In today’s episode, we explore a unique and quirky phenomenon I call the "Three Drink Problem"—a habit I’ve noticed in myself and others with autism and Asperger's syndrome. It may seem like a small thing, but it’s deeply connected to dopamine regulation, sensory processing, and focus, especially in autistic adults.
✅ What the “Three Drink Problem” actually is
☕ Why many autistic individuals tend to juggle a hot drink, a sugary drink, and water
🧠 How this ties into dopamine-seeking behavior, a common trait in autism in adults
🌀 The role of sensory input and sensory processing disorder in managing daily routines
⚡ Why caffeine may help calm the autistic mind—yes, really!
🔎 Key signs of autism in adults, especially those with Aspergers symptoms
💡 How quirky habits often serve deeper self-regulation purposes in neurodivergent life
