Welcome to The Neurodivergent Lounge
A comfortable space for uncomfortable growth.
After years of trying systems that didn’t fit my ADHD/autistic brain, I stopped forcing change—and started researching myself. This podcast shares that journey.
Each episode blends raw, honest conversation with real research at the intersection of neurodiversity and neuroplasticity. You’ll hear from neurodivergent voices, researchers, and evidence-based studies that finally make it all click.
No fluffy hacks. No pressure to mask. Just insight that helps you understand your beautifully different brain.
What makes this different?
The Lounge was built alongside SORA Ally—an AI companion that draws from academic research to help neurodivergent folks create success systems that actually work.
Every episode here is grounded in the same research that powers SORA.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Lounge, Marie Martin explores the complex relationship between past emotional experiences and present reactions, particularly for neurodivergent individuals. She discusses how our nervous system relives past traumas and emotional pains, often leading to intense reactions in seemingly benign situations. Marie offers practical strategies for grounding oneself and reframing emotional responses, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the difference between fact and emotion. The conversation ultimately encourages self-acceptance and understanding of one's neurodivergent identity.
