S3E130: From Misunderstood To Misdiagnosed: The Importance & Nuance of ND-Affirming Care For OCD with Stacy Greeter, MD
Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, as she kicks off Autism Acceptance Month! We’re welcoming back special guest, Dr. Stacy Greeter, MD— a psychiatrist who brings both clinical expertise and lived experience as an autistic ADHDer with OCD. Nicole and Stacy dive into what it really means to provide neurodivergent-affirming care—from teasing apart compulsions vs. regulation, to the role of medication, and why behavioral therapies like ABA are so controversial in the autistic community. You'll also hear real-life examples, challenges with diagnosis and support systems, and how we can move toward care that prioritizes autonomy, authenticity, and collaboration—especially for folks navigating the intersection of autism and OCD. Join us!
