    Apr 25 2024

    In the seventh instalment of 'Neurotypicals Don’t Juggle Chainsaws', Nic King and Kate Fox talk about the art and challenges of communication from a neurodivergent perspective.

    They explore how communicative norms vary across cultures and what constitutes 'neurodivergent communication'.

    The hosts pose thought-provoking questions about adaptation and mutual understanding: Do neurodivergent individuals find themselves moulding their communication to fit into neurotypical expectations?

    Conversely, how well do neurotypicals reciprocate this effort?

    This episode promises a great discussion about the complexities of interaction within and outside the neurodivergent community, examining the push and pull of conversational dynamics.

    Tune in to unravel the layers of communication that define the neurodiverse world.
