  • Deep appreciation

Emily Kircher-Morris brings thoughtful conversations that move beyond awareness and into understanding without pathologizing or oversimplifying neurodivergent identities. This podcast consistently challenges deficit based narratives and offers language and perspectives that actually support unmasking, self trust, and systemic change... more

  • Woo-Hoo!

    I’m 61 and I was diagnosed bipolar in 2009. I recently changed therapists and she has opened my eyes to my own Neurodivergence! Of ADHD and Autism. Irony! I was a Special Ed teacher and worked with K-8 kids with Autism! My masks are thick and I’m looking forward to peeling some of them away. This is blowing my mind! And It’s all starting to make sense NOW!

    I am frustrated that this discovery was made so late in life but I’m looking forward to exploring my unique brain and embracing the poss... more

  • Horray! 🌻🧠🌈

    Loved this podcast ever since my mom recommended it, and had it recommended by my best friend’s mom.

    Anyone else feel like “neurodiverse” sounds less negative then neuroDIVERGENT? Or is that just me?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interoception Is a Sense Few Understand
Q: Is there a link between interoception and alexithymia, and how should we approach this in practice?
Alexithymia often reflects difficulty identifying emotions, which can stem from an interoceptive disconnect. Addressing the underlying interoceptive cues can help individuals better identify and describe their emotions over time.
Interoception Is a Sense Few Understand
Q: What are practical accommodations that can help someone build interoceptive awareness?
Practical steps include proactive breaks embedded in daily routines, alarms or reminders for basic needs, and routines that help people feel good and regulate, while gradually building awareness so it's not solely reliant on external prompts.
Interoception Is a Sense Few Understand
Q: How do interoceptive differences manifest in daily life, especially for autistic individuals?
Differences can show up in toileting, eating, temperature regulation, and reacting to sensations, often leading to misinterpretations like discipline issues or pain being ignored. The key is recognizing these signals and adapting supports to be neurodiversity-affirming rather than punitive.
Interoception Is a Sense Few Understand
Q: So I want to dive right in. Can you explain what interoception is and why we should care about it?
Interoception is the sense of our inner world, the body's internal sensations, which helps regulate health and emotions. Understanding these signals is foundational for recognizing hunger, thirst, stress, and emotions, and it shifts how we approach regulation from a purely cognitive process to one that starts with the body.
Belonging Before Achievement: Redesigning Middle School for Neurodivergent Minds
Q: What would you tell your fifth grade son about how to make the most of being in middle school?
Focus on belonging and authentic contribution first; seek spaces and roles where you feel welcomed, have a trusted adult outside family to validate your skills, and gradually take on responsibilities that align with what you care about. Growth comes from real-world experiences and supportive adults who recognize your talents, not just grades.
