Ep 117: Being An Unconventional Human In A World That Is Obsessed With Convention
Trying to fit myself into a conventional role in society has got me feeling some type of way. Can we agree that the rules on how things are "supposed" to be are dumb? Can I just be my artsy, quirky self and not worry about it?

Ep 116: Thoughts On the DSM & Adult ASD Diagnosis w/Dr. Christina Stai
If you listened to my episode on the DSM, you know my thoughts about it/the diagnostic process. Now it's time to hear from an actual clinician who conducts ASD assessments for adults. Dr. Stai gives some interesting insights into the diagnostic process from a psychotherapists point of view, plus gives some tips for those seeking an assessment. Oh, and I might add, Dr. Stai is neurodivergent herself!
You can find Dr. Stai on Instagram @dr.christina.stai
or Twitter @DoctorStai

Ep 115: Laughing…It’s Harder Than It Looks
They say “laughter is the best medicine” but does laughing on the inside count? I’m not sure if I even know how to laugh, or if I’m doing it right? Shouldn’t this come naturally??

Customer Reviews
Finally understanding myself for the first time in 31 years
Melissa, thank you so much. This podcast has been more helpful than you’ll ever know. Thank you.
Honest and Vulnerable
This Podcast is truly wonderful and I don’t know what I would do without it. It is honest and vulnerable in the deepest sense. You talk as if you know exactly how my brain works! I especially love your “life update” episodes. Thanks for sharing everything with us. 🙂
THANK YOU
This podcast is SO HELPFUL to me. I’ve found imitating the behavior (literally recording voice memos to process, but I’m not brave enough to share mine) to be an incredibly valuable tool when I need to process things.
