In this episode, Dr. Debra Kessler comes onto the show to talk about her roadmap that she uses to help others understand what truly is going on for a neurodivergent individual. Her WHAT system, which stands for Wellness, Home, Around Me, and Task, highlights the unseen systems that play a massive role in observable behavior and how others may interpret a person’s behavior. Debra’s training not only as a nurse but also as a clinical psychologist, gives her a unique perspective as a child and family advocate.

I'm Dr. Gwen, a neurotypical psychologist who's been supporting the neurodiverse community for over 20 years. I'm laser-focused (and borderline obsessed) about empowering this community through reliable knowledge, creativity, and skill-building. I love curating and collecting tools, sharing mindsets, and promoting habits to help the neurodiverse community thrive and find joy and meaning in their lives.
