About this episode

In this episode of Autistic POV, I talk about Autism, ADHD and how a dream and a couple of synchronicities helped me identify another layer of masking.

My strong autistic special interests and the way hyperactive present for me, make me different. Every time I think I’ve got to the bottom of that I haven’t—but guidance does help!

(I don’t get to the dream until near the end.)

About the my newsletter

After a lot of back and forth, I decided to just rename my newsletter “Barbara Graver.” It’s kind of lame, but coming up with a clever name for a newsletter covering three different topics (creative writing, metaphysics and neurodiversity) is almost impossible. I’m also realizing that the strong desire to do the clever name thing—even when it doesn’t fit—is masking adjacent.

This morning I met with a Jungian analyst and she interpreted one of my dreams. In this video, I focus on a comment she made about living a symbolic life and how it might intersect my autistic special.

 In this episode of the podcast I talk about my own lived experience of how autism and ADHD overlap and sometimes complicate each other. This is only my take and the truth is, my understanding of this is still very much in process. I also talk a bit about faith after the midpoint.
