However, by recognizing these feelings and understanding that they are part of our neurodivergent nature, we can help combat self-criticism and better advocate for our needs.\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fListen to more episodes of the Divergent Conversations Podcast here\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fSpotify\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fApple\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fYouTube Music\n\u25b6\ufe0f YouTube\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/892a51ec-9d3a-460f-9182-1cbf15ccf23d/DC-Logo-Main-Episode-Cover-1.png"}
