Hey guys, hey – happy Wednesday! I’m April, your favorite autistic OT and host of Adulting with Autism – the podcast where life skills are sexy, healing is real, and neurodivergent voices finally get the mic. Whether you're a parent guiding your autistic young adult or you're that young adult figuring it out one meltdown and meme at a time, this is your judgment-free zone to laugh, learn, and level up. 🧠💬
In today’s episode, we’re diving deep with Frank Healy, one of only 100 people on the planet diagnosed with hyperthymesia—aka he remembers every single day of his life since age six. Yep. Every. Single. Day. From '60s Batman episodes to heartbreaks and healing, Frank’s memory is like Google Calendar with emotional receipts.
🎙️ What we unpacked with Frank:
How to release emotional baggage tied to traumatic memories
Why healing your past matters more than hiding it
How to break free from the victim mindset and reclaim your narrative
The science of memory, self-talk, and mental wellness
Why journaling is still free, effective, and totally underrated (seriously—just try it)
If your brain feels overloaded—in a good way—you’re not alone. ✨ Let’s keep this neuro-spicy conversation going.

📢 Adulting with Autism is now in the Top 50 on Apple Podcasts (Education)—let’s break the top 15 and shake up a system that still isn’t talking enough about autistic adults. Smash that follow on Podbean or your favorite podcast app, and please leave a 5-star review on Apple if you cried, healed, or laughed harder than expected.
👉 Share this episode with someone who overthinks everything (you know the one) – because healing doesn't mean erasing the memory, just releasing the emotion.
Until next time, keep adulting with autism, and remember—emotions don’t expire, but healing is always an option.
✨ We believe in real stories, real conversations, and real change. If you think your journey could inspire autistic young adults or their families, I’d love to hear from you.
