Episode 229 | The Intersection of Neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ Identities
from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon
In today's episode of Psych Talk I discuss the intersection of neurodivergence, specifically Autism and ADHD, and LGBTQ+ identities. I start the episode by discussing Pride Month, defining neurodivergence, as well as defining the term "neuroqueer". Next, I discuss the intersection between ASD and LGBTQ+ identities, where I discuss statistics about the co-morbidity between the two, theories as to why there is such overlap, and unique challenges ASD-LGBTQ+ individuals face. Then, I discuss the intersection between ADHD and LGBTQ+ identities, including statistics, theories regarding the concordance rates, and challenges ADHD-LGBTQ+ individuals experience. I end the episode by discussing how we can affirm neuroqueer identities. Autistic Poets and Story Tellers ProjectResources:Gender Identity, Sexuality, and Autism by Eva A. Mendes and Meredith R.
