From Shame to Self-Compassion: Supporting Mental Health, Social Needs and Executive Functioning in Neurodivergent Kids
Episode description
I'm excited to welcome Dr. Catherine Mutti-Driscoll back to The Autism ADHD Podcast for this special rebroadcast! We are chatting about neurodivergent children and their experience with self-critcism and how this is impacted by social differences, learning needs and executive functioning. Catherine and I also talk about how to move forward with self-compassion. In This Episode You'll Learn:
- What brain shame is and how it develops in neurodivergent individuals
- How executive function challenges are brain-based skills, not character flaws
- The impact of brain shame on academic performance, social interactions, and home life
- Catherine and I talk about our journeys.
- How parent and educator expectations can unintentionally foster brain shame
- Strategies for combating brain shame and building self-compassion
- Why understanding your brain's unique wiring is crucial for mental health
