Notas del episodio

The "flat" state is the one most likely to be

missed - or mislabeled - in neurodivergent adults. In this episode we look at how

depression actually presents when you're neurodivergent, and the signals that set

it apart from shutdown and burnout: a flatness with no clear trigger, and a

hopelessness that doesn't lift even after real rest. Naming it correctly matters,

because flat responds to different support than freeze or fawn. Please take care

while listening.
