263 Friendship, Boundaries, and Other Olympic Sports for Autistic Brains
Friendship, Boundaries, and Other Olympic Sports for Autistic Brains   Patricia gets real about friendship challenges, navigating communication mismatches, and how OCD and autistic wiring can shape our relationship expectations. She shares a behind-the-scenes peek into her new podcast project, the insecurities that surfaced while collaborating with her co-host, and how unexpected moments of validation reminded her that what she brings to the table is more than enough.   HIGHLIGHTS    ·      Patricia plans to release the podcast bi-monthly to avoid burnout. ·      Insecurities can arise when starting new projects, but validation helps. ·      Everyone has unique strengths, even when they feel insecure about them. ·      Communication in friendships can be challenging, especially for neurodivergent individuals. ·      It's important to recognize that others' actions are not always about us. ·      Self-reflection is can be helpful in understanding relationships. ·      Sharing experiences can have a profound impact on listeners. ·      Validation from others can remind one of the importance of one's work. ·      It's okay to change and evolve over time, both personally and professionally. ·      Setting boundaries is essential for maintaining comfort and well-being.    SOUND BITES ·      "It's not about me." ·      "It's okay for things to change." ·      "What I have to share is enough." ·      "You’re not for everybody and everyone’s not for you." ·      "Reliability, plans, and clear communication are high values of mine and they calm my nervous system." ·      "We can’t know what we don’t know."    SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT’S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren’t built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.   CHAPTERS (please add time for addition of introduction) 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Changes 01:30 Navigating Insecurities and Trusting Strengths 05:30 Friendship Dynamics and Communication 09:14 Self-Reflection and Personal Growth 14:23 Validation and Impact of Sharing Experiences 21:17 Recognizing and Embracing Strengths PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it’s like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren’t alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people.
