Show Notes

Hey my lovelies! Today we're exploring what it means to be 'Neurodivergent' and some tips on how to navigate these feelings in your social or dating life as an LGBTQ+ person 🌈 I'm joined by my wonderful friend Abigail Balfe (Author of 'A Different Sort of Normal' - A guide to being diagnosed as autistic with ADHD later in life!) We chat about first dates, social anxiety, alcohol, masking and why the TV should just be TURNED DOWN at all times 👀 This is a great episode to listen to if you're curious about yourself or a loved one!
