This week on the Big Sister Hotline, we’re diving into the tender, complicated terrain of neurodivergence - from the anxiety of seeking an ADHD or autism diagnosis, to the lifelong stories we tell ourselves about being “lazy,” “disorganized,” or “too much.” Clem reflects on her own experience of diagnosis, the grief and relief that can accompany it, and why the medical system so often fails to see women clearly. More than a label, a diagnosis can offer language, tools, and compassion - but as Clem reminds us, your worth was never contingent on external validation. Whether or not you choose that path, you already have permission to love yourself exactly as you are.If you would like to submit a question for a future episode, please email <a href="mailto:bigsisterhotline@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bigsisterhotline@gmail.com</a>Follow Clem on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clementine_ford/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> & <a href="https://www.facebook.com/clementineford/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>Subscribe to her <a href="https://clementinef.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dear Clementine Substack</a>Join her <a href="https://www.patreon.com/clementineford" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a>This podcast is part of the Kind Regards Network.
