Why do psychologists or Psychiatrists say, “I think you might be autistic?” Or I think you might have ADHD?

Phone calls remove the visual cues that autistic people often rely on to understand tone and intent. With only voice to go by, sarcasm, emotion, and nuance become harder to interpret.

Audio-only input can also be overwhelming—background noise, delays, or poor sound quality increase sensory load and stress. Plus, phone calls demand quick responses and fast turn-taking, which can be challenging when extra processing time is needed.

Not seeing the other person creates uncertainty and anxiety, and without context or body language, jokes, idioms, and indirect language can be easily misread.

Many autistic people prefer text or video calls because they offer clarity, control, and more time to process.

How to set a boundary. Often when we set a boundary, we feel extremely anxious afterwards, worrying that the person doesn’t like us, so that we upset them. This is called post-boundary anxiety, and it really needs to be managed so you don’t undo the wonderful boundary that you set.

🧠💙 Routines & Neurodivergent Adults: Why They Matter

For many autistic adults, routines are more than habits—they’re anchors. Predictability brings calm in a world that can feel loud, fast, and overwhelming. Clear structure, visual supports, and step-by-step tasks help reduce anxiety… but executive dysfunction can still make even “simple” routines hard to start.

For adults with ADHD, routines help—but only when they’re flexible and low-pressure. Small steps, timers, music, and energy-based scheduling keep things doable. When overstimulated or bored, motivation disappears fast, making self-care routines especially challenging.

And for AuDHD adults, it’s the ultimate push-pull: the autistic need for sameness meets the ADHD need for novelty. Routines take longer to build, but once they’re set, disruptions can be extra tough. Mixing structure with variety, using mini-habits, visual aids, and body doubling can make daily life smoother.

At the end of the day, the goal isn’t “perfect routines”—it’s working with your brain, not against it. 💛

Autistic adults often have social anxiety and need to know what’s going to happen in the future event to feel grounded and safe. Often, my Autistic clients tell me they think about our plan for what they’re gonna say before a social situation to help them better deal with the anxiety.
