PM Neurodivergent

Build your personal early-warning system for meltdowns or shutdowns — your specific rising signs, the triggers that stack, what actually helps at each stage, and a plain plan you can hand to the people around you. Use when someone says 'my meltdowns come out of nowhere', 'help me not shut down', 'I need a plan for when I'm overwhelmed', or supports someone who melts down or shuts down. Produces a staged warning map, a per-stage response plan, and a shareable one-pager. A self-management tool — not a clinical or crisis service.

Translate both directions across the neurodivergent↔neurotypical gap at work — decode what an indirect message actually meant ('let's circle back' = no), and rewrite your direct message so it lands without you having to sand off the point. Use when someone says 'what did my manager actually mean', 'my message came across wrong again', 'why do people think I'm blunt', or is ND navigating an NT workplace. Produces a decode of the received message and/or a rewrite of yours, with the reasoning shown so you learn the pattern.

Walk a space — home, office, commute, classroom — and find the sensory landmines quietly draining or overloading you, with fixes ranked by cost and impact. Use when someone says 'my office wrecks me and I don't know why', 'I'm overstimulated all the time', 'make my home autism/ADHD-friendly', or lives with SPD, autism, migraine, or misophonia. Produces a room-by-room sensory map, a ranked fix list (free → cheap → invest), and a portable kit for spaces you can't change. A self-help audit, not a clinical assessment.

Treat neurodivergent masking as a daily energy budget — audit what passing as neurotypical actually costs you, where the spend is worth it, where you can safely drop the mask, and how to plan a heavy-masking day so you don't crash after. Use when someone says 'I'm exhausted from masking', 'work drains me and I don't know why', 'how do I unmask safely', or is autistic/AuDHD/ADHD and burning out socially. Produces a mask-cost audit, a spend/drop map, and a recovery plan. A self-knowledge tool, not a diagnosis or therapy.

Set up and run a body-doubling session — using another person's presence (in the room, on a call, or a chat check-in) to start and stay on the task your ADHD brain keeps bouncing off. Use when someone says 'I can't start this task', 'body double with me', 'I only work when someone's around', or has ADHD/executive-dysfunction and a task that won't begin. Produces a session plan, the exact ask to send a body-double partner, and a solo fallback for when no one's available.
