In this episode of The Neurodivergent Report, Sarah and JQ welcome back Sol Smith, certified autism specialist, author of The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery, and founder of the NeuroSpicy Community!

Curious what’s inside:

• Autonomy and choice are essential for neurodivergent learners

• PDA as a drive for autonomy rather than “demand avoidance”

• “There’s no such thing as an academic emergency…”

• Supporting kids’ special interests as pathways to motivation and resilience

• Importance of self-advocacy skills

However you are able to engage, thanks for being here!

With love, Sarah 💜
