In this episode, we explore processing styles. The different ways our brains take in, organise, and make sense of the world. We talk about bottom up and top down processing, how they show up in everyday life, and why many autistic people experience the world through a detail first lens.
We draw on the work of Pellicano and Burr (2012), which helps explain why autistic perception can feel vivid, intense, or too real, and how differences in prediction and sensory processing shape experience.

We think about how environments can support or overload different processing styles. Autism friendly adjustments in cinemas are one example of attempts to make spaces more accessible for autistic people.

Carolyn mentions Dr Luke Beardon’s Golden Equation. Autism + Environment = Outcome. A reminder that it is often the environment that needs to change, not the autistic person.

Description

Hello we’re Catherine and Carolyn, two friends, colleagues and psychotherapists who love a curious conversation. Twice translated is a safe space to gently explore trying to bridge the experiences of everyone. Season 1 explored autistic and non autistic experiences from masking, diagnosis, big feelings and how processing styles may differ between individuals. With curiosity, compassion and humour, we share insights, psycho-education, tools, personal experiences and fictitious case examples from the therapy room to help everyone feel more understood. We would love to hear from you.

Reassuring and insightful

As a neuro-spicy family, it’s so helpful to hear symptoms broken down in a relatable way, with practical examples. It’s helped me understand the ASD brain and how I can support those around me.
