My Autistic Diary; Expectations, Regulation & Impulse Control

In this episode of My Autistic Diary, Jeremy walks you step-by-step through how he personally navigates three of the biggest friction points in an Autistic's everyday life: expectations, regulation, and impulse control. Rather than talking in theory, he opens up his real-time process—how he slows down, identifies what’s actually being expected (by himself and others), and uses practical tools to bring clarity before pressure builds. He breaks expectations down into something usable, showing how he filters, prioritizes, and communicates them in a way that works with his brain instead of against it. From there, Jeremy separates regulation and impulse control into their own distinct challenges—and shows you exactly how he approaches each one with intention. He walks through the specific tools he uses to regulate his nervous system in the moment, then how he layers in impulse control strategies after regulation is established—never before. This episode is less about concepts and more about application: real tools, real scenarios, and a clear demonstration of how to navigate each situation individually. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually looks like to “do the work” in real time, this episode gives you a practical, honest roadmap you can begin using immediately.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.
