In this episode of Filthy Hope, hosts Rev Ness Williams-Henke and Rev Jon Humphries continue their conversation with Lynda Humphries, this time diving into neurodiversity: what it actually means, why ADHD has been so misunderstood, and what genuine inclusion looks like in schools, workplaces, and faith communities.

Lynda shares her family’s personal journey with ADHD, unpacking why girls so often go undiagnosed, what educators can do differently, and why the church needs to move well beyond tolerance. They argue that the burden of adjustment shouldn't fall on those who are already struggling, but on those in the "easier space" to create a culture where everyone can truly belong.#FilthyHope #ChristianPodcast #Neurodiversity #ADHD #InclusionMatters #ChurchAndNeurodiversity #ChurchCulture #FaithAndMentalHealth #BeyondTolerance #FaithNoFilter
