Episode Details

In this episode, I am talking about an article in Psychology Today called Why Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD Students Are Stressed at School that shines a light on a new study that shows that schools place double emotional burdens on neurodivergent students. I talk about how so many of us were overlooked for diagnosis as kids and how our emotional needs weren't being met and how we carried that emotional neglect from the world into adulthood. This show exists because of my Patreon members — and I'm pushing hard to reach my first milestone: 750 subscribers by the end of the year. For $12/month (with a 7-day free trial), you'll get the video version, bonus episodes, and the satisfaction of knowing you're helping me keep creating. Click here to join.
