between guidance and understanding.
  • Executive dysfunction can affect daily tasks and routines, leading to triggers.
