There's silliness at the top of this episode. We nearly cut it out, maybe due to the vestiges of internalised ableism but decided to keep it for authenticity. We can be silly & childlike AND have deep & vulnerable conversations!

New Episode!

A photo of my dogs, Woody - a brown Jack Russell cross - and Molly - a cute little white fluffball. The words Hello Neurokin! are overlaid.

Welcome new followers - I seem to have picked up a bunch today. Maybe the algorithm is a little bit in love with me today?

Whatever the reason, I suppose it's time to look at the spreadsheet of social post ideas I've been building for 3 years, and make some!

Here's my dogs, Woody & Molly. #AuDHD
