  • So Validating!

    I am a 39yo female just diagnosed by my therapist last week. I’ve never been a podcast girl due to what I now (thanks to this podcast) believe is auditory processing issues. So I enjoy and am appreciative for the transcripts to episodes that have them. I self diagnosed after my daughter got an educational diagnosis. I’m now experiencing the grief of questioning what is me and what is the mask, the years lost, and who I would be/the life I would have lived if I knew sooner. I am so thankful I fou... more

    i haven‘t gone that far into your archive of resources yet, but the episodes i‘ve listened to have already yielded so much for me. those are especially:

    *your conversation with ryan bush and rebecca evanko, both carrying a clear thread (as i imagine many other episodes do as well) about becoming who we are and honing our gifts of autistic being, but also specifically the therapeutic tools and assessment protocols you talk with rebecca about brings me hope that i really can use, as someone who‘s ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leveraging Your High-Energy Mind for Success: Thriving With ADHD
Q: Why is there such resistance and how can we deal with it?
Smith explains that tasks may not produce the expected reward for people with ADHD, making habits harder to establish and maintain. He recommends understanding this difference and finding alternative ways to reward and support desired routines.
Leveraging Your High-Energy Mind for Success: Thriving With ADHD
Q: Since apparently there are many things in common, how do you differentiate the two?
Smith says the traits can be difficult to disentangle when someone has both. In general, autism may lead someone to reduce stimulation and seek predictability, while ADHD may lead them to seek novelty and stimulation.
Here’s What Happened When a Doctor Set Out to Design Healthcare For Neurodivergent Brains
Q: What advice would you give autistic people who can't access your practice so that they can get neuro-inclusive care?
She recommends using All Brains Belong's free toolkits and resources, attending Brain Club to connect with others and find language for describing needs, and exploring possible accommodations to request.
Here’s What Happened When a Doctor Set Out to Design Healthcare For Neurodivergent Brains
Q: What is All Brains Belong and what did you intend it to be when you started it?
Houser describes a nonprofit community health organization with a medical practice for neurodivergent people, free community programs, education resources, and support shaped by community needs.
What Is Autism?
Q: How do you approach masking and being your authentic self?
Schuld argues that masking is not a simple dichotomy; she practices selective masking to feel safe and communicate effectively, while recognizing that everyone masks to some extent.
