Mixed neurotype partnerships come with their own set of strengths and challenges. My brain is constantly tracking 47 things at once, but the follow-through? Not always there. Forms, logistics, spreadsheets, vendor communication… that stuff drains me fast.

So having a partner who can take on the pieces I struggle with is unbelievably helpful. And yeah, there are parts of me that are challenging for them, too. That’s what happens when you’re blending two completely different nervous systems and communication styles.

What makes it work is honesty, patience, and understanding that support doesn’t always look the same on both sides.

If you’re in a mixed neurotype relationship, you already know how much behind-the-scenes teamwork it takes. You’re not alone in figuring it out while you go.

🎧 Want to hear the full conversation? Listen to this week’s episode of All Things Private Practice Podcast.

NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎙️

Ever wondered what it’s really like to run a business with a partner whose brain works totally differently than yours? In this week’s episode, I sit down with my Empowered Escapes co-host and friend Jennifer Agee to get honest about the ups, downs, and lessons learned from our mixed neurotype business partnership.

From neurodivergence, burnout, and sensory overwhelm to communication, support, and finding balance (or not!), this episode dives into the real talk behind making it work—together.

If you’re a therapist, entrepreneur, or anyone navigating cross-neurotype relationships in work (or life), this one’s for you!

This week on @divergentconversations, we’re getting into heavier terrain. We’re talking about something that impacts our community at disproportionate rates - the experience of suicidality. We explore what these thoughts are, why they show up, and some of the things that help us stay here when everything feels hard.

Please watch or listen with care. Crisis and warm-line resources are listed in the show notes. The Neurodivergent Insights team has also put together a set of free supports for anyone who needs them; you’ll find those in the link in bio (and in stories).

Comments are off for this post to help keep things safe, as we’re not able to monitor the conversation in real time. If you need support, you can find crisis and warm-line resources in our bio and show notes. Please take gentle care.

How many neurodivergent lives are slowly destroyed - or worse - by systems never designed for them, by classrooms and workplaces that reward sameness and punish difference?

“If you judge a neurodivergent individual by their ability to fit into neurotypical standards, they will spend their life believing they are inadequate.” - Loveartpix (my adapted quote)

The quote I always use, as it is so clear and speaks volumes on our outdated archaic views towards diversity - “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid”

When our measures of success demand masking and conformity, we don’t just miss people’s strengths - we teach and promote them to doubt their worth.

Please read..

I’m a late‑diagnosed Audhd adult, managing other mental health issues. I have created this post to give better understanding and just ‘some’ of the many reasons why people like myself don’t leave the house regularly. It’s not avoidance; it’s sensory overload, executive drain, anxiety, trauma, and then the crash after from masking.

Please understand this just for awareness - especially for undiagnosed kids and adults who get mislabeled when they’re actually overwhelmed. Listen, believe us, and make small adjustments so showing up doesn’t cause more harm than it’s worth.

🎙️ New Episode Alert! 🎙️

Ever thought about launching a podcast but didn’t know where to start? In this bonus episode of All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk about my journey from doubting my own “podcast voice” to releasing 250 episodes and counting. I dive into naming struggles, beating imposter syndrome, practical steps to get started, and why imperfect action is better than waiting for perfect.

Whether you’re looking to recession-proof your private practice, dream of starting your own show, or just need a dose of encouragement, this solo episode is packed with tips, candid stories, and the permission you need to just DO IT—doubts and all.

Ready to move beyond private practice? Tune in, take notes, and let’s get your podcast ideas off the ground! 🎧

With just a couple of days left of the meteorological autumn, I thought I’d highlight why for #neurodivergent lighting and other #sensoryissues is so important. Whether it’s textures, colours, lights, smells or sounds, they can all help balance and #regulate while bringing a level of #calmmind and #tranquilitat

Here, I’ve combined #mongolian #sheepskin rug, with #linendrapery , #tropicalgarden plants, #indianfabric woven to rest weary feet, #chenille upholstered sofa from recycled fibres, #italian and #french design floor rug and cushions, and #safaridecor all softened by a warm wicker lampshade to comfort from the long cold autumnal nights.

You will notice that the ambient colours are very similar, soothing and cosy, #calming for any soul.

There’s a whole lost generation of ADHD adults — especially women and gender-queer folx — who were never identified or supported. Many grew up internalizing failure or shame for things that were never moral failings, just misunderstood neurology.⁠

Realizing that later in life can bring relief and grief for the years spent masking, struggling, or blaming yourself for what was really ADHD all along.

Life stress can look a lot like ADHD; there’s distractibility, impulsivity, forgetfulness, and difficulty focusing.

But environmental chaos (having multiple jobs, parenting stress, financial strain) can exacerbate those same struggles, even without a neurotype difference.

Context matters. Neurology matters.

We can hold both: understanding real-world overwhelm and honoring what makes ADHD distinct.
