Unpacking Neuroqueerness

Hello, my name is George Muniz Gund (he/they). I am a young Brazilian American autistic and ADHD actor, disability justice advocate and board member at Autism Career Pathways (501c3). 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. **TRANSCRIPTS AVAILABLE on APPLE PODCASTS PLATFORM (working on adding to Spotify as well) Check out my website https://www.georgemunizgund.com/
