Resilience After Trauma: Inner Game for Autistic Adults | Meredith Alexander

Crushed by life's boulders—trauma, overwhelm, or self-doubt as an autistic/AuDHD/ADHD young adult? 😢 This episode of Adulting With Autism turns "impossible" into "I'm possible" with Meredith Alexander's inner game resilience strategies for neurodivergent thriving!

Meredith Alexander: Resilience coach/author (mindset books), blending philosophy (Plato/aikido) with modern gurus (Tony Robbins/Esther Hicks), inspired by her daughter's 'unsurvivable' boulder accident in Colombia (now Ms. Wheelchair Florida 2025). From single-mom grit post-abuse to 24/7 caregiving, she shares splitting into 'emotional vs. power observer' modes, using 3 pivotal questions (What can I control? Believe possible? Assume untrue?) to reframe despair, bust myths (happiness isn't forced positivity—it's joy as oxygen + 1% steps!), and find purpose in blind spots (My Friend the Boulder kids' books for schools/hospitals).

For AuDHD/ADHD young adults: Overcome adversity with autistic resilience strategies (breathe fear as unfamiliar, play/explore for legacy—scars = shine!), balance grit/compassion (neural pathways via better thoughts), and redefine success (boulders as epic gifts—roar louder!). Meredith's miracle legacy: Proves we're quirky global kin emerging bolder.
