Another planner. Another routine. And dinner is still unexpectedly difficult. How do you turn what you know about your ADHD, autism or AuDHD into practical support for the life you're actually living?

In Episode 17 of Between Us | Neurodivergent Conversations, Christine and Mareike explore the gap between understanding your brain and organising everyday life around it. We talk about visible reminders, fewer decisions, body doubling, flexible routines and planning for low-capacity days. The starting point is one thing that keeps going wrong, then getting curious about what makes it difficult. We share systems we've abandoned and adjustments we're still experimenting with, including making room for transitions and recovery instead of expecting ourselves to push through.

• Practical ADHD, autism and AuDHD strategies for daily life
• Visible storage, reminders and externalising memory
• Reducing decisions and making the first step easier
• Body doubling, interest and momentum for starting tasks
• Flexible routines and low-capacity versions of ordinary days
• Planning transitions, communication and recovery time
