Struggles of Neurodiverse & ADHD People with Erik Thor

How can we address the struggles of those who are neurodiverse and those with ADHD? We talk about the stress of conforming and masking symptoms, the feeling of anger, guilt, and burnout they experience, and also how to have a healthy perspective on neurodiversity and creating a society that supports them.
