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.
New episodes released every week
*I do not speak for all neurodistinct people, I am just one neurodistinct person speaking about Autism and ADHD from my personal lived experiences.
