About this episode
Mattia discusses the challenges of understanding personal capacity and the struggles of neurodiverse individuals in relation to societal expectations.
This week I pushed my body way too far, even though I was having trouble parsing that in the moment. The story is also a great analogy for how other ND internal needs feel (including PDA). Even with all the info, self-kindness, and support, I still struggle to find that exact line of capacity. It's okay that it's hard to figure out! This is the perfect and slightly ironic follow-up from last week's episode about giving up on NT/ableist expectations ;) (ep 80) Repost of ep. 81 Mentioned in episode: wish list Experimenting Your Way to an Extraordinary Life Comparative Grammar of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French (affiliate link) Mackareth's Neurocomplexity model (& affiliate link if you want to sign up) Resources: Transcript Doc Email Newsletter Like Your Brain community space Hosted on Acast.
