Chapter 18 Neurodivergence and Assertiveness - why is it so hard to get the balance right?

Chapter 18 recapping my unexpected Autism and ADHD year: this week I'm talking about assertiveness and boundary setting and why this can sometimes be doubly challenging for neurodivergent people. I'll look at different types of behaviour responses, from aggressive to non-assertive (taking in passive, submissive, passive-aggressive and manipulative), how these can be all related to self-esteem, and why neurodivergent people can often oscillate from submissive people-pleasing to aggressive meltdown and back again without being able to land the 'Goldilocks' behaviour of polite, calm and firm assertive boundary setting and communication. Finally, I'll ponder whether a 'high ground' of calm, self-respecting two-way communication between neurodivergent and neurotypical people may be possible with sustained effort from both sides.

Take the self test (remember it's JUST a self-test) and see how you score. You may have been autistic all along and had no idea, like me: https://psychology-tools.com/test/aut... ADHD Self-Test: (with all the same caveats as above) an ADHD self-test. ADHD is even MORE common than autism (many of us have both) and the vast majority of ADHDers just struggle through from childhood through adulthood having no idea they even HAVE ADHD, let alone working out strategies to cope and deal with it all better to be happier and less frustrated with ourselves and others. https://psychology-tools.com/test/adu...
