    Naming Neurodivergence: Introversion, Autism, and The Spectrum | Ep 8
    Jun 5 2026
    For many introverted people, the journey toward self-understanding starts with one powerful realization: maybe the feeling of not fitting in was never because of any personal failure on their part. In “Naming Neurodivergence: Introversion, Autism, and The Spectrum,” Lisa Hurley and Sharon Hurley Hall have a nuanced conversation about introversion, autism, neurodivergence, and the cost of constantly adapting to spaces that were never designed with quiet people in mind.This episode of The Introvert Sisters LIVE! Podcast explores a question more people are beginning to ask openly: Is introversion itself a form of neurodivergence, or is it something entirely different? Sharon and Lisa unpack the distinctions, the overlap, and the ongoing public conversation around introversion, autism spectrum experiences, sensory sensitivity, and social exhaustion through a deeply personal and culturally grounded lens.Speaking directly to introverted Black people who have spent years feeling misunderstood, overstimulated, dismissed, or out of sync with the expectations placed upon them, this conversation creates space for curiosity, self-awareness, and compassion instead of shame.You will learn more about:✅ Whether introversion should be understood as a form of neurodivergence✅ The similarities and differences between introversion, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences✅ Why many introverted people experience chronic overwhelm, masking, and fatigue✅ The cultural pressure Black people face to appear social, agreeable, and high performing✅ How self-knowledge and language can support healing, boundaries, and self-acceptanceJoin Sharon and Lisa for this thoughtful conversation, and connect with a community that believes understanding yourself is a powerful form of self-care.Enjoy the episode, and join Lisa and Sharon every other Friday at noon eastern time for honest conversation, cultural insights, and practical wisdom that every introverted person needs.
