Hacking Errands and Appointments That Drain the Autistic Brain

November 9, 2026 · 12 min

Show notes

Got an appointment at 3 PM? Guess that means the entire day before it is ruined. If you get stuck in waiting mode—sitting there burning through hours because you can't start a project or relax—you aren't alone. This episode gives you some hacks to manage your energy and get your errands done, your appointments handled. And maybe get a few of those wasted hours back.
