Episode 1: I’ll Bring The Chaos & You Help Organize It

Have you ever felt like there was some big mystery that you could never solve as to why you acted and thought the way you did?

Maybe you were told that you are neurodivergent but struggle to understand what that means for you.

Do you feel tired of masking and don't know where to find a voice that will speak out, be supportive, and educate about neurodivergence?

This episode is for you.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  1. Understand what it means to be autistic and how it can be easily misdiagnosed and misunderstood.
  2. Identify the many ways in which autism shows up in a person and its diversity.
  3. Understand what it means to mask and how this reflects in and shifts the dynamics of relationships.

In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Megan Anna Neff, Psychologist, and Patrick Casale, MA, LCMHC, LCAS, 2 Autistic-ADHDer Therapists, and see what this podcast has in store for you.
