Welcome to the Meerkat Squad Podcast
Here we will investigate the intersection of autism, ADHD, and other identities, and the variety of experiences that result from it.
We are using a neuro-affirming, inclusive and decolonial lens and we will draw on the lived experiences of ourselves and others to explore all facets of AuDHD life.
This podcast is a companion to an online community with a variety of resources from courses and lectures to discussions and social events.

AuDHD Emotional Regulation in Chaotic Times
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Joris and Sheila interview Angela Rockwell about the AuDHD emotional experience, particularly navigating the chaotic times we live in.
Angela is a neurodivergent somatic coach and educator based in the Pacific Northwest. In 2021, they founded Tacocat Wellness, a growing practice dedicated to making wellness and mental health resources more inclusive, accessible, and empowering.
Angela brings their own intersectional, neuroaffirming, and decolonial lens to the conversation, offering information and support for ADHD and autistic people who may not know what emotional regulation can look like for them. Many believe that to be regulated is to be eternally calm, or to deny the often harsh realities we live in. Angela explains this is not the case, and offers practical tools for those who may need them.
