In this episode, Stephen Martin discusses the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals, particularly those with dyslexia and ADHD, in managing time and expectations. He emphasizes the importance of understanding that tasks may take longer than anticipated, not due to laziness or incompetence, but because of the unique way neurodiverse brains process information.
