Neurodivergence isn’t a flaw — it’s something we celebrate. And this week, JVN welcomes writer and creator Elyse Myers to talk about her adult diagnosis of Autism, living with ADHD, and how seeing her brain clearly has changed everything: work, relationships, creativity, and the way she cares for herself. From masking and people-pleasing to boundaries and self-acceptance, Elyse shares the before/after of getting language for her experience. We dig into how she writes, what life looks like behind the camera, why the Midwest is low-key the best, and the realities of parenting with neurodivergence. It’s a conversation about replacing “What’s wrong with me?” with “What do I need?” Check out Elyse's new book: That’s A Great Question, I’d Love To Tell You 00:00 Hi, Elyse Myers 01:25 Advice for 20 Somethings 02:18 Kate Hudson Lore 03:55 Midwest U.S.A. 05:22 Elyse’s New Book 10:52 Elyse’s Writing Process 15:23 Elyse Behind the Camera 16:07 Americans United: The Docket Drop 21:24 When You Don’t Feel Yourself… 24:47 Recovering People Pleaser 27:20 Adult Autism Diagnosis 32:58 Finding Self-Acceptance 37:05 Parenting with Neurodivergence https://www.instagram.com/elyse_myers https://www.instagram.com/jvn https://www.instagram.com/gettingbetterwithjvn
