The Neurodiverging Podcast

One of the ways that neurodivergent people can manage our energy levels is by ensuring that our home is sensory-friendly and matches our needs. For people with autism, it is essential that feelings of overwhelm and overload are managed. This can be really tricky in the beginning. But with some self-reflection and practice (and sometimes trial and error) it is possible to create a space that works for you.

I started the Neurodiverging podcast in 2020, right before the pandemic. It evolved into a coaching business with multiple coaches, writers, and tech support. We serve clients who are neurodivergent or have accessibility needs. Today, I want to discuss running a business that prioritizes the accessibility needs of employees and clients.

CEO and engineer Peter Mann went through most of his life and career as an undiagnosed autistic. Now that’s he has a late autism diagnosis, he has pivoted to find new ways to support others who are neurodivergent and may not know how to tap into their abilities to succeed at work. His new mission is to advocate for autism awareness in the workplace – and help others overcome obstacles to create cool new companies, products and more.

I had a lovely, warm conversation with Peter about what needs to change in the workplace for autistic people to be able to use their strengths, what parenting was like for him as an undiagnosed father, his favorite anxiety coping strategies, and how our understanding of autism has changed in the past twenty years. Also, we briefly talk about how low-cost air purifiers are an important piece of health justice as global warming becomes a growing issue, so that’s in here too!

On today's summer replay, meet Dr. Rabia Subhani, neuropsychologist, certified mindfulness teacher (many times over!), and mother of an autistic child. Rabia is the creator of Mindful Village®, a secular eight to twelve week program geared towards the parents and caregivers of neurodiverse children.

On this episode of Neurodiverging, Dr. Rabia and I are discussing what mindfulness is, how it works, why it's a good fit for many neurodiverse families, and why parents need to learn to practice mindfulness before they can teach it to their children. Plus, Rabia offers many examples of exercises you can do at home with your family!

My guest today is Suzanne Rupp DeMallie, who’s recently published an amazing book: Can You Hear Me Now?: Join the Conversation to Make Public Education a Better Choice. As a parent to a child with auditory processing deficit, Suzanne fought a nationwide battle against bureaucracy to get teacher microphones into classrooms throughout the United States.

We're discussing her family's experience with auditory processing disorder, practical ideas for supporting kids dealing with the issue at home and at school, and what it was like fighting for microphones in the classroom at the national level.
