What does it actually mean to build a life that works for your brain?
I sat down with Patrick Casale, founder of All Things Private Practice, and co-host of Divergent Conversations, a twice-exceptional, AuDHD therapist, entrepreneur, speaker, and coach, for a conversation that went far beyond any single diagnosis.
Patrick shared his journey from being labeled gifted as a child to first discovering his ADHD well into adulthood and then autism years later as a married man. We get into late-discovery, addiction, the search for connection, and why entrepreneurship can become a different kind of path for neurodivergent people. We also talk about relationships, sensory needs, authenticity, self-doubt, and the messy process of creating a life that feels authentically yours. Along the way, we keep coming back to a bigger question: What happens when you stop trying to fit yourself into a world that wasn't built for you?
