Adulting with Autism

Unmasking Narcissism: The Hidden Connection to Neurodivergence & Mental Health


Listen Later

Hey guys, hey! Happy Saturday! 🌟 It’s the weekend, and today’s episode is packed with a powerful, eye-opening conversation you don’t want to miss.

Have you ever felt like life threw too many obstacles at you? You’re not alone. Today, I’m joined by Rebecca Armstead—a trauma-informed speaker, master-certified coach, and fierce advocate for neurodivergent individuals. Her story is nothing short of inspirational—overcoming child abuse, foster care, homelessness, teen pregnancy, and undiagnosed autism & ADHD to become a lifeline for struggling teens and young adults.

šŸ’” What We’re Covering Today:

āœ”ļø The link between undiagnosed neurodivergence & narcissistic traits—Why so many are misdiagnosed.
āœ”ļø How autistic & ADHD women are more vulnerable to narcissistic abuse—and how to protect yourself.
āœ”ļø Spotting the red flags—Recognizing manipulation & toxic behaviors early.
āœ”ļø Shifting from a trigger mindset to an opportunity mindset—A game-changer for healing & empowerment.
āœ”ļø Why burnout is an epidemic in the neurodivergent community—And Rebecca’s strategies to fight it.
