During this episode with author, Ryan A. Bush we talk about Ryan's search for understanding his own differences and how that journey led him to create a life path that is more aligned with his strengths.

In addition, we address the following topics;

• The principles of "Psychitecture", which is a focus on self-improvement on a deeper level.
• Depression and anxiety and possible ways to address each.
• Communication, emotional, executive function and sensory differences in a neurodiverse relationship, when one partner is autistic and the other is ADHD.
• When your partner may be obsessive with their work or interests and doesn't always prioritize their romantic relationship.
• The importance of being respectful and having self-control.
• Theory of well-being and neurodiversity.
• Modifying your own mental habits through a systematic approach.
• Change your beliefs to change your moods.
• Doing things that scare you and take you out of your comfort zone.
• Focus on your top personal strengths.
• Understanding your communication battery.
• Remember to be playful and prioritize fun and friendship.
• Stoicism and virtue.
• The rare advantage of different neurotypes.
