In this episode of the Neurodivergent Experience podcast, Jordan flies solo as he is joined by Nadine Honeybone and Raj Chand to discuss the importance of autism-led charities and their upcoming live event, Autistic Minds Cardiff. Nadine shares her motivation for creating the charity, her personal experiences as a parent of a nonverbal autistic child and the challenges she faced in raising her son Thomas. Raj Chand, who is an Autistic Business owner, talks about the need for neurodivergent voices to be heard and respected, the necessity for autistic charities run by autistic people and the importance of creating inclusive spaces and opportunities for neurodivergent individuals to thrive in a neurotypical world.
