  • Deep appreciation

    As a neuroinclusive and neuroaffirming leadership coach, I deeply appreciate the Neurodiversity Podcast for the way it centers lived experience, nuance, and respect. 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.

The Social Detective: Moving Beyond Prescriptive Communication Skills
Q: How do you distinguish between supporting someone's social situation, how they approach problems, how they are able to think about things, and balancing that with, like, encouraging conformity, especially if those things don't really line up?
Winner starts by asking what the person wants and how they understand the situation. She seeks to understand their perspective and social self-awareness before working toward understanding other people's perspectives.
The Social Detective: Moving Beyond Prescriptive Communication Skills
Q: As the conversation around neurodiversity developed and as neurodivergent people have shared their experiences, how have you reconsidered social support and how has that shaped your work?
Winner says feedback from neurodivergent people prompted her and her colleagues to listen more closely and communicate their approach more clearly. Her work focuses on understanding specific situations and social-learning styles rather than correcting behavior or applying one-size-fits-all prescriptions.
The Boredom Paradox: Why Having Plenty to Do Doesn't Cure Monotony
Q: When we look at specifically ADHD and boredom proneness, are there any things that we can say with confidence, or are there just a lot of questions still out there as far as the research goes?
Danckert says ADHD symptoms and boredom proneness are moderately correlated, including both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms. The research is largely correlational, and more work is needed to understand the relationship.
The Boredom Paradox: Why Having Plenty to Do Doesn't Cure Monotony
Q: How would you describe the experience of boredom? Like, what's happening when someone feels bored? And why might that sometimes look from the outside like they're just lazy or perhaps unmotivated?
Danckert explains that boredom is motivated rather than apathetic: people want meaningful activity, but what is currently available does not appeal to them, often leaving them restless and agitated.
Why Smart People Get Stuck: Asynchrony, Perfectionism, and Identity
Q: Can you talk a little about perfectionism and how it shows up and what can be done about it?
Perfectionism is a defense against discomfort and uncertainty; it can be managed by understanding it as a signal of what needs to be learned, identifying specific missing steps (like asking for help), and reframing progress as incremental rather than flawless completion.
