About this listen

Being neurodivergent isn’t the same for everyone. For Orin, the experience of Autism (ASD) has meant that social connection has always been challenging. As a non-binary and polyamorous person, Orin always felt the need to mask and ‘play the game’ in order to fit in. Their struggle with trusting people has also created more barriers to connection.

In this episode of We Are Lonely, Orin talks to psychologist Dr James Van Cuylenburg and explores how finding authentic expression has changed the way they interact with the world and with themselves.
