In today’s episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay welcomes back Dr. Matt Zakreski. He is a prominent voice in the field of neurodiversity. Today we explore the complexities of a neurodivergent individual. Dr. Zakreski discusses the intricacies of sensory processing, masking, and navigating social dynamics. He offers listeners an invaluable guide to understanding and embracing their neurodivergent identities. He shares how neurodivergent individuals can navigate a neurotypical society. "It feels like everybody else got a secret code, and I didn't," Dr. Zakreski reflects. .

Zakreski authored a book called "The Neurodiversity Playbook." It aims to provide the "instruction manual" that neurodivergent individuals never received. It helps them understand their unique brains and how to thrive. It captures the essence of feeling out of place. This is a feeling that many neurodivergent people experience. Through engaging storytelling, Dr. Zakreski offers a roadmap for embracing neurodiversity. He aims to empower men seeking to enhance their mental health and personal growth.
