Thank you so much for this. I heard of this (termed pervasive drive for autonomy) a few years back when my sister joked that my 2 year old may have it.
I have recently seen a few things pop up lately about it and now listened to the podcast. It’s so interesting because my (now) four year old rocks so many of these boxes. It’s just nice to know I haven’t been alone in this struggle and maybe there is a reason life has been extra hard for me and is extra hard for him.
