Neurodiverse Love & ADHD with Anne Hodder-Shipp - Ep 34

Season two is about love that gets pushed into the shadows and this episode is about neurodiverse love, specifically, ADHD, with our guest, Anne Hodder-Shipp. In this episode, we cover the whole range of experiences related to love and ADHD. This scope includes how she was loved as a child, how she fought to get love as a young woman, and how she and her partner, who is also neurodivergent, have learned to have compassion for one another, but also appreciation for their unique cognitive wiring. We explore the challenges that come with this sort of neurodiversity, including getting upset when a live in partner disrupts focus. We also unpack the gifts, such as visionary, creative thought. Anne not only discusses the experience of loving a person with neurodiversity on an individual level, but also how society can love and respect people with neurodiversity better, such as by being more accepting and inclusive. This is a zeitgeist shifting episode that may change how you think about neurodiversity, so please join us when we once again dare to Open Deeply.
