Autism Knows No Borders

Navigating Neurodivergence, Part 1 with Dr. Shelby Dorsey

Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when you speak your truth.

How do autism and ADHD interact in everyday life?

Whether you know from personal experience, or you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live with both diagnoses, you’ll want to listen to this episode with BCBA Dr. Shelby Dorsey, a late-diagnosed autistic ADHDer and mother of two neurodivergent children.

This episode is part one of our conversation with Shelby Dorsey, and we discuss:

  • What it was like for Shelby to receive her diagnoses later in life
  • How she felt misunderstood growing up
  • Understanding autistic strengths and challenges
  • How society responds differently to people with autism vs ADHD
  • Thriving in social interactions and personal relationships as an autistic individual
  • Why Shelby values authenticity over social pleasantries
  • How her family operates in a flexible, non-traditional way to accommodate their neurodivergent needs 

    • To learn more about Dr. Shelby Dorsey and her work, you can follow her on Instagram @drshelbydorsey.
