In this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by psychic, medium, and author Karen Fox to
explore a question many intuitive seekers ask: Can you be both psychic and neurodivergent? Neurodivergent describes individuals whose brain functions, learns, and processes information differently from what is considered typical or "neurotypical". It encompasses a range of neurological or developmental conditions, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others. Neurodivergence is not a deficit but rather a natural variation in human brain function. We talk about common traits like aphantasia, ADHD, autism, synesthesia, and how they affect intuitive development. We also share personal stories, tips for building your skills with sensory or learning differences, and results from a personality type survey of neurodivergent intuitives.
