Episode Synopsis

PDATE (Nov 2025): Cannabis helped me significantly, but I'm awaiting evaluation for possible epilepsy - the relief may have been partly from treating seizures I didn't know I had. ~20-30% of autistic people have epilepsy (often undiagnosed). Cannabis can help OR trigger seizures depending on the person. Consider screening first or start with CBD-dominant products. I still think it's valuable, but know the autism-epilepsy connection exists."In this episode, I discuss what Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria.Most autists have a deep rejection wound.  A rejection of self and self expression because autistic traits are rarely understood by neurotypical majorities and are often immediately rejected. However, like everything in life, the outer is always a mirror of the inner world.If you can shift your inner world to confront your deepest fears and dive towards everything that makes you uncomfortable emotionally, you can become more aware of your own dysfunctions and heal them. The ego often loves to mask itself making it difficult to discover your own wounds. Read the book Heal Your Wounds, Heal Your True Self by Lise Borbeau to become aware of the 5 key wounds (Rejection, Injustice, Betrayal, Humiliation, and Abandonment) And listen to this episode to dive deeper into understanding and healing your own self rejections along with some examples of that.
