Episode 29 (year 5)“I Am” vs. “I Have”: A Linguistic Identity Crisis
This episode examines how the language we use—shaped by personal stories, research, and tools like the Curable app—affects identity, perception, and healing, especially in relation to neurodivergence, stigma, and chronic pain.
This episode explores how the language we use—like “the migraine” vs. “my migraine” or “autistic” vs. “person with autism”—shapes identity, perception, and even the experience of chronic pain. Drawing from personal reflections, research, and tools like the Curable app, we dive into the impact of word choice on neurodivergence, stigma, and healing. Ultimately, we examine how thoughtful language can create distance from suffering, foster empowerment, and reflect the complex ways we define ourselves.

Have you ever had meltdowns because of being discouraged from having challenges in your life? I’m sure you have them whether you’re neurotypical or neurodivergent. They are different and more prevalent for nuerodivergents.

Episode 35 (year 3): Tylenol Causes ADHD and ASD Claims
I would like to cover today the claim that has been going around since last year about Tylenol causing ADHD and ASD. I don’t think that this true because usually you are born diverse or not due to genes, head injury or an emotional trauma.
