In this video, Sheri shares her personal experiences with healthcare anxiety, nervous system regulation, and recent neuropsychological assessment results. Key Highlights: Nervous System Regulation: Sheri discusses the importance of grounding, managing electrolytes, and taking time to be outside (0:02 - 0:40, 2:11 - 3:03, 7:01). Selfcare is important during burnout. She candidly talks about the challenges of chronic fatigue and sensory regulation. Healthcare Experiences: She reflects on a recent primary care appointment, noting that even routine check-ups can be highly triggering for a neurodivergent person due to communication, sensory sensitivity, anxiety, and processing barriers (3:03 - 3:45). Neuropsychological Assessment: The creator shares findings from a recent evaluation. She describes a "spiky profile" where she excels in certain areas but struggles significantly with auditory processing (4:42 - 5:48). She emphasizes that she has difficulty retaining information delivered verbally, making medical appointments particularly difficult to navigate without accommodations like recording. Advocacy & Nature: The video concludes with the creator's observations of swans at a local pond, offering a peaceful moment after discussing the stress of navigating bureaucratic healthcare policies (6:28 - 6:58). #adhd #autism #autistic #latediagnosed #dysregulation #sensitivity #doctorappointment #stress #doctoranxiety #healthcare #triggers #sensoryprocessing #neuropsychology #neuropsychevaluation #neuropsychological #assessment #grounding #earthing #nervoussystemregulation #auditoryprocessing
