In this enlightening episode of "Mental Matters hosted by Asekho Toto" we dive deep into the world of neurodivergence with Samantha Foote, a seasoned music therapist whose personal and professional life revolves around understanding and supporting individuals with ADHD and autism. Samantha shares her journey from discovering music therapy in college to her 18 years of experience helping neurodivergent children and adults. She discusses how music can forge new neural pathways, aiding in communication and emotional regulation, and provides insights into the nuanced differences in how ADHD and autism manifest in boys versus girls. Moreover, Samantha opens up about her own experiences as a parent to three autistic children and how she navigates the challenges of ADHD in her personal life. This episode is packed with practical advice on positive discipline, the transformative power of music therapy, and the importance of understanding and inclusivity for those with invisible disabilities.
