Why Support Feels Complicated for Neurodivergent Women
For many neurodivergent women, asking for help isn’t simple. Years of masking, hyper-independence, and being misunderstood often turn support into something that feels unsafe or shameful.
In this episode, Blaze explores why support feels so complicated for women with ADHD and autism — and how redefining support as nervous system safety can change everything. You’ll hear how lived experience and research both point to the same truth: you’re not weak for needing help, you’re wired for connection.
The takeaway? Support isn’t a flaw or a failure. It’s a vital form of care your nervous system deserves.
