Is it struggles with picking up social cues, energy depletion, over-commitment, and sensory overload?\nThe answers are broad and vary from person to person, but it\u2019s fair to say that in many cases, it\u2019s a mix of all of the above (and maybe a few more things).\nIn this episode, I talk with Megan Neff, psychologist, an expert in neurodivergence, private practice owner, author, and creator of the Instagram account @Neurodivergent_Insights.\nTop 4 reasons to listen to the entire episode:\n\nHear from two successful autistic, ADHD Therapists and Entrepreneurs who share their experiences of navigating entrepreneurship after receiving an autism diagnosis in adulthood (which is more common than you may think)\n\nLearn why emotional tone and picking up on social cues are NOT the same thing\n\nUnderstand the balancing act between ADHD and autism and how it plays an integral part in entrepreneurship and therapy.\n\nLearn ways to protect your energy and manage time to prevent and manage burnout.\n\n\nWhether you have a diagnosis or not, this episode is full of first-hand accounts of experiences that challenge the stereotypes and stigma around autism and ADHD as therapists and entrepreneurs.\nMore about Megan:\nDr. Megan Anna Neff has a doctorate in clinical psychology and is currently a psychology resident in private practice where she specializes in working with neurodivergent adults and provides neurodivergent affirming assessments.
