Hello, my name is George Muniz Gund (he/they). I am a young Brazilian American autistic and ADHD actor, neurodiversity acceptance and disability justice advocate. In this podcast I talk about my lived experience of being an autistic+ADHD person growing up in a world built for neurotypicals. I also host guests to talk about their own personal lived experiences with neurodiversity, as every neurodistinct person is different and experiences neurodiversity in their own unique ways
*I am not a professional and do not represent the viewpoint of all neurodistinct people, I am just one neurodistinct person speaking about Autism and ADHD from my personal lived experiences, as well as the personal lived experiences of my guests.
