Episode 4: Self-Sabotage

Episode 4: Self-Sabotage

In this 4th episode of Neurodivergent Struggles, Dr. Kojo Sarfo and Emily dive into the topic of self-sabotage and how it often shows up in subtle ways for neurodivergent people. They explain that self-sabotage is not always dramatic, but can look like being late, missing opportunities, impulsive spending, substance use, or drifting from purpose, especially when things are going well or when boredom sets in.The conversation explores nervous system regulation, success, and vices. Dr. Kojo shares how being unregulated can lead to poor decisions and repeated cycles of self-sabotage, particularly around substances, relationships, and the need for stimulation. They discuss how certain vices, including video games and dating, can become consuming for neurodivergent individuals, and why stability and uneventful days are often healthier than excitement with consequences.The episode also includes an audience question about early signs of autism in young children, highlighting the importance of early evaluation and diagnosis. The hosts explain common developmental signs to watch for, emphasize that autism can be identified as early as age two, and stress that early understanding helps parents better support communication and development, while reinforcing that there is nothing wrong with a child who has autism.Find us on all platforms at: @neurodivergentstruggles
