On the Neurodivergent Woman with Monique Mitchelson
Have you been diagnosed with Autism or ADHD recently? Or love or work with someone who has? You’re going to love today’s podcast episode!
Monique Mitchelson (she/her) is an Autistic and ADHD’er Clinical Psychologist and the host of the very popular Neurodivergent Woman Podcast. We take a deep dive into her lived and professional experience of living a neurodivergent life and cover so much in today’s episode, including:
- What the terms neurodiverse and neurodiversity actually mean
- Why many Autistic people prefer identity first language
- How Monique came out publicly as Autistic when she started the Neurodivergent Woman’s Podcast and what that was like for her and her career
- Interoception and some of the challenges that Autistic folk have with noticing, interpreting and acting on internal cues, and what therapists and yoga teachers can do to support their students and clients to cultivate more interoception
- Potential sensory challenges of yoga classes and therapy spaces, and how we can make these more friendly for neurodivergent folk
As well as having a lived experience of Autism and ADHD, Monique is the Co-Director of Divergent Futures training. She consulted on the Australian National Autism Strategy and co-authored the book ‘The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD’ so she knows a thing or two about the topic!
