Description
Hey pickle pals! Tonya here with a revelation that explains SO much about the neurodivergent experience!
In this landmark episode, I explore groundbreaking research connecting high IQ with processing differences - solving the mystery of why so many brilliant minds struggle with seemingly "simple" tasks.
You'll discover:
