The Neurodivergent Friendship Gap, with the Synchrony Team

In your view, why has the conversation around loneliness in neurodivergent adults been so quiet for so long? Why do you think that is?

Jamie PastranoGUEST
I mean, I'll, I'll take it from, of course, the lens of being a mom, because you know, Kai, my son, Jesse is 21 and he's autistic.

Jamie PastranoGUEST
And I think there's so many things that you need when you're a parent or when you're neurodivergent and you think of the basics, you want your therapies, you want to learn how to talk.

Jamie PastranoGUEST
And I don't want to say that mental health gets ignored, but I think it falls to the wayside because you're in this rat race to try to just keep up and stay afloat and have milestones.
