Welcome to Neuroprovocateurs, the podcast all about neurodiversity and self acceptance. Want to hear all about how neurodiversity affects culture, relationships, sexuality and identity? You’ve come to the right place.

On our third episode, Pam Shaffer and Jessica Stoya discuss the complexities of perception, both in personal and professional contexts. Jessica shares the unique challenges that come with being a publicly perceived person across multiple cultures with stories ranging from the deeply personal to the utterly absurd such as the need to constantly change outfits in photos to appease the algorithms. They explore the impact of public perception on their personal lives, the energy required to interact with others, and the importance of authenticity. Both emphasize the need for clear communication about expectations in relationships and the importance of understanding different facets of one's identity.
