Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review.

This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you

helpful information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now,

let's get started. Welcome, Sydney, to the Autism, ADHD podcast.

Thank you, Holly.

I'm so excited to be here.

I'm excited to be here, too.

I just, I've only had two cups of coffee this morning, Sydney.

So, all right, let's get into an incredibly important topic. You and I are going to

talk about shame. But before I do that, I'm going to introduce you really quick. Sydney Rose is a

neurodivergent consultant, trauma therapist, and the director of clinical services at Fibromyalgia

Care Society of America.

She's been passionate about improving the delivery of health care for recipients since she

started her career in social work 15 years ago as a peer mental health and special education

advocate.

Since then, she's designed internationally used curriculums for nonprofits, universities, and businesses that

integrate innovative research into healthcare.

So, shame.

Where do you want to start?

Okay.

There's so much to say about shame, but I think the first thing that's really important for

people to know about me is about how I view the world.
