  • 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?

  • Great podcast…

    But please consider removing that scratchy noise that starts each episode. Not ND friendly for some listeners with auditory sensitivities.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Accepting and Embracing Your Autistic Self
Q: If you were speaking to someone, either an adult or a child, who has just learned they are autistic, what would you say to them?
You're not broken. Learn what being autistic means to you on an individual level, how it impacts your strengths, and remember that you're who you're meant to be.
Self-Compassion, Mindfulness, and Letting Go of Perfect
Q: How do you see that combination of uncertainty and comparison fueling perfectionism?
It creates chronic stress, making parents feel they're not good enough and that their children's performance reflects on them.
Self-Compassion, Mindfulness, and Letting Go of Perfect
Q: When parents hear the term self-compassion, what do they picture?
Many parents picture self-care advice or positive self-talk, which can feel irrelevant or annoying, especially when they are burned out.
The Empathetic Classroom: A Mental Health Mindset for Educators
Q: What do you think are the things that get in the way of implementing trauma-informed practices?
Fear is a major barrier to change in schools; it prevents meaningful mental health practices due to a focus on quantifiable standards.
