Sarah Bergenfield says that before getting a diagnosis of autism, she was confused. She was overwhelmed by a constant barrage of stimulation, relationships with other people were off-putting and life’s unpredictability left her feeling exhausted. She was diagnosed in her 50s and says that while life is challenging, it’s no longer confusing.
This week, embracing neurodiversity: why difference is not a defect. Sarah is a therapist and author of a forthcoming book, Embodying Autism: Navigate Your Autistic Brain, Body and Mind.
Also joining us is cognitive scientist Maureen Dunne, who says we need more neurodivergent thinkers in the workplace to challenge a “business as usual” mindset. Her book, The Neurodiversity Edge, is about how organizations can embrace people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurological differences.

Eamon Dolan severed his relationship with his abusive mother when he was in his 40s. He had endured her physical and psychological violence as a child and later her emotional cruelty as an adult. He had tried to lay down some ground rules to prevent her from hurting him, but she broke them all so he broke off all contact.
On this week’s episode, Eamon Dolan tells us what it took to cut ties with his mother. His new book, The Power of Parting, is about how child abuse undermined him well into his adulthood and how estrangement, while difficult, set him free.
He says that society is overly protective of the family as the ideal unit, putting too many abused children at risk for a life of psychological pain and physical ailments. He argues that the mental health community over-values connection when disconnection is the right thing to do.
