E170. Assessing Safe vs. Unsafe When Interacting with the Neurotypical World

Update: 2025-10-22

Description

In which I discuss a recent mistake I made in following neurotypical advice, and the lesson I learned about how important it is for neurodivergent folks to know how to assess what is safe for their nervous systems before taking action.

Also in this episode: my podcast's mini rebrand and a diagnosis I got this summer.

My name is Kendra and I'm an AuDHD writer, podcaster, and erstwhile social scientist.
