Episode summary

Temple Grandin and Dr. Stacey Denise outline digital-hygiene rules for autistic adults: what the algorithm rabbit hole does to mental health, the one-hour screen rule, how to curate your feed, and simple swaps for real-world connection that lowers anxiety and improves sleep—vital during perimenopause/menopause.

Key takeaways

  • Algorithms pull you into overload; design friction
  • One-hour/day is enough for most—protect your attention
  • Safe-feed checklist: follow/mute/block with intention
  • Replace scrolling with real activities + older mentors
  • A 7-day boundary plan you can adjust to your life

Guest: Temple Grandin — bestselling author and autism advocate.
