Therapist Tools for Simplifying Everyday Overwhelm

For many neurodivergent adults, even the smallest decisions — such as what to eat, what to wear, or how to respond to a text — can feel overwhelming. It isn’t laziness or failure. It’s decision fatigue, stemming from the extra executive functioning load and the emotional drain of masking every day.

In this episode, Blaze unpacks why neurodivergent brains experience decision overload, weaving in research on executive functioning and the exhaustion that comes with masking. She also shares practical therapist tools — reducing options, creating rhythms, and externalizing decisions — that can bring immediate relief.

The takeaway? Decision fatigue doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your nervous system is asking for gentleness and care.

This episode is a companion to the blog, “ND Decision Paralysis: Why Even Small Decisions Feel Impossible.” Please read it now at LoveOnTheAutismSpectrum.com.

And don’t forget: Blaze’s new book, Unmasked Self-Acceptance, launches on November 18th — offering 365 daily reflections to support you through the holidays and beyond.
