Today, we discuss a few topics in today's podcast. Dr. Stephanie talks with Jenilee about their family's journey with autism on the mission field. While in church ministry and mission work the three teen girls are diganosed with ASD, ADHD, AuDHD. She realized not only were her kids neurodivergent, but she was in a neurodiverse marriage and family system.
What additional challenges to ministry or being on the mission field may come with a neurodiverse marriage and family?
Are churches or ministry organizations equipped to help neurodiverse marriages and families serving in the ministry/mission field?
About Our Guest:
Rev. Jenilee Goodwin
Professional Life Coach
As a certified professional life coach (ICCI), a certified autism coach (NCDD), and an ordained minister (AG), Jenilee has over 20 years of career ministry experience. Serving in stateside churches and overseas missions, Jenilee brings lived experience, problem-solving skills, compassionate support, and creativity into each coaching session. Jenilee asks hard questions while listening, guiding, and coaching clients in their unique life situations. Jenilee is trained in the Equipping Profile, a personal development coaching tool that helps discover growth points and possible barriers to growth. Through one-on-one and group coaching, Jenilee uses the Equipping Profile, book studies, and even some homework to establish personal development plans, helping clients move forward healthily.
With many in her immediate family on the autism spectrum, Jenilee has a special call and place in her heart for moms of kids on the spectrum and for NT wives going through the difficulties of ND marriages. Even more specifically, I have a passion for these women who are also in full-time ministry or missions. There are very few places to share the full story. In coaching with Jenilee, you can share every single page of the story.
In addition to the above skills, Jenilee loves reading, writing, coffee, going for walks, and watching history documentaries.

Dr. Stephanie interviews Rosemarie Griffin about her workshop on joint attention.
Joint attention is an essential skill for clinicians, teachers, and parents to address for the autistic child/student.
Joint attention involves shared attention between at least two people on an object or even with both people knowing they are attending to the same entity. While this is focused on students, this information is also essential for couples to learn. -
While Dan participated in half of the new book, Uniquely Us, he did not read the chapter written by our other contributing authors in time for the book to reach the publisher by the due date. So, this next series will be Dan reacting to our new book, Uniquely Us!
Today, we discuss chapter 8 of the book written by Robin Tate, MA, MS, CAS. Dan, while ND himself, has not really studied and read very much about the spectrum. So, he reacts with questions and his interpretation of the chapter. Today, we start with a brief definition of Executive Function and talk about EF challenges vs. lack of execution. We discuss will and willpower and their role in EF. -

On a recent road trip, we were listening to the Bible Project's Sermon on the Mount Series.
This episode: Episode 10, March 4, 2024, Bible Project Sermon on the Mount Series: How is Anger the Same as Murder? Spoiler alert- when Contempt enters the picture. What does the Bible say about Contempt?
https://bibleproject.com/podcast/how-anger-same-murder/
Short animated clip: Anger, Wrath, Contempt: When is Anger the Same as Murder
https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/matthew-521-22-murder-and-contempt/
When does the Bible equate anger to murder? When does anger cross into criticism and contempt? What is the difference in giving a complaint when there is hurt and harm and criticism?
Gottman offers some antidotes to the 4 Horsemen:
https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-four-horsemen-the-antidotes/
To Criticism: A Gentle Start-Up with How Something Makes You FEEL vs. Commentary on the person
Contempt: Build a Culture of Appreciation; Wilder would call this gratitude and Joy Building
Defensiveness: Set aside your intentions and explanations- take responsibility for the hurt/harm caused, even if only partial
Stonewalling: Psychological Self-Soothing: Self Care- take a break, work through your issues, come back to the discussion/argument
Quote from Gottman Institute: "Another way that we explain this is our discovery of the 5:1 “magic ratio” of positive to negative interactions that a relationship must have to succeed. If you have five or more positive interactions for every one negative interaction, then you’re making regular deposits into your emotional bank account, which keeps your relationship in the green."
Other clinicians or counselors have called this "keep short accounts".

Robin describes a little about herself:
I am a professionally trained teacher and coach passionate about providing my clients with the best experience. As well as training, I have an in-depth understanding of the impacts of living with an Asperger's Profile and/or ADHD in a neurotypical world. My approach to coaching is client-centered and strength-based. I join with clients to work through obstacles and meet self-determined goals. For Neurodivergent adults, challenges are often rooted in neurological differences, which impact communication, executive function, and/or sensory regulation. As an experienced educator, I also understand learning disabilities, learning styles, accommodations, and a toolbox of strategies.
Coaching and education services complement a variety of other professional services. When needed, I easily collaborate with other professionals and family members.
I meet with clients via online video calls (worldwide). I also meet with clients in person, as agreed to be necessary and safe on a case-by-case basis.
