Description

In this episode, Aniesa wants to talk about the lengths we all go to in order to fit in. Everyone, regardless of whether they are neurodiverse or neurotypical mask to some extent in order to fit in and Aniesa talks about why she thinks this may be.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are things in life we have to do but there are lots of things we don’t have to do but often feel like we must.
• No one wants to be labelled or judged which is why people do so much to fit in with everyone else.

She has worked across a range of pediatric fields and has extensive experience in autism, specific learning difficulties, as well as anxiety and emotional regulation.
