Sticks and stones may break my bones, but rejection will crush me forever. In this episode, we are looking at rejection sensitivity, or RSD, through a neuroscience lens focusing on this paper (sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1074742…) to explain what may be happening in your brain when you experience this overwhelming and painful phenomenon associated with ADHD and autism.
