Ep. 68: Top-Down Man and Bottoms-Up Boy

Weirds of a Feather

Top down, bottoms up, that’s the way we like to learn! In this info-packed episode Grace is giving an overview of the two different processing styles, how they both play out in the classroom and workplace, why bottom-up processing leads to so much rumination and overwhelm for autistic people, and ways to accommodate yourself and others depending on your brainhole type.

Whether you’re a big picture thinker or you’re all about the details, we’ll help you figure out your processing style and how to best support it so you can finally finish that 5th grade animal report you’ve been putting off for so long, among other things.
