We are so excited to welcome Adam Whyborne on the podcast today! Adam is a member of Autism Matters. He was been diagnosed with autism about two years ago, and he is very extremely adventurous and is very much a go-getter. 

Adam loves to travel and has gone on a few trips with Autism Matters, including our trip to Corfu, Greece. While in Corfu, Adam’s adventurous personality came out when he went exploring and even went skydiving! He also went to Iceland, where he saw the northern lights and went on lots of tours. Adam loves doing new things, seeing new places, and doing as much as he can in each location he visits. 

With the amazing support he receives from Autism Matters, Adam is able to live a spontaneous life and he is always trying new things. He’s especially lit up by impulsive thrills, whether it’s riding horses or spending the day with llamas. Adam loves the support he gets from Autism Matters because it’s allowed him to be very independent and keep pushing his limits.

Welcome to the second half of our conversation on anxiety and overthinking with Beau Brockbank!  

Today we talk about:

Learning to drive, wondering how you’ll ever be able to assimilate all of this new information!

Taking the driving test, gaining confident and riving places you’re comfortable with using driving apps

Find yourself overthinking negative “what-ifs?” Beau’s strategy is to challenge yourself to also think of positive “what-ifs.”

Avoid thinking too much about the past. 

Knowing how to ask for help.
