We're still in a years-long pandemic. Humanity feels like it's crumbling. How do we deal with the inevitable feelings of existentialism? It's common for neurodivergent people to experience it more intensely, and at an earlier age. They question life, worry about death, and generally ask, "what's it all about?" Our guest is Leon Garber, author of a blog called Leon's Existential Cafe, and we're diving deep on episode 157. It's an encore presentation of a chat from 2020, but is very pertinent today.

Today's episode is sponsored by The Council for Exceptional Children. For more information, go to exceptionalchildren.org.
