BRAND NEW, from the F Them Fish studios... WILD VOICES! Global Neurodiversity Update

In this inaugural episode of the WILD podcast, hosts Callie Elward-Barrett, Jayne Gurton, and Troy Heland introduce the ND WILD movement, a global initiative aimed at amplifying neurodivergent voices. They discuss their personal journeys with neurodivergence, including late diagnoses and the importance of community support. The conversation highlights the intersectionality of neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ identities, particularly in the context of the upcoming Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, where they plan to participate with a group of neurodivergent and queer individuals. The hosts emphasize the need for inclusivity and accessibility in large events, aiming to create a sensory-friendly environment for all participants.
