Welcome back to Neurotypicals Don’t Juggle Chainsaws! Kate Fox and Nic King dive into a thought-provoking topic for this episode on how we rank aspects of our identity and where neurodivergence lands on the list.

Ultimately, this episode underscores the fluidity and context-dependency of identity, while encouraging you to embrace your lists—whatever they may be—and explore what feels most authentic in each moment.

Your identity list doesn’t need to follow a fixed order, and it’s okay for it to change depending on where you are and who you’re with.
