Feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to get motivated? You’re not alone. As a mum with ADHD in a busy neurodiverse home, I’ve spent years figuring out how to get things done when I don’t feel like doing anything. In this video I’m sharing the quick fixes that actually work when your motivation has disappeared and you’re frozen in that “I can’t do this” feeling.

If you’re a mum in a neuro-sparkly family, you’ll know that meltdowns can be incredibly hard — for our children and for us.

I’ve talked before about what helps during a meltdown, but in this video I’m sharing how I try to avoid them before they start.
While we can’t completely prevent autism meltdowns, there are so many strategies we can put in place to minimise them and help our children feel calmer, more supported, and understood.

In this chat, I cover:
🧠 Identifying triggers and early warning signs
📓 Journalling patterns with the Autism Journey Journal
💬 Building strong communication with your child’s school
🎯 Using the Emotional Guidance Scale and Zones of Regulation
🕒 Creating realistic routines and buffer time
🌿 Minimising sensory overload and overscheduling
💗 Empowering our kids to notice their own feelings and regulate themselves

This isn’t about bubble-wrapping our children — it’s about giving them the tools to recognise how they feel, ask for help, and find their calm.

If you’ve ever felt like other people just don’t get it, the overwhelm, the sensory overload, the pressure to make everything perfect, you’re not alone.

If you’ve ever felt at a loss when your child — especially a child with autism — is in the middle of a meltdown, you are not alone. Today I’m sharing the Firefighter Technique that completely changed the way I support my children. Instead of trying to reason or explain while they’re overwhelmed, I now think like a first responder — calm, clear, and focused on getting them safely back to their “safe and social” state. This one mindset shift has made all the difference. ✨ Free Download: 100 Signs of Autism Printable 📚 Books I mentioned; 📖The Chimp Paradox - https://amzn.to/485VxFV 📖 Reclaiming You - https://amzn.to/4nVwslJ 📚 Free Audiobook with Audible trial - https://mummyoffour.com/audible 💡 Join me in the Organised Life Club for workshops, planning parties & printable resources for your neuro-spicy family → mummyoffour.com/OLC
