Neurodifference podcast
Neurodifference is a podcast started with a goal of raising awareness of neurodiversity and neurodivergent conditions. By presenting information via real life experiences as well as literature I believe this can be done to its greatest! At neurodifference I aim to show that a neurodiverse and neurodivergent condition only makes someone different, it does not necessarily hold them back in life and achieving their potential. The sharing of information is crucial. Together with neurotypicals we can make a positive difference to society and enable each other to fulfil our unlimited potential.
