Intuitive Healing & Real Self-Acceptance: Donnie Summers on Autism, Trauma, and the Gift of Sensitivity | Adulting With Autism #NeurodiverseHealing #IntuitiveEmpathy

Send us a text

On this deeply honest episode of Adulting With Autism, Donnie Summers—autistic healing practitioner, intuitive coach, and founder of Beyond Limits Healing—explains how his journey from severe depression and undiagnosed autism led him to discover the powerful gifts of intuition, sensitivity, and somatic release. Donnie shares actionable guidance on breaking emotional patterns, using self-compassion, and learning how to calm the nervous system through trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming practices.

Listeners will learn how to distinguish real intuition from self-doubt, how to move past “fixing” themselves toward radical self-acceptance, and why traits like sensitivity and emotional intensity—long misunderstood in autism—are profound assets on the healing path. The episode explores practical steps for reparenting, honest journaling, mindful self-regulation, and turning vulnerability into personal power. Donnie offers validation, calm, and wisdom for anyone struggling with trauma, self-criticism, or the pressure to be exceptional in a neurotypical world.
