What Happens When You Finally Understand Your Neurodivergent Brain
Om avsnittet
What if the reason you’re struggling isn’t you, but the systems around you?
This week, I sat down with Jenny Okolo, a mental health occupational therapist and TEDx speaker, who has worked across forensic mental health and the prison system, to talk about ADHD, autism and what happens when neurodivergent people are expected to fit into environments that weren’t designed with them in mind.
We also talk about:
⚡ The 70% rule that can make life with ADHD easier
🏫 How schools, healthcare & prisons can fail neurodivergent people
💼 What your workplace can actually do to support ADHD
📱 When self diagnosis helps VS when it can become harmful
👀 Why someone’s worst behaviour doesn’t tell you their whole story
