Episode 5: Being a Neurodivergent Ally with Adelle Sushames

Hi guys, we are so excited to release Episode 5 with our FIRST EVER GUEST, Clinical Psychologist Adelle Sushames, who you may also know as Neurodivergent Ally.  In this episode, we are lucky enough to chat with Adelle on some of her key values and reflections on what it means to her being a neurodivergent affirming psychologist, and some of the challenges she has encountered in this space in her years of experience in supporting clients and families. We also discuss some of Adelle’s approaches, as well as some of her resources which she has developed to support neurodivergent clients understand their brains and individual needs. We hope you all get as much out of this episode as we both did.
