Today, I'm joined by Melissa Booth-Simonsen, who shares her transformative experience of being diagnosed with autism just before turning 50. Prior to this, she had spent decades figuring out her unique needs and masking behaviors to fit into a neurotypical world. Melissa discusses the impact of her diagnosis, navigating sensory needs, and battling autism burnout.
My conversation with Melissa on neurodiversity is a vivid reflection of how individuals can navigate and thrive with their unique neurodiverse identities. It underscores the importance of societal understanding and personal self-compassion, ultimately making the world a better place for everyone.
The Point to Ponder are Neurocards created by Amy Peters at Newglade Counselling. You can purchase your own set here.
