Allen talks about common ADHD styles of communication and how they can shape better communication at home, at work, and with yourself. She explains why having ADHD is not a deficit and looks at some communication challenges, like not talking, being impulsive, changing subjects, obsessive thinking, or struggling with self-esteem, and how to manage them in healthy ways. Dianne encourages us to use ADHD to our advantage. Since only 25% of our communication is words, you can be heard without speaking at all. Remember, your ADHD is a superpower, not a flaw.

Follow the mold if you want to be respected. In this episode, Dianne A. Allen challenges that. For neurodivergent executives and founders, hiding who you are isn’t just tiring, it weakens your leadership. Instead of forcing yourself into old systems, this conversation shows how masking drains your influence and how your vision, intensity, systems thinking, and pattern recognition can be your strongest assets.

Allen talks about why gifted and neurodivergent people may seem “normal” on the outside but have a completely different world inside. We’ll look at how the gifted brain develops differently, why social cues can be hard to read, and how to deal with intense thoughts and emotions. Not everyone has a constant inner dialogue or understands the challenges gifted and neurodivergent people face.   Dianne reminds us that no two people are the same. What others see on the outside isn’t the full picture. She encourages us to stay grounded, honor our energy, and find what helps us feel more at ease. You might find relationships tough to build, but you are different by design. Be inspired on the Someone Gets Me Podcast – The Same, Only Different - The Gifted Out in the Wild.

In this episode, Dianne A. Allen explores the necessity of joy and play for gifted and neurodivergent individuals and how we can welcome more of them into our daily lives. She talks about the differences between joy and happiness, society’s hyperfocus on productvity, and how we can find balance with play.
