The Joy of Neurodiversity: The Blindspot: Why Neurodiversity Needs More than Awareness

Neurodiversity is widely discussed in today's equity work, but many still struggle to recognize it in everyday life or respond to it with depth. Too often, it remains a blindspot, often excluded from inclusion efforts, misread in society, and unsupported in policy. This powerful live podcast features a neurodivergent educator, an affirming, neurodiverse therapist, an executive function coach, and a former senator who raised a neurodivergent child. Together, they expose what's been missed and offer a bold, human-centered blueprint for seeing and supporting all minds.
