"The only people that I spoke to that one, didn't make me feel like an alien and two, spoke my language were neurodivergent people."
In this episode of the Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan and Simon are joined by Jordans wife Sylvia. They discuss how they discovered their neurodivergence, how Sylvia was the one who first realized that Jordan might be autistic, and her experience of discovering her own neurodivergence and the positive impact it has had on their family. The couple talk about the importance of understanding and supporting each other, and how they have worked through challenges in their relationship. The conversation highlights the need for patience, empathy, and a different approach to communication when dealing with neurodivergent individuals. Simon shares his journey navigating struggles with school, questioning his identity, and finally finding his tribe. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and acceptance from family and friends, and the power of connecting with other neurodivergent individuals.
