To the You Who Just Found Out You’re Neurodivergent: A Love Letter for the Beginning

In this tender, non-linear Waking Up Neurodivergent Wednesday episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, therapist and neurodivergent coach Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, LMFT, offers a warm and gentle welcome to anyone newly discovering—or quietly beginning to suspect—that they are neurodivergent.

Whether you’re autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, sensory-sensitive, or trauma-wired, this episode isn’t here to fix you. It’s here to witness you. To meet you in that swirl of emotion—relief, grief, hope, rage, exhaustion, wonder—and remind you:

• You are not late.
• You are not broken.
• You are not alone.
• You’re becoming—and that is sacred.

Inside this episode:

• A grounded reflection on identity, grief, and discovery
• A short guided moment to tell your body: “You are right on time.”
• A no-pressure Home Play invitation to be with what’s unfolding, gently

You don’t have to rush this. There is wisdom in your rhythm, and compassion in the pause.
