Listen Later

🦋Welcome to "The ADHD Eavesdrop," where you can be a butterfly on the wall and listen in on my Conversations. 🦋

In this enlightening episode of the ADHD Eaves Drop, we dive deep into the multifaceted world of disability with our special guest, Amy Shaker. Amy shares her journey from academia to disability advocacy, discussing her experiences living with pseudoachondroplasia and how it shapes her view on society's interaction with disability.

Throughout the conversation, we explore the social model of disability, highlighting how societal structures often fail to accommodate diverse bodies and minds. Amy emphasizes the importance of claiming one's disability identity and navigating a world that wasn't constructed for every neurotype. We discuss the various forms disability can take, the impact of societal attitudes, and the ongoing challenges disabled individuals face in everyday life.

Join us as Amy provides insights into her advocacy work, the importance of education around disability, and how individuals can cultivate a strong sense of identity within a world that often marginalizes them. Whether you have a disability yourself or are looking to better understand the experiences of others, this episode is a must listen.
