In this episode we explore ADHD, autism, and rejection sensitive dysphoria through a neuroaffirming lens, moving from damage-based labels to desire-led support. Diagnosis, somatic tools, and group reflection come together to reduce shame and build practical strategies for daily life.
• benefits and limits of diagnosis and accommodations
• executive function, working memory, and decision paralysis
• masking in women and the role of hormones
• misdiagnosis risks and inside-out assessment
• neurodiversity paradigm versus DSM pathologizing
• desire-based frameworks for healing and growth
• choosing neuroaffirming counseling and shared neurotype
• somatic therapy and reworked CBT with body focus
• practical tools, habit windows, and body doubling
• resources including NeuroClastic, Aucademy, and Dr. Nick Walker
• Maverick’s RSD coaching with group reflection and somatics
You can find Maverick at: the.neuroqueer.therapist on Instagram. Six-month RSD coaching program starts in January 2026
