When you hear the words Alzheimer's disease, what do you think of? The truth is, the picture most of us have of the disease is incomplete.

The Rethinking Alzheimer's Disease Podcast is an engaging, narrative-style podcast miniseries for those curious or motivated to learn about Alzheimer’s disease.

Write Your Own Friendship Manual: Building Authentic Relationships While Neurodivergent with Lee Hopkins

Have you ever felt like everyone but you received some kind of friend-making manual?
Today’s guest, Lee Hopkins, is a social connections and business culture coach and CEO of Patterns of Possibility – but his journey to this work started with his own decades-long struggle.
In this episode, Lee shares about navigating friendship after recently learning that he has autism, and how this revelation has impacted his relationships with friends, family, and ultimately, his way of life.
Lee says what’s made all the difference for him in this journey of self-discovery has been boundaries, conscious conversations, and knowing himself. Once he stopped trying to fit into relationships that required him to mask who he was, it opened him up to the kinds of connection that actually nourished him.
If you're feeling stuck in surface level relationships or tired of feeling like you're always performing to be accepted, then maybe it's time to get curious about what authentic connection looks like for you.
In this episode you’ll hear about:
- Lee’s life-long struggle with making friends and how he discovered he had autism later in life through TikTok
- Common misconceptions about autism and how this diagnosis impacted how he communicated with the people around him
- The importance in understanding the communication gap between neurodivergent and neurotypical people
- Mentors, intentional conversations, and why we all need to stop comparing our relationships with other people’s
