In this episode, we dive into the unique challenges neurodivergent individuals face when it comes to setting boundaries with family. Setting boundaries can often be a struggle, especially when dealing with loved ones who may not fully understand or accept neurodivergent traits or diagnoses. We explore the reasons why some families might not be as accepting, from lack of awareness and education to deeply ingrained beliefs or misunderstandings about neurodiversity. We also discuss the power of perception—how the way we see ourselves and how others perceive us can influence the way we handle criticism and rejection from family members. This episode offers valuable insights on how to develop healthier ways to cope with those challenges, find self-empowerment, and maintain your sense of identity in the face of family opposition.
