Supporting Mental Health Through a Neurodivergent Lens – with Kroy Ryder

In this episode of Inside the Asperger’s Studio: Stories, I sit down with Kroy Ryder, a mental health counsellor who brings both professional expertise and personal lived experience to the conversation.

Kroy is AuDHD (autistic + ADHD) and dyslexic, giving him a unique perspective on what it means to navigate life, work, and wellness through a neurodivergent lens. Together, we explore:

• The realities of living with AuDHD and dyslexia as an adult

• How neurodivergence can shape and strengthen counselling practice

• Common misconceptions about autism, ADHD, and dyslexia in clinical settings

• Strategies for managing burnout and creating safe, inclusive therapeutic spaces

• 
  

This thoughtful discussion highlights the power of authenticity, the challenges of balancing personal needs with professional responsibilities, and the importance of recognizing neurodiversity within mental health care.
