During this episode, Mona and Nicole Knowlton talk about the stigma and fear neurodivergent individuals and neurodiverse couples may experience when sharing their neurodiverse journey.
Some of the topics addressed include: 

The stigma and fear around diagnosis and self identification; 
Stereotypes that impact the responses received;
How social media content is helping; 
When, or how, to share with friends, family, and coworkers; 
Looking at the genetic component of  neurodiversity and reviewing your family tree;
What it means to have a diagnosis and how it may impact you in the future (ie: discrimination and/or accommodations);
The importance of seeing your partner for who they are and not what you want them to be; 
Being "neuro-gifted" and "neuro-talented";
Why it may be challenging to stop masking or camouflaging; 
Mind-blindness; and 
Healing old wounds and finding a new way of relating.
