Скачать или смотреть Neurodiversity and Gender: How Trauma and Society Shape Identity | Dr. Oscar Anderson (they/them)

How do trauma and society shape who we become?
In this conversation with Dr. Oscar Anderson, Psy.D. (they/them), we explore the complex relationship between neurodiversity, gender, and identity, and how lived experience, trauma, and culture influence our understanding of self.

Drawing from clinical practice and personal experience, we discuss how autism, ADHD, C-PTSD, and other forms of neurodivergence intersect with gender expression, authenticity, and the social “rules” that define what it means to be a man or woman.

Through this dialogue, Dr. Anderson offers insights into how society’s expectations shape identity development, and how gender work can help anyone, regardless of identity, connect with emotion and authenticity.
