First impressions can take only 6 seconds to make! But if you’re neurodivergent, those quick judgments about you can be misleading.

That’s where the Beyond 6 Seconds podcast comes in! Join me, Carolyn Kiel, as I talk with neurodivergent entrepreneurs, creators, advocates & more about their lives and identities. Their stories shatter misconceptions, break stigma and showcase the vibrance of neurodiversity.

  • What her life was like before her autism diagnosis
  • How her views of her own autism and her relationship with God changed over time
  • The initial conflict she felt between her faith and her secular special interests, and how she feels about her special interests today
  • The advice that she has for other neurodivergent people who are struggling with their faith
