This week on The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan and Simon are joined by the show's in-house therapist and Mindful Mondays host Ashley Dupuy for four Reddit stories exploring therapy, parenting, disability, neurodivergence and the complicated line between support and autonomy.First, a father questions why his teenage daughter needs to continue therapy when, in his eyes, she should have already dealt with her trauma. The conversation explores why healing doesn't work to somebody else's timetable, the importance of trusting the therapeutic process, and what happens when financial concerns collide with a young person asking for help.Then, a parent wonders whether speech therapy is really worth paying for when their fast-talking nine-year-old can technically be understood. Jordan, Simon and Ashley discuss communication differences, the danger of defining support purely around whether other people find someone inconvenient, and why “there's nothing wrong with her” doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing she could benefit from support with.The third story introduces a much more complicated question: can too much support hold a neurodivergent child back? A parent declines an IEP for their six-year-old autistic daughter after feeling that her previous school was “coddling” her. The discussion looks at independence versus accommodation, learned helplessness, individualised support, parental fear about the future and why the answer doesn't have to be either support them with everything or make them cope alone. Finally, the conversation turns to a raw TrueOffMyChest post from a parent who loves her significantly disabled son but hates what their lives have become. It opens up a difficult discussion around caregiver exhaustion, grief, resentment, guilt and the uncomfortable feelings parents and carers may experience but feel they are never allowed to say aloud. Plus, Ashley introduces From Mask to Map, her new eight-week programme exploring late neurodivergent discovery, identity, masking, nervous-system regulation and finding out who you are underneath the roles you've learned to play. https://www.integrativeiom.co.uk/from-mask-to-map*The stories discussed in this episode are public Reddit posts. Titles may be shortened for readability, and all opinions expressed are those of the original posters.• AITA for telling my daughter to limit her therapy sessions• AITA for not wanting to waste money on speech therapy for my daughter• AITA for declining an IEP for my child?• My son has significant disabilities, and I hate that this is my lifeOur Sponsors:

As Co-Founder and Director of Actual Size Los Angeles, Siegel championed contemporary art and audience engagement for over a decade. In addition, she worked in museum education and administration at multiple art, music, and culture institutions in Los Angeles. Michael Flechtner [https://www.flektro.com/index] is a neon artist based in Los Angeles, employing his mastery of three-dimensional sculpture, employment of visual puns, and his mentorship of future generations of neon benders. Born in Tiffin, Ohio, Flechtner had an early interest in colored light and electronics while a Bachelors of Fine Art student at Columbus College of Art and Design and during his Masters of Fine Art studies at Wichita State University. In 1991 Flechtner presented his first solo exhibition at MONA. The exhibition was titled Ecce Signum, Latin for “Behold the Sign.” The title was emblematic of the artist's play with a medium often associated with signage as well as his interest in symbols. Now, thirty-four years later, the title for his follow-up exhibition translates as “Behold the Craftsman.” The title serves as a testament to the simultaneous humility and staggering skill neon craftspeople cultivate in order to create their works. Flechtner's best-known public work in Los Angeles is the Neon Aquarium at Olympic and Sawtelle completed in 1998. In 1999 he became a J. Paul Getty Trust Fund Fellow. He was commissioned by the US Postal Service in 2011 to design a stamp for the Forever series: the Celebrate! Stamp. The original work of art is held in the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.

Is your "best employee" constantly saving the day—or helping create the problems they keep solving? In many businesses the people who get the most praise rescue angry customers, cover missed shifts, fix broken systems, stay late, and pull projects back from the edge. But when leaders reward only heroic reactions, they can create a workplace where crisis management gets noticed and prevention gets ignored. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard explain why the most valuable employee may not be the person who puts out the biggest fires. It may be the person whose systems, training, documentation, and foresight prevent those fires from starting.

The show discusses the ever changing forecast for Edouard, Reasons to Celebrate, Jet Pack Racing coming to Texas, a sewage explosion in the Arkansas river, and more.

What Dogs Teach Us About Love (And How to "People" Better) with Dr. Chris Blazina [caption id="attachment_17241" align="alignleft" width="300"] Good Dogs & Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love[/caption] Why is it that we can purely love our dogs but often struggle to show that same grace to other humans? In this deeply insightful episode of Pure Dog Talk, host Laura Reeves sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Chris Blazina to discuss his latest book, Good Dogs and Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love. They explore the psychology behind our canine connections, why Sigmund Freud was a massive "dog person," and how the stress we carry travels straight "down the leash" to our canine companions. From scientific phenomena like the Left Gaze Bias to actionable advice on how to "people better," this episode is a guide to letting your guard down, repairing relationships, and allowing dogs to "love us into being."

What can Ferris Bueller teach us about letting go of the plan and actually enjoying the moment we're in?In the first episode of The Still Growing Up Film Club, Cece Fanning revisits the 1986 coming-of-age classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the lessons hidden inside one unforgettable day of playing hooky.Through Ferris, Cameron and Sloane's adventure across Chicago, Cece explores spontaneity, friendship, anxiety, masking and the pressure we can put on ourselves to make everything go according to plan. From Ferris's determination to make the day count to Cameron learning to confront his fear, the film offers a reminder that growing up sometimes means taking a chance, finding your people and accepting that life can still be meaningful when it goes off script.For a neurodivergent brain that loves schedules and certainty, perhaps Ferris has something particularly useful to teach us: leave a little room for the unexpected.Follow Cece:

We please. We rescue. We perform. We hold everything together - until sometimes we disappear or reach for escape.But what if these familiar responses are not fixed identities? What if they are intelligent adaptations: ways we learned to secure safety, belonging, continuity or relief?Following last week's introduction to From Mask to Map, Ashley explores the Nine Adaptation Patterns at the heart of this developing body of work: the Pleaser, Rescuer, Performer, Chameleon, Strong One, Perfectionist, Controller, Vanisher and Escaper.Moving through the different ways we reach towards belonging, attempt to hold ourselves and the world together, or create distance from overwhelming intensity, Ashley considers the protective purpose, genuine strengths and present-day costs carried within each pattern.These are not diagnoses, personality types or nine new boxes in which to place ourselves. With careful attention to Neurodivergent Nuance, Ashley explores why the behaviour alone cannot reveal the whole pattern. Structure may be an essential accommodation rather than control. Solitude may be restoration rather than disappearance. Social fluency may be joyful expression rather than compulsory performance. What matters is the job the behaviour is performing, the freedom we have around it and the price we may now be paying.Ashley also returns to the work of Jungian analyst Dr James Hollis and his question of what, beyond survival, may be seeking expression through us as meaning and purpose.Through recollection, Shakespeare's “ravelled sleave of care” and the image of the Weaver, the episode becomes an invitation to gather every thread of our experience without mistaking any single pattern for the whole design.The episode closes with a brief guided practice, The Weaver and the Thread.The complete guided exploration of the Nine Adaptation Patterns - including discovering your own configuration and mapping the way forward - will be exclusive to the founding From Mask to Map group coaching and hypnotherapy cohort beginning on 15 September.

This week I'm pausing to honor, grieve, and celebrate one of the most beautiful souls to ever walk this earth — Dolly Parton. I share what I tuned into energetically around Dolly in the time after her husband Carl Dean passed — and what I genuinely felt happening in her heart. We talk about what it means to die of a broken heart, the very real spiritual and physical truth of it, and the incredible love story between Dolly and Carl that spanned more than fifty years. From there, we move into pure celebration — because my God, did that woman live. I'm walking through some of my favorite Dolly quotes that stopped me in my tracks, made me laugh out loud, and honestly brought me to tears. Because hidden inside her humor and her sparkle was some of the deepest wisdom I've ever come across. This one is equal parts grief and joy — just like Dolly herself. What We Cover What Julie tuned into energetically in Dolly's heart after Carl Dean passed away The very real truth that we can die of a broken heart — and a personal story that confirms it Carl Dean's quotes celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary that will melt you The spiritual truth of free will at the end of our lives Why some souls simply don't have the energy to rebuild — and why that's okay How to work at being happy — not just hoping it arrives Dolly's quotes on hope, creativity, faith, and being too much for some people What Julie believes Dolly is doing on the Other Side right now Why highly sensitive, empathic people will feel this episode deep in their bones Dolly Quotes from This Episode "We all need to have hope that there's something bigger than we are. Even if I knew for a fact that there was no God, I'd still believe." "I do the best I can every day and I'm going to enjoy my life. Some people work at being miserable. I work at being happy." "I love getting on a big writing binge and staying up a couple of days working on a song and knowing at the end of those two or three days that I've created something that was never in the world before."

In this week's Reddit Stories episode, Jordan and Simon unpack another selection of dilemmas involving autism, ADHD, relationships and the realities of being neurodivergent.They begin with a parent who invites an entire class to her son's birthday party — except for one autistic child. Jordan and Simon discuss exclusion, ableism, reasonable accommodations and the lasting impact of being the child who is always left out.Next, they explore another neurodivergent dilemma and the assumptions people make about behaviour, asking where personal responsibility ends and understanding someone's disability begins.The conversation then turns to the complicated ways neurodivergent traits can be interpreted by the people around us, including executive dysfunction, forgetfulness and behaviours that can easily be mistaken for laziness or a lack of care.Finally, a woman takes to Reddit to describe her husband as stupid, prompting a discussion about ADHD, dyslexia, executive dysfunction, relationships, resentment and what happens when the person you love doesn't understand the way your brain works.*The stories discussed in this episode are public Reddit posts. Titles may be shortened for readability, and all opinions expressed are those of the original posters.• AITA for inviting my sons entire class except for one child because of his autism?• AITA for disagreeing with my daughter's ADHD diagnosis?• My speech disability has ruined my life and I think I will never amount to anything.• My husband is so dumb and I think I need to leave him because of itOur Sponsors:

Torri's down to her last drinking friend (RIP, she's pregnant now), and it's got her and Daffnee spiraling into a much bigger conversation about alcohol. They trace their drinking history all the way back to their first sips (Daffnee's Mexican household where a Corona at dinner was normal, Torri's Wisconsin upbringing where getting a DUI barely raises an eyebrow),  through the reckless college years, the family patterns that shaped how they drink now, and the health reasons that eventually changed everything for both of them. They get real about sober curiosity, what it's like loving someone who can't drink safely, mocktails (Torri has opinions), and how to actually celebrate a big moment when the champagne isn't on the table anymore. Funny, honest, and probably going to make you think differently about your own next round.

How does DIRFloortime® meet autistic needs in a neurodiversity-affirming way?In this third episode of the Rethinking Autism Therapy mini-series, Daria Brown is joined by autistic self-advocate, researcher, and ICDL Board President Dr. Emile Gouws to explore how the DIR® model aligns with autistic lived experience and why relationships, respect, and understanding are essential for meaningful development.Drawing on his own experiences growing up as a nonspeaking autistic child, Emile shares the challenges of being viewed through a medical-model lens, the trauma of compliance-based interventions, and the profound impact of finally being seen, understood, and supported through a relationship-based approach. Together, Daria and Emile discuss how DIRFloortime® differs from approaches focused on normalization by emphasizing individual differences, emotional development, authentic communication, and connection.The conversation highlights how autistic development may look different from neurotypical development, why practitioners must be mindful of ableist assumptions, and how play, co-regulation, and meaningful relationships create the conditions for growth. They also explore the role of neurodiversity, self-advocacy, sensory differences, and the Double Empathy Problem in shaping a more affirming understanding of autism.Learn more:

In this episode of Two Mics, No Masking, Katie Scott and Jenna Goldstein are joined by Rabbi Shoshana Meira Friedman, founder of the PDA Safe Circle, to explore what happens when we stop trying to fit ourselves into systems that were never designed for us.Together they discuss nervous system literacy, questioning the default blueprints we've inherited, and what it means to build a life that is sustainable, authentic, and aligned with who we are. Rather than asking how we can adapt to existing expectations, Katie, Jenna, and Shoshana explore how we can create lives that genuinely work for us.

https://teachhoops.com/ How quickly can one basketball game become an entire story in an athlete's mind? A player has a great opening night and thinks, “This is finally my year.” Another struggles and immediately thinks, “Here we go again.” A player gets fewer minutes than expected and decides the coach no longer believes in them. A teammate has a breakout game and suddenly someone else begins wondering whether they are falling behind. In this episode, Coach Collins explores one of the most important mental-performance lessons athletes and coaches can learn: one game is evidence, not a conclusion. The problem is not that athletes have emotions after competition. That is completely normal. The problem begins when those emotions start creating conclusions that the available evidence does not actually support. One poor shooting night becomes “I'm not a good shooter.” One turnover becomes “I can't handle pressure.” One change in playing time becomes “Coach doesn't trust me.” Coach Collins explains why athletes need to learn the difference between what actually happened and the story they are telling themselves about what happened. Those are two very different things. This episode introduces a simple method athletes can use following games. Create two lists. On the first, write only the facts of the performance: minutes played, shots taken, defensive communication, turnovers, effort, body language, and specific moments. On the second, write the interpretations your mind immediately wants to create. Seeing those two lists next to each other can be powerful. The first contains evidence. The second contains a story. Coach Collins also challenges athletes to approach performance more like scientists. Good scientists do not perform one experiment and immediately announce a conclusion. They gather information, look for patterns, remain curious, make adjustments, and continue testing. Athletes can do the same thing. Instead of asking, “What does this performance say about me?” ask, “What is this performance teaching me?” One question pushes athletes toward identity and judgment. The other pushes them toward curiosity, development, and growth. And this lesson matters after great games too. Athletes can become just as trapped by positive conclusions as negative ones. One great performance does not mean everything is solved. Celebrate it, enjoy it, and then study what created it so those behaviors can be repeated. For coaches, the message is equally important. Our reactions help determine the story athletes attach to their performances. Correct mistakes. Hold standards. Teach the game. But do not allow one performance to become an athlete's identity. A season is long. Roles change. Players develop. Confidence moves up and down. There will be great nights and difficult ones. The athletes who continue to improve are usually the ones who remain curious long enough to learn from all of them. One performance should never tell an athlete who they are. It should tell them what they can learn next. basketball coaching, basketball leadership, mental performance, athlete mindset, sports psychology, coaching athletes, basketball confidence, handling bad games, athlete self-awareness, player development, basketball mental toughness, performance anxiety, overcoming mistakes, basketball season, coaching confidence, athlete identity, growth mindset, basketball coaches, high school basketball, youth basketball coaching, player confidence, learning from failure, coaching mistakes, sports performance, basketball podcast, TeachHoops Keywords Learn more about your ad choices.

Through personal examples of memory loss, executive dysfunction, shutdowns, meltdowns, speech difficulties and skill regression, she examines how hormonal changes can amplify existing neurodivergent traits and create challenges that extend far beyond typical descriptions of brain fog.Sam discusses autistic burnout, involuntary unmasking, sensory overwhelm, loss of independence, and the fear that accompanies sudden changes in cognition and identity. She also shares some of the strategies, accommodations and treatments that have helped her navigate this difficult period.For many listeners, this episode may provide language for experiences that have previously felt impossible to explain.Content Warning: This episode includes frank discussion of mental health crisis and suicidal thoughts, alongside experiences of autistic burnout, medical care, and menopause.

Can resilience become the very thing that keeps us in difficult situations longer than we should stay? In this episode of Becoming Unshakeable, I speak with James Ferguson, an award-winning Culture Pioneer and respected voice in workplace culture. James shares how losing jobs, working under poor leaders, and facing an aggressive cancer treatment shaped the way he thinks about leadership, perspective, and perseverance. During his treatment, a doctor warned James that the chemotherapy could "remove the glue" holding him together. James made a personal decision that it would not remove his glue. That experience later became a powerful leadership analogy: every day, our words, actions, and decisions either strengthen or weaken the glue holding a workplace culture together. James also speaks candidly about the downside of being highly resilient. When you pride yourself on overcoming hardship, you can remain under harmful leadership, expect others to recover as quickly as you do, and forget that people need compassion as well as encouragement. Our conversation is a reminder that becoming unshakeable does not mean making every decision correctly or pushing through every situation alone. It means examining what an experience is teaching us, recognizing when something must change, and allowing other people to face adversity in their own way. Has resilience ever helped you survive a difficult season while also keeping you there longer than was healthy? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts.  

Hockey is an exciting game played on ice with two teams trying to score goals. Players wear skates and use sticks to hit a small rubber puck into the other team's net. The game is fast-paced, with players zooming across the ice, passing the puck, and shooting it towards the goal. Hockey started a long time ago in Canada and has become popular all around the world. The players wear special protective gear like helmets and pads to stay safe while playing. Hockey is not only a fun sport to watch but also teaches teamwork, strategy, and skill.
