🎙️ How Autism and ADHD Diagnoses Can Leave People Stuck
In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking Neurocomplexity framework created by Minneapolis-based therapist and educator Lindsey Mackereth—a systems-based approach that reimagines how we understand and support neurodivergent individuals.
Lindsey challenges the limits of traditional diagnostic models, asking: What if a diagnosis is only the beginning, not the answer? Drawing from her clinical work and personal lived experience, she outlines how labels like autism and ADHDcan offer validation but also leave people stuck—fixated on identity instead of guided toward healing.
At the heart of this conversation is Neurocomplexity, a framework built around six essential systems—cellular response, sensory receptivity, creativity, intuition, attention, and cognition—that together form a map for meaningful support and whole-person care.
🔧 Note: This episode was co-created with AI as an intentional support for Lindsey’s neurocomplexity—part of her broader commitment to accessibility, energy alignment, and working with her brain, not against it.
For clinicians, caregivers, and neurodivergent folks alike, this is a call to move beyond categorization and toward care.
🧠 What if we stopped asking, “What’s wrong with you?” and started asking, “What’s asking for support?”
