This week on The Neuro-Affirming Conversation Hour for Outreach and Support (NACHOS), we explore what sustains us through the chaos and calm of neurodivergent life.

From the anniversary of the world’s first roller coaster to groundbreaking research on brain health, memory, movement, and speech, this episode takes you on a journey through the unseen patterns that help us feel safe, connected, and whole.

Hosted by Dr. Adam Hazlett, this week’s conversation includes:

– A personal announcement about presenting at Yale’s Cultural Autism Studies at Yale (CASY) Summer Camp

– New research on the brain’s response to movement, rest, and sugar-coated protection

– The power of memory in hunger regulation

– Real-time brain-computer interfaces giving voice back to people with ALS

– A rethinking of time, not as minutes passed, but as meaningful moments

If you’ve ever felt out of sync with the world, unsure how to measure progress, or in need of a reminder that your rhythms are valid—this episode is for you.

Watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Your pace is real. Your story is valid. And the traces you leave matter.
