Episode 15 (year 4): Neurodivergence and Being Bullied

Have you ever been bullied physically or online because of being neurodivergent, a nerd, OCDer?  Or have you been name called, nicknamed or been the receiver of a slur? Or worse, are you your own bully because you think you are a burden to others? Today’s episode is inspired by some articles that I read recently and feelings that I’ve been wrestling or struggling with over my whole life since I was diagnosed as NVLDer, PTSDer, and chronic migraine warrior.
