Faith, Neurodivergence and a Life Lived to The Full. Dr Amanda Wilson

We talk with Dr. Amanda Wilson about learning she’s neurodivergent later in life and how that diagnosis helps her give herself grace while building a career that fits her limits and strengths. We also trace her long road to Jesus and why accessible church community, practical structure, and honest support matter for mental health. • growing up between Deep South Christianity and Bay Area liberal church culture • identifying ADHD and autism traits through orthodontic work and life patterns • leaving high-volume clinical practice to reduce burnout and sensory overload • finding faith through Catholicism, mission work, and years of searching • meeting Jesus through Regeneration Recovery and disciplined journaling and scripture • navigating stress, micro seizures, and relying on prayer and boundaries • making church more accessible with quiet services, online groups, and accommodations • early orthodontics, airway development, nasal breathing, and homeschooling observations Contact and Follow Amanda at her Website , Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, or Linkedin Sunburnt Souls Unhinged is here!
