Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, a parent to neurodivergent children, or both like I am — I’m so glad you’re here.
In this first episode of Reframing Neurodiversity, we’re peeling back the layers of outdated stigmas and beliefs about neurodivergence in our schools, workforce, and society at large.
My mission is to get us all to think about our neurowiring in a new way. A way that embraces the individuality that exists within each of us, sees neurodiversity as a gift, and encourages us to be curious about how we all think differently.
So in this episode I’m sharing my own journey with neurodiversity, why I have compassion for everyone at the table here, and what we can do to support each other.
I cover topics like: how it feels to be under the radar, slipping through the cracks in the school system as a bright child masking dyslexia and ADHD to keep up with the neurotypical environment. What are the lasting effects from feeling like a square peg forced into a round hole in grade school and beyond?
I also share the exhaustion and frustration as a former teacher who wasn’t provided the tools or the education to show up for the neurodivergent kids in my classroom. And I talk about the pain and heartbreak that comes with the role of advocating for my kids in a system that wasn’t designed for them.
