Talking neurodivergence and life with Akshay CM

The MyndStories Podcast

Tell us what you feel. Message us.

What are mental health conversations without the diversity of neurodivergence? Smitha Murthy talks to Akshay CM, who was diagnosed with C-PTSD and Autism last year. But Akshay is more than that. He tells us just how he leads life through all the invisible disabilities, finds joy in everyday conversations and interactions, and the power of manifestation.

It's not a conversation about neurodivergence, really. It's about life. About pain. A lot of fun. And a remarkable tree.

Quote from the conversation

"I believe a lot in being gentle. In being kind."

We talk about

• Invisible disabilities
• Life as a person with autism and being an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)
• A manifesting tree
• Masking and its impact in neurodivergent individuals
