What Is Neurodivergent? 🧠 Neurodiversity: Paradigm, Support, and Social Model
What does it really mean to be neurodivergent? In this episode, Artie Ficial and Ina Telligens unpack the evolving conversation around neurodiversity - the idea that there’s no single “normal” brain. From autism and ADHD to the everyday ways we all think differently, they explore how the neurodiversity paradigm reframes difference as diversity, not disorder.
We’ll look at how this movement, sparked by autistic self-advocates, challenges old medical models, shapes inclusive education and workplaces, and inspires neuro-affirmative support and therapy practices.
Curious minds welcome - this is empathy, science, and social progress rolled into one very enlightening listen.
