About This Podcast
Hi and welcome to The Neurodivergent Awakening Podcast. I call this the Neurodivergent Awakening because it does genuinely feel over the past few years the world has woken up to Neurodiversity, in particular understanding of Autism and ADHD.
I share my lived experience of being early diagnosed Autistic, late diagnosed ADHD and parenting my own neurodivergent child, and share anecdotes, research and tips for things that work for my little family and things I have learned along the way.
I really hope to create a safe and inclusive space for anyone going through diagnosis, on waiting lists or simply exploring their options or want to learn a bit more.
