8. Neurodivergent in a neurotypical world - ADHD with Jessie Bryant


Listen Later

If you aren't already familiar... What is neurodivergency? I hear you ask? By the textbook: anyone who strays from what is considered the cognitive norm. ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, and autism are only a few that the term covers. 

In this episode, model Jessie Bryant comes on to talk about her experience with ADHD, from being young and not understanding why she felt so different, to eventually being diagnosed and gaining a better understanding. From being neurodivergent in an education system that is anything but friendly to ADHD, to the perks that come with it, this episode is hopefully a starter into understanding what so many misunderstand.

In this episode:

- What is neurodivergency?

- How does neurodivergency fit in the mainstream education system 

- What people mis-assume about ADHD

- What actually is ADHD? (And the different types)

- How neurotypical people can be less inconsiderate 

- Jessie's experience of getting diagnosed
