In this episode of The Neurodivergent Report, Sarah and JQ welcome back Sol Smith, certified autism specialist, author of The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery, and founder of the NeuroSpicy Community!

Curious what’s inside:

• Autonomy and choice are essential for neurodivergent learners

• PDA as a drive for autonomy rather than “demand avoidance”

• “There’s no such thing as an academic emergency…”

• Supporting kids’ special interests as pathways to motivation and resilience

• Importance of self-advocacy skills

However you are able to engage, thanks for being here!

With love, Sarah 💜

Come meet Brett, the AuDHD Boss!

We’re talking about workplace accommodations; both how to ask for them and what to even try!!!

Curious about what's inside:

• The realities of neurodivergence in professional spaces, namely the impacts to the way we show up at work.

• Unpacking the importance of accommodations and how/what to ask for

• Why open communication and psychological safety are essential for neurodivergent success.

Through personal experiences and practical strategies, we discuss self-regulation, emotional triggers, burnout prevention, and how to ask for clarity without feeling “difficult.”

Whether you are a neurodivergent in the workplace, or hold a position in management - this episode has something to offer you!

Dr. Kristen Eccleston is known online as The Neurodiverse Teacher, and we are digging back in to accommodations at school for our neurodivergent kids!

Curious what's inside:

• Schools over-discipline instead of supporting the mental health of EVERY child
• What undiagnosed mental health issues (ADHD, autism, OCD, and anxiety) look in the classroom

• What parents and students can ask for (but don’t know they can!)

Kristen is passionate, funny, and radically student-centered. This episode is a MUST for parents, teachers, therapists, school leaders, and anyone who wants a future where neurodivergent brains are supported instead of punished.

However you are able to engage, thanks for being here!

Love, Sarah
