ADHD, Autism, and Chronic Health Conditions: Navigating Your Neurodivergent Body


Listen Later

Many neurodivergent individuals experience physical health challenges alongside ADHD or autism. Often, these conditions are misunderstood, dismissed, or misdiagnosed. In this episode of Essence Rising, we explore the complex connection between neurodivergence and physical comorbidities, from Ehlers-Danlos and dysautonomia to GI issues, migraines, chronic pain, sleep disturbances, and more.

We'll dive into how sensory sensitivities, nervous system differences, and hormonal fluctuations interact with ADHD and autism traits, and why these experiences are often overlooked by healthcare providers. Using story-style examples, I'll make these challenges tangible and relatable, helping you see your body and nervous system as interconnected parts of your neurodivergent experience.

You'll also hear practical strategies for pacing, self-care, lifestyle supports, and advocacy. We'll discuss tools that empower you to navigate work, relationships, and medical appointments with confidence and self-compassion. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or supporting someone you love, this episode will help you better understand your body, honor your needs, and approach health with curiosity and empowerment.

Tune in to gain insights, actionable tips, and a new perspective on thriving with a neurodivergent body and mind.
