Neurodivergence and Being Bullied

Have you ever been bullied physically or online because of being neurodivergent, a nerd, OCDer?  Or have you been name called, nicknamed or been the receiver of a slur? Or worse, are you your own bully because you think you are a burden to others? Today’s episode is inspired by some articles that I read recently and feelings that I’ve been wrestling or struggling with over my whole life since I was diagnosed as NVLDer, PTSDer, and chronic migraine warrior. Links for articles:https://themighty.com/topic/disability/disability-slurs-you-may-not-know/https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/01/why-geeks-get-bullied-its-not-necessarily-for-being-geeks/272723/https://neurodivergentrebel.com/2022/10/19/autism-adhd-and-bullying-my-neurodivergent-autistic-adhd-autdhd-experience/https://bdd.iocdf.org/expert-opinions/the-roles-of-bullying-and-victimization-in-ocd-and-bdd/https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/neurodivergence-burden-society-source-strength-nathaniel-w-hawley/Songs to use in this episode:“Invisible”  by Hunter Hayes, “I Learn (And I Forget),” by Daniel Nahmod,Link for Pateron:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ patreon.com/LivingWithAnInvisibleLearningChallenge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Links for new podcasts:Shero: Be Your Own Hero Trailer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1O7Mb26wUJIsGzZPHuFlhX?si=c3b2fabc1f334284⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chats, Barks, & Growls: Convos With My Pet Trailer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/74BJO1eOWkpFGN5fT7qJHh?si=4440df59d52c4522⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Think Out: Free Your Imagination Trailer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/episode/71UWHOgbkYtNoHiUagruBj?si=3d96889cfd2f487b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
