Episode 03 (year 3): Suggested Careers or Jobs for People with NLD

Have you ever wondered what kind of career or job is good and easy for someone with NLD or a Nuerodivergent? In my opinion, a slow to moderately paced job, one with low to medium demands and one where you can be yourself is the right job for a ND.

Episode 02 (year 3): NLD and Radical Acceptance

Have you ever had to accept that things won’t change even though you want them to? I know that people will have to radically accept different things in their life. For me, it was with my sexual abuse discourse in my family.

Episode 52 (year 2): The Invisibility and Visibility of NLD and Other LDs

Two years ago I created this podcast!

Have you ever felt like you are invisible? Have you felt not completely understood by others? Or dismissed by others because they don’t get what your learning disabilities mean to you, or how it has affected your life? I have felt invisible because of having NLD, being sexually abused, and having a chronic migraine condition. I have felt this because I don’t have anyone that I can talk to in person about my challenges.

The next support group is tomorrow, July 16th from 10 am-11:30 am (PT).

Episode 48 (year 2): Neurodivergent (ND) Brains vs. Neurotypical (NT) Ones

Have you ever wondered how your brain is different from an NT because you are Neurodiverse? I definitely have. My brain is wired differently so I think in different ways than NTs do. And I tend to overthink things and make them bigger, more difficult than necessary. I have gotten better at not having them bug me as much though because that doesn't do any good.

My first two happened three years ago when I was still getting used to driving with NLD. And the most recent one happened this year.
