S3 E11 - Guilt: the ADHD ‘always in trouble’ feeling.

In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I share a penny-drop moment I’ve had since my autism diagnosis: the way my brain’s pattern-matching can sometimes turn uncertainty into instant self-blame — even when there’s no evidence I’ve done anything wrong.  I talk about how the same “make it make sense” engine that’s built my career can become a trap with humans, why being seemingly socially punished can trigger a reflex guilt response, and the simple reframe that’s helped me stop turning myself inside out trying to find the fault.  In this episode: The difference between normal guilt and that reflex “I must fix this” guilt.  How autistic pattern-matching and hyperfocus can become relief-seeking when things don’t make sense.  Why working with people is harder than working with systems — and why uncertainty feels like internal static.  The moment I noticed my brain “click into guilt mode”, and what helped me interrupt the spiral.  The new rule I’m practising as a reframe.
