When You Embrace Your Neurodivergence Instead of “Fixing” It | Solomon Cole EP 22

Understanding your neurodivergence early in life can shape how you see yourself, how you learn, and what you believe is possible for you.In this episode, I sit down with 19-year-old Solomon Cole, who shares what it has been like to grow up with ADHD while feeling different in traditional school environments. We talk about his early experiences of being misunderstood, getting into trouble for behaviours that felt natural to him, and the turning point of being homeschooled. With the support of his parents, Solomon was given the freedom to move, explore, and learn in a way that actually worked for his brain. We also explore how he has learned to work with his differences instead of fighting them. From needing constant movement to stay focused, to “harmonising” with his food sensitivities by finding creative ways to meet his nutritional needs, Solomon shares a grounded and practical approach to self-awareness. If you are learning how your brain works, supporting someone who is, or reflecting on your own experience of feeling different, this episode offers a perspective that feels both honest and quietly empowering.Connect with Solomon Cole: https://www.instagram.com/solomoncolee/linktr.ee/waxonwaxoffpodcastConnect with Mehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/aniahulsman/https://www.aniahulsman.comIf this episode spoke to you, please consider subscribing and leaving a review.
