What happens when you finally start understanding how your brain works? This is a CRITICAL question...
In this recap episode, I revisit my conversation with Dr. Bowen Marshall and discuss some of the most nourishing nuggets we discussed.
In the full episode, we talked about neurodivergent relationships, late identification, autism, ADHD, AuDHD, and the ways our differences can create tension when we don't yet understand what's happening underneath the surface.
But this conversation was about more than diagnosis.
It was about what happens when we stop assuming everyone experiences the world the way we do.
- Why some neurodivergent people are missed.
- How overstimulation and rejection sensitivity affect relationships.
- Why self-awareness changes how we interpret conflict.
- Why "everyone is a little autistic" misses the point.
- How race and marginalization shape neurodivergent self-discovery.
- What it means to love ourselves without trying to erase our differences.
