#22 - Understanding Neurodivergence: Life with Joshua Bloomfield

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Josh for a raw and thoughtful conversation about living with autism, ADHD, and mental health challenges. Josh shares his personal journey—from early diagnosis and navigating childhood to the complexities of adult life, identity, and emotional well-being. We explore how neurodivergence affects daily experiences, work environments, relationships, and self-perception. Along the way, Josh offers insights into coping through creativity, exercise, animal companionship, and open communication. We also touch on broader topics like the history of mental health treatment, the science of addiction, and the illusion of free will. It’s an honest and insightful discussion about understanding the invisible challenges many people face and the importance of empathy, support, and expression.-Contact Me: www.plantoendure.comInstagram: @plan.to.endure Hosted on Acast.
