After years of navigating life undiagnosed with ADHD and autism, Erik Taylor, a seasoned computer technician and administrative professional, finally received the answers he needed. Join us as Eric uncovers the transformative power of understanding one's neurodiversity, not only in his professional endeavors but also in shaping his recent marriage. Inspired by a personal loss, I share my motivation for starting this podcast—a journey to break the stigma surrounding Mental Health and foster genuine connections through open conversations about mental fitness.

Explore the intricacies of neurodiversity and mental health, as we unravel common misconceptions surrounding autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its evolving classification. We dive into the ways ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety intersect with ASD, highlighting the amplified challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals. Discover how everyday language can blur the lines between casual descriptors and genuine conditions, and learn why understanding these complexities is crucial for fostering empathy and support.

Discover practical strategies for managing neurodiversity, from tools like Google Calendar and electronic notebooks to the art of balancing hyperfocus in personal Relationships. The conversation extends to the impact of teleworking on mental well-being and the significance of mental fitness for overall health. Through the lens of popular games like Pokémon, we also celebrate how shared experiences can build bridges, illustrating the connections between neurodiversity and the diverse world of gaming. Whether through nostalgic reflections or personal Growth, this episode charts a path toward understanding and connection.

Meet Nathaniel P. Scheer, host of MindForce. Born in Chico, CA, Nate has lived a life of ups and downs, from a challenging childhood to finding purpose in the Air Force.
