The Articulate Autistic: Navigating Neurodivergent Misunderstandings
Manage episode 459030695 series 2981736
In this episode of Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Jaime Heidel(she/her), author of What Did I Do Wrong?. Her groundbreaking book is a must-read for anyone looking to better understand and connect with the neurodivergent people in their lives.
Jaime shared powerful insights on communication, unmasking, and the unique strengths neurodivergent individuals bring to relationships, workplaces, and beyond. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or have loved ones who are, this conversation will leave you with practical tools and a deeper sense of empathy.
💬 Want to take it further? Jaime offers private consultations to help translate neurodivergent and neurotypical communication, making her a vital resource for families, educators, and employers alike.
