Navigating neurodivergence can feel like navigating uncharted territory. However, with understanding and acceptance, neurodivergent individuals can find a path that leads to surviving and thriving. This episode offers a compassionate exploration of ADHD and neurodivergence, focusing on the shared experiences that unite us and the power of honesty and open conversation in fostering understanding and acceptance. We discuss how to handle moments of mental blankness, and how embracing these moments can lead to a more humanistic connection with others.

As we delve deeper, we shed light on the often misunderstood world of adult ADHD and Autism diagnosis. Whether you're a neurodivergent adult or a parent of a neurodiverse child, you'll gain valuable insights into recognizing symptoms, differentiating between typical teenage behaviour and behaviour that needs addressing, and the crucial role of establishing boundaries. We also discuss a fascinating concept known as body doubling, and how it can be a game-changer in helping young individuals comprehend and complete challenging tasks. 

Finally, we explore the transformative power of yoga and mindfulness for those living with neurodivergence. Discover how these practices can offer physical relief from symptoms of trauma and stress, and foster emotional healing. We also highlight the pivotal role of body repetitive behaviours and self-soothing techniques to calm and balance the nervous system. Join us for this enlightening conversation, filled with practical strategies and valuable insights for embracing and thriving with neurodivergence.
