Join the hotties as they talk attachment theory- have you ever heard of secure, anxious, or avoidant attachment? Did you know that the theory was based on neurotypical brains, and there's a whole theory recently developed for those of us who are neurodivergent? Listen and find out about all the various ways attachment theory can be directly correlated to your nervous system regulation status!

Today’s episode is inspired by some, not so positive, characters from the history of neurodivergence. There is no evidence to support a link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a predisposition to delinquency, crime, or "evil" behavior, however in the quest to advance understanding of neurodivergence, treatment, and lives there have been a lot of mis-steps and horrible approaches. Do you know the history of the puzzle piece? ABA? We’ll give you some background to further understand and make your own decisions. https://embrace-autism.com/misunderstood-and-mistreated/https://neuroclastic.com/invisible-abuse-aba-and-the-things-only-autistic-people-can-see/?amp https://intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/the-ableist-history-of-the-puzzle-piece-symbol-for-autism/#auddyhotties #AuDHD #neurodivergent #podcasters Like, subscribe, and listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Amazon Music, to get more chill AuDHD content!
