Episode 1: Different not Disordered

There are 8 billion brains in the world...and they are 8 billion unique brains. We’re all different. So why are neurodivergent conditions (like Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia) referred to as disorders? Are they really disorders? Or just different variations of normal?   Sonia chats to her guests about the value of neurodiversity, the strengths of unique brains and the challenge of trying to fit into a society that just isn’t built for you.   Guests:  Dani  Rich Rowley brainbadge.org  Anton Ashcroft divergenthinking.co.nz  Alex Campbell adhdalex.com  Lucy Charles paediatricot.nz  Scott Robertson (courtesy of Unlocking Potential a documentary by Elliot Jones).  Facebook: Kids Wired Differently See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
