Our efforts to connect with others and "be normal" can be the very things leaving the neurotypical people in our lives to understand us even less.
Especially in women, neurodiversity can be misunderstood, judged, and detrimentally hidden away.

Climate Anxiety and Grief
The existential experience of coping with climate change is very different than the grief or anxiety typically seen in a therapists office.
