Episode 15 (year 5): Burnout, Neurodiversity, and Navigating NLD

Today's episode focuses on burnout and being neurodiverse, drawing from the host's personal experience with chronic migraines and NLD (Nonverbal Learning Disorder). The host acknowledges the shared struggles of neurodiverse individuals, many of whom also face chronic pain. The episode will include insights from articles as well as personal experiences to explore the topic.

Today’s episode will be about burnout and being neurodiverse. I experience a lot of this because of having chronic migraines along with NLD. I also know that I’m not the only one who does. I have many friends who are neurodiverse and have chronic pain conditions too. I’ll use some articles to support this episode and my own experience with this too.

Episode 10 (year 5): NLD, ND and Being a Homeowner

Many neurodivergents have a hard time being on their own and independent because of it being hard to be independent without help from your family. I work for my parents and have for four years. And have lived with them for 6 years so I get it. But I’m fortunate to have had help from my family to get my own first place!

Episode 6 (year 5): How Many Educators and Professionals Are Neurodiverse or Know Someone Who Is?

How many doctors, teachers, academic counselors and tutors are neurodiverse? Or know someone who is neurodiverse?

The topic discusses how many professionals, like doctors, teachers, and tutors, are neurodiverse or know someone who is. It suggests that if more doctors understood neurodiversity, they could better address challenges related to chronic pain, medication effectiveness, weight management, and self-care. The text highlights that neurodiverse individuals face different challenges than neurotypicals, and professionals who recognize this could offer more effective and compassionate care.

Episode 25 (Year 4): Why Being a ND and Having Chronic Pain is a Blessing in Disguise

What is, how is and why is beautiful or a blessing in disguise? Why is it a good thing to be authentically you and not mask your neurodiversity? Why you shouldn’t mask your neurodiversity?

What is, how is and why is beautiful or a blessing in disguise? Why is it a good thing to be authentically you and not mask your neurodiversity? Why you shouldn’t mask your neurodiversity?

I’ve always had a difficult time being myself especially around people that don’t know much about me. I usually don’t hid the challenges that my learning difference and chronic migraine conditions present to my close friends and family because they know what it is like for me since they live with me and have known me for a while.
