Episode 1: “I feel the need… the need for NeuroInclusion!” – Autism and Early Years

James Kenyon sits down with his co-host, 'Top Gun' fanatic, James 'Maverik' Hollis to explore Maverik’s undiagnosed autistic childhood. From sensory overload and emotional explosions to the passions that kept him flying high — this is the authentic story of a proud autistic voice.

In this episode:

• Maverik on growing up neurodivergent in the 90s
• The frustration of being a “slow learner”
• Finding control through imagination and curiosity

Key Takeaway: Early support could have changed everything.

#NeuroInclusion #AuDHD #AutismAwareness #Neurodivergent #UKPodcast

Let it be known that we, Messrs’ James Hollis and James Kenyon, have now officially launched our NeuroDivergence and NeuroInclusion Podcast -

The NeuroPod.

As proud AuDHD North East of England graduates, come and join our dynamic duo where we will discuss all things NeuroDivergence and NeuroInclusion as we tour the Northern UK heartlands, and continue the conversation internationally across the English Channel in some of Europe’s most historic cities.

But remaining with the United Kingdom to begin with, we are delighted to announce that the first stop on our epic Neuro-Odyssey will be….Liverpool!

Ever wondered what to do with the rest of your NeuroDivergent lives once you leave school or graduate from university? Want to deal effectively with an annoying line manager while still thriving in your career? Want to know who’s in and who’s out when dating and seeking NeuroDivergent romance?

If you’re enticed by all of these prospects and more, don’t delay - follow our YouTube page as we debate and discuss NeuroDivergence with our lively discussions, Q&A sessions, and special guest appearances. And may we also give advanced notice of our much anticipated departure from King’s Cross Platform 9 3⁄4 for what promises to be a tour de force of NeuroDivergent Hogwarts.

In the meantime, please enjoy a short clip from our first introductory discussion where we give our listeners an idea of the hopes that we have for The NeuroPod.

Finally, please give this post a like and a share if you think that your network connections may benefit from learning about The NeuroPod or if you are keen to support our vital work in spreading our positive message of NeuroDivergence and NeuroInclusion.
