Podcasts about neurodiverse

Today, I welcome back Rev. Jenilee Goodwin. On a previous show, Jenilee shared the journey of being on the mission field and their neurodiverse family journey in missions. A lot has happened in her marriage and family journey since then. Today, we talk about neurodiverse marriage and missions as well as abuse and handling that under the lens of being in ministry. About Our Guest:Rev. Jenilee GoodwinProfessional Life Coach As a certified professional life coach (ICCI), a certified autism coach (NCDD), and an ordained minister (AG), Jenilee has over 20 years of career ministry experience. Serving in stateside churches and overseas missions, Jenilee brings lived experience, problem-solving skills, compassionate support, and creativity into each coaching session. Jenilee asks hard questions while listening, guiding, and coaching clients in their unique life situations. Jenilee is trained in the Equipping Profile, a personal development coaching tool that helps discover growth points and possible barriers to growth. Through one-on-one and group coaching, Jenilee uses the Equipping Profile, book studies, and even some homework to establish personal development plans, helping clients move forward healthily. With many in her immediate family on the autism spectrum, Jenilee has a special call and place in her heart for moms of kids on the spectrum and for NT wives going through the difficulties of ND marriages. Even more specifically, I have a passion for these women who are also in full-time ministry or missions. There are very few places to share the full story. In coaching with Jenilee, you can share every single page of the story. In addition to the above skills, Jenilee loves reading, writing, coffee, going for walks, and watching history documentaries.You can connect with Jenilee daily on Instagram @jenileerachel or through her website, jenileerachel.com

Can a neurodiverse relationship still see change when only one partner works on it? What if you've tried everything, but nothing seems to stick? In Part 2 of this roundtable discussion, Jodi and the panel of leading neurodiversity professionals return to explore how coaching (versus therapy), nervous system regulation, and identifying options can help couples shift out of stuck patterns—even when one partner isn't engaged in the work. If you're trying to decide whether to stay, leave, or redefine what being together looks like, this conversation offers real-life strategies, hope, and clarity.

Today, Dr. Stephanie talks to Dan of the Aspie World! Are we still allowed to use the term 'Aspie'? Dan talks us through his autism identification and how that led him to build one of the first platforms on social media about adult autism.Disclaimer: Today is not a faith-based podcast, but exploring different expressions of Adult Autism/Asperger's from those with lived experiences! You will hear Dan's own worldview in self-expression.About our Guest in his own words:Embracing Neurodiversity: My Journey with Autism and ADHD ✨By Daniel M. Jones - The Aspie WorldHello friends,I want to share something deeply personal—something that completely shifted the trajectory of my life.At 26, I received a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome (now Autism Spectrum Disorder), along with ADHD, OCD, and Dyslexia. That moment wasn't about becoming someone new; it was about finally understanding who I always was.For years, I silently battled confusion, overwhelm, and social exhaustion. Masking my discomfort to "fit in" affected my mental and emotional health deeply.A Diagnosis Isn't a Label—It's a Lens.It provided clarity, showing me that I'm not broken; I'm wired differently. Discovering neurodiversity helped me celebrate my differences and recognize my strengths—creativity, hyperfocus, analytical thinking—as true assets.This revelation inspired me to start The Aspie World, supporting thousands globally in navigating neurodivergent journeys. Our differences drive innovation, empathy, and inclusion, making humanity richer.Remember, your diagnosis is just the beginning of a beautiful, empowered chapter. You are capable, valuable, and not alone.Thank you for joining this journey.With gratitude, Daniel M.

Sara Donnelly, a head teacher of 14 years, shares why she's leaving education leadership after witnessing the system repeatedly fail neurodivergent children, in particular, girls. We also delve into why:• Girls with neurodiversity are often missed because they present differently than the stereotypical profile• Signs to watch for in autistic girls include subtle stimming, hypervigilance, and struggling to maintain (not make) friendships• Many professionals still believe myths like "she can't be autistic because she makes eye contact" or "she has friends"• Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) should be addressed by fixing the environment, not the child• Creative solutions like normalising ear defenders for everyone can help neurodivergent children without singling them out• The education system needs radical reform: smaller class sizes, less testing, and personalized learningJoin our private WhatsApp community to connect with other parents navigating their neurodiverse journey.www.sendparenting.com

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     What you can do if you're wondering: “Is my kid's ADHD diagnosis real or do I have an active 10-year-old kid?” How to evaluate the accuracy of a diagnosis and what steps to take if you're unsure or want a second opinion. Practical tools you can use to support your child—diagnosis or not. Strategies for becoming more aligned with your partner on how to handle parenting challenges and support your child's needs. What is a behavioral observation tracker, and how it can help you decide which interventions would be most helpful to use.

Have a Do Nothing Day Topic:The guys dive into the complex challenge of mental rest and the idea of having a “do nothing” day. What does it mean to truly rest, especially for neurodiverse men whose minds rarely stop racing? Main Themes & Takeaways:• Rest vs. Productivity:Many participants admit that even when given free time, they struggle to stop doing. Rest often becomes just another task to accomplish.• Making Rest Intentional:Some found that designating rest as a “task” (e.g., the duty of Sabbath or the ministry of presence) helps them engage more fully in non-productive activities without guilt.• Manual Tasks as Restful:Simple, repetitive manual labor (such as weeding, doing dishes, or cutting grass) often provides enough stimulation to keep the body occupied and allow the mind to slow down.• Rest Styles Are Individual:The conversation affirmed that rest is highly personal—some find rest in watching sports or shows, while others find it through reading or physical exercise. What's restful to one (e.g., pulling weeds) can feel like torture to another.• Mental Stillness Is Harder Than Physical Stillness:Most of the men agreed that while they can stop moving, stopping their minds from constantly thinking or solving problems is a much harder task.• Neurodiversity and Rest:The group highlighted how neurodivergent wiring affects the experience of rest. ADHD traits, pathological demand avoidance, and autism spectrum traits influence how they pursue or avoid downtime.• The Role of Family Systems:The guys acknowledged the need to consider how one's version of rest fits into the broader family context. Rest shouldn't disrupt the connection with spouses or children.• Sabbath Framed as Task and Discipline:Rest, especially in a spiritual context, is seen not as laziness but as obedience, modeled after God's rest on the seventh day. It may take discipline to actually stop. Humor & Insight:From references to Phineas and Ferb's “Do Nothing Day” to humorous yet poignant nods to North Korean labor camps (as a metaphor for tasks they dislike), the episode strikes a balance between depth and levity. Closing Reflection:True rest might not be inactivity—it might be freedom from expectations. For these men, a restful day often still includes accomplishments, but they come without pressure or obligation.

Growing up in the 70s, Elaine was given mixed messaging regarding her expected future role as a woman. As an adult, it didn't take long before she was in full pursuit of trying to change the world, one person at a time. After becoming a mom, Elaine found herself needing to step aside from political activism to focus more on her children, whom she realized struggled more than she expected. With a fiery passion and deep desire to help others, Elaine began to direct her efforts towards helping parents of neurodiverse children, in tangible and compelling ways. Co-founding Impact Parents was the result of a major mindset shift and earning her coaching certification—both shaped by a decade of deep personal challenges in her parenting journey. On today's Success is Subjective episode, Elaine Taylor- Klaus explains to listeners the powerful work she is doing to make a tremendous impact on the neurodiverse community at large. She also infuses some of the most hopeful encouragement and advice for parents who are both grieving their child's life outcomes and working overtime as they try to push their child to succeed in the same ways as their neurotypical peers. If you're facing challenges in your parenting journey, this episode offers encouragement and insight you won't want to miss. Elaine's Resources:Website: Impact Parents IG: @ImpactParentsYouTube: ImpactParentsParenting with Impact Podcast Back On Track Virtual Summit Connect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #YoungAdults #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #StudentMentalHealth #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #SelfEsteem #ParentingAdvice #ParentingTeens #SuccessfullAdults #RaisingComplexKids #ParentCoaching #ImpactParents #BackOnTrackSummit

Have you been taught that all emotions except joy are bad?

REPLAY: Have you ever been around a dog who doesn't “dog” like other dogs?  Maybe you've experienced a dog who is reactive or has separation anxiety or a noise-phobia? Sharon Vincuilla and I explore how dogs (and people!) can experience the world differently and how neurodiversity shows up in a dog's behavior.  And Sharon has experienced this first-hand with her dog, Muggins! Sharon found that life with Muggins was even triggering her own trauma.  Seemingly ordinary life events like walking the dog or having a friend stop by her house would turn into stressful ordeals with Muggins. Leaning on her work as both a dog trainer and an Occupational Therapist, Sharon shares with us the strategies she developed that allow both her and Muggins to thrive.  And she teaches us strategies we can incorporate into our lives with our dogs who might “dog” a little differently.

In this insightful episode of Neurodiverse Christian Couples, hosts Stephanie and Dan welcome Ed Khouri, President of Equipping Hearts for the Harvest and author of "Becoming a Face of Grace." Together, they explore the crucial interplay between grace and joy, clarifying how genuine grace—being seen as special and favored without earning it—naturally leads to joy, the gladness of being together. Can you have grace AND have boundaries? What about the phrase, "Just give me grace." The conversation tackles deep relational issues common in neurodiverse marriages, such as navigating attachment pain, understanding the differences between sin, transgression, and iniquity, and developing effective boundaries without enabling harmful behavior. Ed emphasizes practical strategies for couples to build emotional capacity and relational resilience, including shared quieting exercises and storytelling techniques aimed at fostering mutual joy and appreciation. Listeners will find hope and practical guidance for overcoming challenges related to executive functioning, emotional regulation, and relational misunderstandings.

Today, Dr. Stephanie talks to Dan of the Aspie World! Are we still allowed to say Aspie? Dan talks us through his autism identification and how that led him to build one of the first platforms on social media about adult autism.Hello friends,I want to share something deeply personal—something that completely shifted the trajectory of my life.At 26, I received a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome (now Autism Spectrum Disorder), along with ADHD, OCD, and Dyslexia. That moment wasn't about becoming someone new; it was about finally understanding who I always was.For years, I silently battled confusion, overwhelm, and social exhaustion. Masking my discomfort to "fit in" affected my mental and emotional health deeply.A Diagnosis Isn't a Label—It's a Lens.It provided clarity, showing me that I'm not broken; I'm wired differently. Discovering neurodiversity helped me celebrate my differences and recognize my strengths—creativity, hyperfocus, analytical thinking—as true assets.This revelation inspired me to start The Aspie World, supporting thousands globally in navigating neurodivergent journeys. Our differences drive innovation, empathy, and inclusion, making humanity richer.Remember, your diagnosis is just the beginning of a beautiful, empowered chapter. You are capable, valuable, and not alone.Thank you for joining this journey.With gratitude,Daniel M.

In this sequel podcast to "How You Lose Your Self in Neurodiverse Marriages, Elizabeth and Kathleen share how to restore your sense of self. Both are married to men with Asperger's Syndrome and are the founders of "My Aspie and Me," a private Facebook group for Christian women. They hear women in their group say that they no longer recognize themselves and don't know who they are. Both also experienced a loss of themselves in their marriages. In this group, they provide classes and posts to guide the women on how to respond differently to their marriage challenges by prioritizing their own mental, relational, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. This is a timely topic given the awareness of more women that the problems they have been dealing with in their painful and difficult marriages are Asperger's. Once they realize this, they need to be given the tools and ideas to respond differently to their husbands and to intentionally restore their sense of self to create a better life for themselves. My Aspie and Me private Facebook group is specifically designed for Christian women. It provides relational, marital, personal, and spiritual help for women married to neurodiverse men with Asperger's Syndrome.

A fresh perspective for the overwhelmed motherWelcome, dear listener, to another honest and heartfelt episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast.Today, I'm joined by the remarkable Stacey Erin — Social Worker, Therapist, Coach and a fiercely loving mother who works with families navigating the social and emotional wellbeing of neurodivergent children. With deep compassion and no-nonsense wisdom, Stacey names the invisible weight so many mothers carry — and offers both fierce truth and tender support in return.We talk about:Why it's not your fault — how Stacey powerfully names the systemic failures that leave mothers unsupported, and why recognising this truth can be deeply healing.Permission and grief in motherhood — the unseen grief that comes with letting go of the motherhood ideals we imagined, and how simple words of validation can make all the difference.The power of boundaries and micro-moments — from closing the bathroom door to dancing in the hallway, Stacey shares small, sustainable acts of self-connection for overwhelmed mums.Reclaiming the feminine — exploring how modern motherhood is steeped in ‘masculine doing' and how we might return to being, feeling, and honouring our own rhythms.Finding your village — why it's vital to connect with other parents of neurodivergent children, and how Stacey is creating online spaces for shared understanding and laughter through the hard.Take what you need from this conversation and pass it on — because when one mum feels seen, we all move closer to collective healing. If this episode speaks to you, please share it with your people so more mothers can feel supported, validated, and reminded they are not alone.ABOUT STACEY ERIN:Stacey Erin is a Social Worker, Therapist, Counsellor and Coach for mums, children and adolescents aged 3–16 years.

In this episode, I'm joined by cognitive psychologist and ADHD expert Eliza Barach to explore the brain-based differences that drive many of the challenges (and strengths!) that come with ADHD.   Together we cover:   The neuroscience of an ADHD brain and why having this basic knowledge can be so impactful for your parenting! How understanding the roles of dopamine and norepinephrine are important aspects of understanding your child (or yourself!) with ADHD. Why people with ADHD are more vulnerable to all forms of addictions. And while our culture rewards some addictive behaviors (like workaholism) while condemning others, both can have negative impacts on your mental health. How to make transitions easier for your child with ADHD. (Want to learn more about this topic? Check out episode 295. How can I get my child with ADHD go from one activity to the next without a fight?) Specific and real-life strategies parents can implement to add more stimulation to boring tasks that will decrease the amount of fights and power struggles between you and your child. Why kids with ADHD are so prone to meltdowns and how pointing out the logic to your child in these hot moments can help lay the foundation for more self-regulation in the future. (But, only if you do so in the "right" way.) Activating your child's Task Positive Network can be regulating for the nervous system—what parents can do to get this part of your child's brain to turn on. The failing of the system for diagnosis of ADHD, especially in girls and marginalized communities, and why getting a diagnosis is so vital for allowing proper support for a person's unique strengths and challenges.  If you've ever wondered whether your child might have ADHD, felt unsure how to support them without constant conflict, or simply wanted to better understand their needs, this episode is packed with clarity, compassion, and expert insights you can put into practice right away.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST: https://www.neural-revolution.com/   ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND RESOURCES:

This month is focused on neuroscience and your neurodiverse marriage! This entire month, we have elements brought in from LifeModel Works, Deeper Walk Ministries & Thrive Trainings, and those who are ministry partner friends! Today is Amy H. Glazer.Our topic begins with Fear Bonds, and we took some questions that you, the listeners, had on this that include:How to reduce the intensity of fear bonds when in a relationship that has ongoing trauma or reminders of the fear bonds?   How do you process an emotion without amplifying it? When I hear "return to joy," it feels like "don't feel your feelings - just be happy", and I know that is not what you are saying, but what do I do with my feelings?  How do we identify fear bonds in our close relationships, which we are accustomed to that pattern?  Authenticity and connection- can you achieve that with someone you have had a fear bond with? Can a fear-bonded person really turn to a joy or love bond? That seems impossible after so many decades. About Amy from the Thrive Works Website:Amy is the Director of Development and Journey Groups Director for Alive & Well, author of the Journey Group curriculum, and Director of the Journey Group Leadership Community.

Discussion: Dr. Stephanie Holmes and Dr. Sean Hirt discuss their clinical training and how neither was trained in neurodiversity despite the update in thinking about the Autism Spectrum (DSM-IV Asperger's). Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hirt discuss that applying neurotypical marriage models to Neurodiverse couples is not only not helpful but potentially harmful. Dr. Hirt discusses the role of the central nervous system and its impact on regulation and how typical marriage work may disrupt both partners. Have you heard from your pastor or Christian counselor- Marriage is Marriage, or Marriage is supposed to be hard.
