Christian, too, has been down on himself, despite knowing he’s neurodivergent (someone whose brain differences affect how their brain works). “There’s a whole element of shame and guilt,” he says. “[Your behaviours] start to close doors of opportunity, and then those doors are shut … When I just forget or stall something until last minute, I start to go down the spiral. ‘Why couldn't I do this? Why aren't I good enough? Why can't I do what this person could do?’”
