About this listen

Conversations with neurodivergent people sharing a glimpse into their minds and lives. Neurodivergent = Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Asperger's syndrome, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), dyslexia, and more. My hope is to (1) help people gain greater awareness and understanding of the neurodivergent people in their lives, and (2) help neurodivergent people connect with and be inspired by other neurodivergent people.Tanner Braden Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health
