Many of us have seen this come up in our neurodivergent communities. It seems we run into challenges when sharing our intent and thought process. It's frustrating because we want to improve and maintain our relationships. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, I help you understand how radical accountability and prioritizing connection can foster healthier relationships.Key Points:* Radical accountability involves taking ownership of one's actions and their impact.* Healthy relationships require prioritizing connection over being right.* Modeling healthy behavior can help others learn how to communicate effectively.* Being an elite apologizer means acknowledging impact first, then intent.* Personal growth involves recognizing our own triggers and patterns.Helpful Links:* Hire me to speak or buy some merch!: sheldongayisbugn.com* Free GroupMe Community for Talented and Gifted adults: https://groupme.com/join_group/108040800/igLaxqNG* ND Connect - Online community for neurodivergent people: ndconnect.app* Umbrella ND - Non-profit focused on neurodivergent advocacy: https://umbrellaopensdoors.org/* Submit your Questions or Misunderstood Insights: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelanG1R71TcGjzHIyVW1f8fkE7MaWx-D2j7OtHsIGrdQhi_Q/viewform?usp=sf_linkIntro and Outro music provided by byrdversion1 - "Understand" from the album NevermoreIcons from flaticon.com * Like (https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/like)* Bell (https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/bell) Hosted on Acast.
