In this segment of her YouTube talk, Eva Vennari explains how eye contact, social interaction, and dating can be especially challenging for neurodivergent individuals. She argues that the effort required to mask neurodivergent traits in order to appear "normal" consumes internal energy, leading to chronic burnout, anxiety, and depression. Vennari also introduces the practice of mineral balancing—an approach she and her colleague Heather use—to alleviate these mental‑health symptoms and support overall neurodivergent well‑being.

But in order to live in today's world, we have to use— those of us who have a neurodivergent brain, we have to use more of our internal healing, day-to-day energy to try to appear normal. And this is what causes burnout for us. And it's very common for those who have a neurodivergent life brain to be burned out.
