Neurodiversity and Grief
Manage episode 458322837 series 2826302
Imagine realizing in your 50s that the challenges you've been facing your entire life are actually symptoms of ADHD. That's exactly what happened to our guest, Carolyn Jenkins, a veteran special education teacher with more than four decades of experience. Carolyn shines a light on the often-misunderstood concept of neurodiversity, sharing her personal journey and how it intersects with both her professional and personal life. Her story not only highlights the resilience and success that come alongside a diagnosis but also emphasizes the importance of understanding that neurodiversity involves diverse brain functions, not mere behaviors.
We tackle the often-overlooked area of how neurodiverse individuals navigate grief. For women and older men, these conditions can remain hidden, complicating their grieving process. Our conversation covers the crucial role of professional guidance and the support networks that are invaluable in such situations. We recognize the unique ways neurodiverse children, especially those on the autism spectrum, experience grief. Breaking down misconceptions, we stress the importance of clear communication and the balance between routine and flexibility to support them.
In addition, we discuss the healing power of community resources like Soaring Spirits and Camp Widow that provide spaces for connection and understanding. These initiatives support individuals and families through their grief journeys, offering comfort and a sense of belonging in shared experiences. Join us as we explore these transformative conversations and resources that aim to foster understanding and healing.
