In this solo episode, I cover the topic of surviving college and grad school as a highly sensitive student. I begin the episode by defining neurodiversity and differences in neurotypes. Then I go on to discuss neurodivergence and list a few well-known and lesser known forms of neurodivergence. After that, I share my own experience as a highly sensitive person, what that means, and I share strategies that can improve your higher ed experience if you too are highly sensitive. If you want to learn more about neurodivergence or are neurodivergent yourself, you’ll want to listen to this episode.
