Where to hear from Natalie.

podcast · Meet My Autistic Brain · 2026-02-09

Natalie shares the systems-thinking approach behind the book — step-by-step strategies for parties, friendships, and doctor's appointments. The conversation covers how to plan before socializing, how to save energy for what matters, and how to recognize your own limits. 42 minutes.

podcast · Law School Toolbox · 2026-07-06

Natalie joins host Lee Burgess for a practical conversation on thriving as a neurodivergent professional — reframing meeting requests as efficiency rather than accommodation, turning brainstorms and note-taking from anxiety triggers into strategic advantages, and avoiding the "administrative penalty box." A wide-ranging talk on scaffolding, self-advocacy for junior professionals, and why the tools that work for autistic adults work for everyone. 43 minutes.

podcast · Meet My Autistic Brain · 2026-05-04

In a role reversal, Natalie takes the host's chair to interview the woman behind Meet My Autistic Brain — a sitting judge who has hosted anonymously. They discuss masking when your work requires it, why we don't 'learn our way out of' autism, and the episodes that have most resonated with listeners. 28 minutes.

podcast · Adulting with Autism · 2026-04-01

Natalie and host April unpack practical systems for autistic life — sensory 'calorie' budgeting before and after events, the 'hurricane warning' system for spotting burnout early, and the three times disclosure can make sense. Plus a minimalist executive-function setup for when productivity apps become 'too much.' 34 minutes.

podcast · Different, Not Broken · 2025-10-22

Natalie goes deep on reverse-engineering a life that works for your brain — from writing pre-op letters to surgeons to her 'hot meter' for handling the 'you don't look autistic' crowd. A practical conversation on building support systems and treating diagnosis as a plot point, not the whole story. 37 minutes.

interview · The Highlands Current · 2025-08-01

A Q&A with Natalie, a Philipstown resident, on her path from being diagnosed as an adult to writing the book. She discusses the misunderstandings she faced before diagnosis, the systems-engineering approach she brought to her own behaviors, and the responses from readers — especially family members of autistic adults who 'had no idea what they were going through.'
