Episode 15 (year 3): NLD and Feeling Empty or Lonely
Do you ever feel lonely or empty inside because you must keep trying so hard to appear normal in society due to learning challenges in your life? I have recently felt this way because all my friends are already in relationships with significant others and are married now. I am happy for my friends that this is true for them but they have had an easier time with relationships than I have because they are neurotypical.

Episode 13 (year 3): Body insecurities, NLD, and Sexual Abuse
Have you ever had body insecurities because of being sexually abused or having a learning challenge? Or because of both? For me, I would yes to the second question and add that it’s hard for me to lose weight because of my chronic migraine (sometimes episodic) condition. There are some reasons I can think of why NLD, sexual abuse, and chronic migraines make it harder for me to lose weight.

Episode 12 (year 3): The Challenges That Nuerodivergents Have When Trying to Understand Politics and The Voting Process
Have you ever had challenges voting because of your lack of knowledge of politics? Not knowing exactly how politics and voting work? Or because your mind tends to go too black and white when you are thinking about the politics of things? I know for me it was hard to vote when I was 18 because I didn’t know much about politics. I didn’t know how much effect voting can take on society. I also didn’t know how democratic I was or if I was liberal.

Episode 10 (year 3): Being an Advocate for Yourself at Work, School and in Personal Life
Have you ever had difficulty advocating for yourself in school, work, or your personal life because you are neurodivergent? I had experienced this many times in my life, especially when I wasn’t working for my parents or trying to describe why I needed extra help from a professor in college. The accommodation programs I used in college for NLD were: Kurizewhiel 3000, Sonnocent, and Audionotaker.

Episode 04 (year 3): What It Is Feels Like Being a ND in a NT World
Have you ever felt alone, lost, or like no one understands you because you’re different from them? Today I want to talk about how it’s hard for people like me who have learning challenges to live in a world that wasn’t built for us. This world was built for Nureotypicals, not neurodivergents. This fact makes it hard for us to function and get through the everyday challenges of life, especially if you have something that is invisible like NLD, ASD, ADHD, Anxiety, chronic pain, etc.
The next support group is on August 20th from 10 am-11:30 am (PT).
