• Más Allá del Déficit: Teresa Somoza y la Clínica Neuroafirmativa Enmascaramiento, Autismo y Triple Excepcionalidad

  Send us a text¿Qué sucede cuando una profesional de la salud mental debe deconstruir años de formación para trabajar desde la evidencia actual? Teresa Isabel Somoza, Licenciada en Psicopedagogía y especialista en neurodivergencias desde Buenos Aires, nos lleva a través de su transformación del modelo médico del déficit hacia una práctica clínica genuinamente neuroafirmativa.En este episodio exploramos temas cruciales: el enmascaramiento social que practican el 70% de adultos autistas y su costo devastador en salud mental, el burnout autista como fenómeno distinto que va más allá del agotamiento laboral, y la triple excepcionalidad (autismo, TDAH y altas capacidades) - una combinación que frecuentemente retrasa diagnósticos y enmascara necesidades reales.Teresa desmonta mitos clínicos con honestidad radical: habla sobre las prácticas que tuvo que replantear, cómo el paradigma de la neurodiversidad no es "moda" sino justicia social respaldada por investigación, y por qué el 80% de mujeres autistas permanecen sin diagnóstico hasta los 18 años. Discutimos el fenómeno de las redes sociales y el autodiagnóstico, la importancia de las prácticas interoceptivas, y las formas sutiles de capacitismo que persisten en consulta.Este episodio es esencial para profesionales que buscan actualizar su práctica y para personas neurodivergentes que merecen ser vistas desde la presunción de competencia, no desde el déficit.Contacto Teresa Somoza: YouTube: Psico es Salud: Cerebro Mente y Alma WhatsApp: +54 9 11 5774-8124neurorebelpodcast.com | [email protected] #AutismoAdulto #TripleExcepcionalidad #Neuroafirmativa #Argentina  #BurnoutAutista #Enmascaramiento #TDAH #AltasCapacidadesSupport the showThank you for listening to Neuro Rebel — the bilingual podcast where we flip the script on what it means to think differently.

• La Arquitectura de la Invisibilidad: De Resiliencia, Neurodivergencia y Enmascaramiento

  Send us a text¿Por qué estás exhausta todo el tiempo cuando no estás haciendo nada "difícil"? La respuesta no es lo que piensas.En este episodio exploramos la arquitectura invisible de exclusión que permea cada espacio que navegamos: escuelas, trabajos, sistemas de salud, incluso nuestras propias familias. A través de la historia de Sarah, una ingeniera brillante diagnosticada autista a los 47 años, descubrimos que el agotamiento neurodivergente no es falla personal. Es el resultado predecible de vivir en sistemas diseñados arquitectónicamente para un solo tipo de mente.La Investigación demuestra algo revolucionario: no es el autismo lo que predice problemas de salud mental: es esconder que eres autista. Confirma que el enmascaramiento se correlaciona fuertemente con ansiedad, depresión, y pérdida del sentido de pertenencia.Este episodio va más allá de la investigación. Confronta directamente la narrativa capacitista que valora a las personas neurodivergentes solo por lo que pueden "producir". El costo real de la invisibilidad son las infancias robadas, las décadas sin autoaceptación, la alegría arrebatada.Descubrirás:Por qué las mujeres, personas racializadas y poblaciones marginadas enfrentan retrasos diagnósticos devastadoresLa diferencia crucial entre acomodación y rediseño sistémicoCómo la interseccionalidad multiplica la invisibilidad arquitectónicoPor qué "resilencia" a menudo es solo evidencia de falla sistemáticaSarah descubrió algo transformador: el problema nunca fueron sus hombros. El problema es que alguien construyó las puertas demasiado angostas.Una vez que ves la arquitectura de la invisibilidad, no puedes dejar de verla. Y es entonces cuando la transformación se vuelve posible.Support the showThank you for listening to Neuro Rebel — the bilingual podcast where we flip the script on what it means to think differently.

• The Architecture of Invisibility: Of Resilience and Neurodivergent Masking

  Send us a textThe Architecture of Invisibility: Why Neurodivergent Masking Isn't ResilienceFor 50 years, I disappeared in plain sight. Tenured law professor, Fulbright scholar, immigrant success story, yet I was invisible, even to myself. At 63, my autism diagnosis revealed a devastating truth: the problem was never my brain. The problem was trying to exist in structures built for someone else.This episode introduces my original framework: the architecture of invisibility; revealing how social structures systematically render neurodivergent people invisible while celebrating our "resilience" in surviving exclusion.Through Sarah's story and groundbreaking research, we uncover the hidden cost of masking. A 2024 meta-analysis of 5,897 autistic participants found moderate correlations between camouflaging and anxiety, depression, and poor mental health. The revelation? Being autistic doesn't predict mental health problems. Hiding that you're autistic does.We expose how this architecture operates across education, workplace, healthcare, and family systems, invisible barriers that force millions to "squeeze through doorways built too narrow."Key insights:- Why "resilience" often means successful invisibility- How minority stress theory explains neurodivergent mental health- Why inclusion requires redesign, not accommodation- The intersectional impact on multiply marginalized identitiesThis isn't about fixing ourselves. It's about dismantling systems that demand we disappear to belong.If you've ever felt exhausted from performing your own life, this episode will change how you see every institution you've navigated.Stop squeezing through narrow doorways. Start demanding they be rebuilt.Support the showThank you for listening to Neuro Rebel — the bilingual podcast where we flip the script on what it means to think differently.

• Oliver's Story: From Anger to Understanding - Of Late ADHD Diagnosis and the Path to Authentic Acceptance

  Send us a textWhat happens when decades of anger finally make sense? Oliver's transformative ADHD diagnosis story reveals how childhood "attention problems" in East Germany led to life-changing therapeutic discovery at 40.🧠 ADHD affects 2.5-4% of adults, with 75% remaining undiagnosed. Oliver's journey from emotional overwhelm to neurodivergent understanding shows why late diagnosis isn't failure: it's liberation.In this deeply personal conversation, discover:✨ How perfectionism masks ADHD struggles✨ Why simple tasks like showering require intense mental bandwidth✨ The connection between anger and sensory overwhelm✨ Relationship dynamics when ADHD goes unrecognized✨ Cultural barriers to neurodivergent acceptanceOliver shares breakthrough moments: report cards that always noted "problems paying attention," hyperfocus sessions that completed weeks of work overnight, and learning that fidgeting actually improves listening, revelations that transformed self-criticism into self-compassion."I'm not lazy. I'm gifted," Oliver declares, reframing his ADHD as superpower rather than deficit. His advice? "Do therapy like going to the gym," invest in understanding your beautiful, complex brain.This isn't just another diagnosis story, it's a masterclass in neurological self-acceptance and the radical act of seeing differences as features, not flaws.Perfect for: Late-diagnosed adults, partners of neurodivergent people, anyone questioning their brain's wiring, mental health advocates.🎧 NeuroRebel: Where lived experience meets rigorous research.
