FAMILY
◈ Het leven in een jong gezin met 3 kids is elke dag weer een nieuw avontuur. Kinderen kunnen hun ouders voor talloze uitdagingen stellen, maar tegelijkertijd krijg je daar zo veel liefde en geluk voor terug! Samen met het gezin leuke dingen doen en mooie momenten beleven en gewoon gelukkig zijn. Daar draait het om!
Bij het opvoeden van het kleine grut kom je wel eens situaties tegen waarvan je je afvraagt hoe je dat moet aanpakken, en of de aanpak die gekozen is wel de juiste blijkt te zijn. En dat hebben wij ook! Ook hierover delen wij blogs over.
Volg hier onze belevenissen, onze tips & trics, en andere gezin-gerelateerde onderwerpen die we graag met jullie willen delen.
What Is Verbal Processing? Understanding the ADHD & Autistic Brain in Real Time
What Is Verbal Processing? Verbal processing isn’t rambling. It’s how ADHD and autistic brains organize chaos, solve problems, and create clarity out loud.
Thinking in Overdrive: Fast Thoughts, Hyperfocus & the Neurodivergent Brain
I think roughly seven times faster than I speak. Words spill out, branching like an oil spill at 100 km/h. Connections form instantly, possibilities and blind spots mapped in a complex web. My mind works in layers—each processing a different type of information,...
Public Transport & my Neurodivergence: A One-Way Ticket to Overload
Public transport isn’t just a bus or train ride for many autistic and ADHD brains. It’s a minefield of smells, noise, crowds, delays, and unpredictable chaos. For neurodivergent people, every trip can drain energy, trigger overstimulation, and feel like survival. This blog dives into lived experiences, the hidden cost of “just taking the bus,” and why it’s more than simple inconvenience.
Processing the World Through Art: How Neurodivergent Minds Find Order in Chaos
For autistic and ADHD brains, daily life can feel like drowning in stimuli. Every sound, smell, and detail gets noticed and processed at lightning speed. Art becomes more than a hobby—it’s survival. In this blog, artist Jolanda Marti shares how her layered thinking finds structure, expression, and healing through creation.
Autistic Burnout: Ignoring Special Interest and rest needs will Slowly Destroy You
Autistic burnout isn’t a buzzword. It isn’t some trendy label floating around the internet. It’s raw, it’s brutal, and it will shut down your body and mind completely.
For many of us with autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, burnout isn’t about being “a bit tired.” It’s about total system collapse. And I know this, not from reading about it, but because I’ve been there.
Body Picking & Jaw Clenching: A Neurodivergent Struggle
Body picking and jaw clenching aren’t bad habits—they’re neurodivergent coping mechanisms. Learn how ADHD, autism, and SPD fuel these behaviors, and why replacement stims can make all the difference.
Autism, ADHD and Energy: Why Rest Is Survival, Not Laziness.
Autistic and ADHD brains burn energy fast. Learn why rest is essential, why fun can be as draining as stress, and how recovery fuels resilience.
Autism, ADHD: When Empathy Becomes Absorption
Many people assume autism and ADHD mean “lacking empathy.” The truth is often the opposite. For some of us, emotions don’t stop at observation; we absorb them. Living with autism and ADHD can mean feeling other people’s pain, joy, and fear as if it were our own. This post explores what hyper-empathy looks like, why it happens, and how to cope.
Unmasking, Social Scripts, Eye Contact & the Villain Era of Self-Preservation
Eye contact & social rules: for neurodivergent brains it’s not instinct, it’s choreography, masking, and energy management. Authenticity is freedom. Wow, but you make such good eye contact—you can’t be autistic!” For lots of neurodivergent people, social interaction isn’t just “natural.” It’s an algorithm.
Analytical processing of social interactions, Audhd
While neurotypical people often process social interactions intuitively, my brain doesn’t. Autism means I don’t automatically decode social norms. ADHD means my attention jumps, scanning every detail. Combined, it creates hyper-attunement. I don’t just see what you say, I see what you’re hiding.
Expressies
Expressies. Ik verzamel ze. Van micro tot mega expressie. Love it all. Bij kinderen flitsen er vaak per seconde wel 3 tot 4 expressies langs. Dromerig, de verte in starend. Breed uit schaterlachend, rebels vol plannetjes. Boos of verdrietig. Kinderen schakelen...
