    Jan 2 2025

    Welcome to the first Neurotypicals Don’t Juggle Chainsaws episode of 2025! 🎉 Kate Fox and Nic King and Kate Fox kick off the year by tackling the big, sparkly elephant in the room—New Year’s resolutions. Is the "New Year, New You" mantra really compatible with neurodivergent experiences?
