We often hear about the challenges posed by Autism and Executive functioning, but what if we can make it work for us? Are you always on the lookout for executive functioning hacks? While there are a lot of tools we can use to outsource executive function, such as using calendars or leveraging Artificial Intelligence for emails, in this video, I will share a different approach – building a second brain. What is a second brain? It refers to creating an External Storage System to help you organize, sort, & track your information to alleviate the burden on your working memory. Sounds good, right? Unfortunately, it is not for everyone, including me. When I try to do that, I end up collecting way too much information, and my list of ideas becomes unmanageable. Wouldn’t it be nice if there is a way to make this work for us?

Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.

Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.

Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.

Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in midweek too.
