Wired Divergent: Unmasking, Confidence & Regulation for Autistic Adults

Wired Divergent is a podcast for autistic & AuDHD adults who spent a long time being a version of themselves that was never really them and understand how harmful and exhausting this can be. Host Jen deHaan is an AuDHD trauma-informed certified coach and long term educator (degree and further certification) in a variety of spaces. Masking is a form of scripting, planning and performance that a lot of neurodivergent people learn early on that often leads to exhaustion and burnout. This podcast focuses on where those things meet: unmasking, shame reduction, and confidence within a world that keeps treating us as the problem. Expect masking and autistic burnout, late-identified or late-diagnosed life, and self-trust, social confidence and getting out of your own head, and the shame that originated from society and communities around you. Some episodes discuss why something happens, and other episodes contain one easy tool or idea to try on your own. All of it comes from an AuDHD person talking to autistic & AuDHD people (you!), with no pathologizing and no fixing. We will be unmasking and unraveling any remaining long-internalized shame together. New episodes released on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Thursday episodes offer a guided nervous system regulation practice (and is inclusive of those with limited interoception and/or alexithymia). If you want to work on these things, such as unmasking and confidence building, alongside other people, Jen runs workshops about all of this and is developing an asynchronous one to one coaching practice. Head to jendehaan.com for more information. There are separate videos on Jen's YouTube about the same topics.

  • Autistic Nervous System "Regulation": Find Your Baseline & Build a System That Fits Your Brain

    Autistic Nervous System "Regulation": Find Your Baseline & Build a System That Fits Your Brain
    2026/09/01
    I've taken a lot of courses on nervous system regulation, and most of them left out autistic and AuDHD brains with alexithymia and low interoception. And never a very clear idea about what so-called "regulation" truly even means. In this episode I talk through how I build my own "regulation" system, one that fits the way my brain actually works and doesn't involve trying to figure out what is regulated and what isn't!When neurodivergence came up in these courses at all, the model being discussed stayed the same and the activities stayed the same, so anyone with a different wiring still had to figure it out on our own (or realize their models were still harmful despite having a "neurodivergent" component).I explain what interoception and alexithymia are, and why they make a lot of standard somatic and regulation advice hard to follow. I go through the idea of a personal baseline and how you can move away from it depending on where you are and who you're with. I also cover why aiming to stay calm as much as possible might not be realistic or healthy for some of our brains. Finally, I talk about why every person's reactions and baselines are normal and specific to them, and I walk through a simple way to start building a system that fits your own needs. This is the approach I use myself, and it lines up with established models like the CRM HelpNow skills, just ... improved?... so it works for a wider range of brains.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Why so much standard regulation and somatics advice leaves autistic and AuDHD people outWhat you can notice even when you can't feel clear sensations in your bodyHow to work out your own baseline, and why it changes with contextWhat the goal of staying calm all the time can cost some of usHow to start building a regulation system from your own specific needsCHAPTERS:0:00 Why standard regulation and somatics courses left me out1:55 When courses mention us but change nothing5:58 What you can notice when body sensations aren't clear8:44 Why staying calm all the time might not be the goal14:05 Why everyone's reactions and baselines are normal and their own16:25 The suggestion: build a system that fits you18:29 How to actually start, one situation at a timeRESOURCES:Neurodivergent Somatics by Nyck Walsh (book) https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324082910Nyck Walsh's Neurodivergent Somatics practitioner course About Audio and VideoThis show is available as a video on YouTube.

  • [Regulation Practice] AuDHD Nervous System Reset Using Your Special Interest

    [Regulation Practice] AuDHD Nervous System Reset Using Your Special Interest
    2026/08/27
    This is a 10-minute regulation practice for autistic and AuDHD adults that uses a chosen passion as the resource. If you're generally worn down and looking for a reset, bringing your interest to mind on purpose can do some of that work for you.You don't need to be doing the interest to get something from it, so this one suits the days when you can't get to your passion, and you're welcome to hold an object from it or look at a photo on your phone while we go. It works whether your interest arrives as a clear image, a set of facts, the feeling of being deep in the activity with nothing to see, or something in between those.I also spend part of the practice on permission, since many late diagnosed autistic adults learned early on to hide how much they love their interests, and this is a thing you're allowed to love and allowed to talk about. A neutral result counts as a result, so nothing here depends on you feeling different by the end.CHAPTERS0:00 Safety note and how this practice works2:57 Settling in and starting the practice8:35 Coming back to the room9:36 OutroAbout Audio and VideoThis show is available as a video on YouTube.

  • Autistic Burnout: Why You Perform Getting Better (But Don't Owe Anyone an Explanation)

    Autistic Burnout: Why You Perform Getting Better (But Don't Owe Anyone an Explanation)
    2026/08/25
    Autistic burnout is hard enough, and a lot of us add a second layer on top of it, performing recovery for other people while we're still deep in it. I talk through why that extra masking happens and what makes it possible to stop.The performance looks like telling people (even the professionals!) you're getting better on the schedule they expect and saying you're fine to get out of a conversation you don't have the energy for, sometimes without even knowing whether what you're saying is true. I get into why the usual recovery model, that straight line from session one to session two to getting better, doesn't fit autistic burnout, which moves sideways and backwards on its own timeline.I talk about what happens when we try to explain ourselves to people who see burnout through a neuro-normative lens (and this is almost universally true in the wellness industry! because NOTHING includes our autistic experience, brains or reality), why not being believed is so much of what put us there, and why masking through it is still a valid choice.Then I get into what changes when you have people who actually understand autistic burnout, and why you don't owe anyone the psychoeducation, or answers to questions that don't fit your brain like the one-to-ten scale.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Why so many of us mask on top of autistic burnout by performing recoveryHow the standard linear recovery model sets you up to feel like you're failingWhat not being believed has to do with landing in burnout and staying thereWhat actually changes when the person you talk to has been through it themselvesWhy you don't owe anyone the one-to-ten scale or the education about your own brainChapters0:00 The extra masking layer on top of autistic burnout3:13 Why performing recovery is its own kind of masking4:46 Why autistic burnout goes sideways and backwards5:47 Why the wellness world keeps missing autistic burnout6:50 The exhaustion of explaining and not being believed9:40 Explaining or masking, and the cost of each11:38 Who it's actually possible to be honest with14:38 Why you don't owe anyone the education16:19 Pacing yourself on your own termsAbout Audio and VideoThis show is available as a video on YouTube.
