Hacking Neurodivergence

Encouraging to listen to and lots of funny but meaningful conversations

I’m going to try another episode or two to see how I feel about it. Based on the one I’ve just heard though (adulting with Aspergers) I’m more bothered than anything. The host really should have pushed back - in my opinion - on the tone the guest took. Really ableist talking points and this vibe towards quantifying and rank ordering “disabled” people - both within the spectrum and between/verses ASD and other developmental and cognitive diagnoses. I’d have liked to have heard the host acknowledge the problematic statements and used them as an opportunity to educate not just the guest but listeners. No one is better for being “high functioning”. No one is better because they are a very bright Aspie rather than being a person with a different diagnosis.
