Neurodivergent Voices

Welcome to Neurodivergent Voices, a series where we, two licensed occupational therapists who are neurodivergent ourselves, highlight the lived experience of neurodivergent persons. Tired of allowing status quo and misunderstanding to write the neurodiverse narrative, we are on a mission to elevate ND voices to allow them to speak for themselves.

S2 Episode 9: Interview with Liz Grace of "Resilient: Surviving My Mental Illness"

In this episode, we interview Liz Grace who is the author of the memoir, "Resilient: Surviving My Mental Illness." "RESILIENT is a deeply personal memoir about life with mental illness, hearing loss and resiliency. Liz’s journey provides encouragement for patients, families, friends and healthcare workers by showing that recovery is possible. At seventeen, Liz’s world collapses into a place of depression, psychosis and a revolving hospital door. It takes a strong family to help her survive to university life, where she excels despite increasing deafness. But before she can start her career, bipolar disorder - later diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder - returns to threaten all that she has worked towards. It is up to her family, friends, healthcare workers and herself to push through and get her back on her feet. Liz shares her story, including her hospitalizations, highlighting the harmful and helpful things she and others have done to get her to where she is now." This discussion dives into topics of acquired neurodivergence, mental illness, hearing loss, service dogs, and neurodivergent experiences of healthcare. Content Warning: This episode contains brief content related to self-harm starting at 43:50. If you or someone you know are in mental health crisis, there is help available. Text or call 988 for emergent support.
