The Paraplanners' Assembly Podcast

A paraplanner's guide to neurodiversity


Listen Later

We all occupy our place in a neurodiverse world.

But if the way we think is plotted on a spectrum, most of us would be considered 'neurotypical'.

Yet plenty of us - at least 1 in 10 in the UK - function, learn and process information differently from the neurotypical.

So we may be neurodifferent but, despite thinking differently, we're expected to adapt and succeed in a world that's geared towards neurotypical people.

Inspired by a post and thread at The Big Tent, we invited consultant and founding director of About Consulting Group, Jon Dunckley to join Richard to talk about neurodifference and paraplanning.

In a really absorbing, practical and illuminating hour, Jon - who is autistic - offers insights and ideas that will be invaluable to you if you're neurodifferent, or work with, live with or know people who are.
