The Energy Equation, Part 5: Supporting the Neurodivergent People Around You What if the neurodivergent person you care about is working far harder than you realise? Someone may look calm, capable and engaged while using enormous energy to manage sensory input, communication, expectations, regulation and masking. Equal participation does not always mean equal effort. This episode explores why capacity can change from one day to the next, why recovery enables future functioning, and why motivation should not be confused with capacity. It also considers the difference between support and rescue, and how curiosity, validation, clear communication and small practical changes can reduce unnecessary energy costs while preserving agency.
