Croak

The lads (Aryan, Shriyans, Vihaan) have riveting discussions about neurodiversity and how we can create a more inclusive environment for everyone; we represent the Richard Montgomery High School branch of My Neuro-Corner, a youth advocacy organization partnered with the Stanford Neurodiversity Project.

Representation & Media

Joined by friends of the program Shuchi Tyagi, Logan "Paul" Tannenbaum, and Liliana Joy Katz-Hollander, we explore a few case studies of representation of neurodivergent people in the media. *note that The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was published in 1892, not the early 1900s.

ABA "Therapy"

The Lads & Co. explore the horrors of ABA and discuss the perennial question: what is to be done? Forgive the (honestly impressive) quack at the end, that was in fact Aryan and not Toad (contact us if you find them, dead or alive).

Croak II: Revenge of the Toad

We're back! (Whether or not we're better than ever is up to your discretion.) This one's a bit unserious (many a cut was made), sit back and bask in the glory of Ginger's magnificent design. Do not bask in Jessica shoving the mic through our esophagi; we will be pressing charges. To clarify, Francis and Aryan are Shriyans+ and Shriyans- respectively. ABA will be next, we decided to split the recording into two episodes to give the topic the gravity it deserves.

Education & Neurodiversity

Our lord descends from his holy perch to grace us with his presence! Club sponsor Dr. Karl Kovacs IV bestows upon us his sparkling insights in an interview about neurodiversity in the classroom setting.  The lads meander about on their noble quest to learn and spread awareness, this time finding themselves in the fearsome environment of the high school classroom, and we are joined by beloved club president Jessica Joy Wang, who engages in some laddish fun.  We sincerely apologize for our lateness; to repent, we hereby take an oath (forged in blood!) to try harder. If Hannibal could cross the Alps, the timely continuance of Croak shall fell Rome itself. VENI VIDI VICI, CROAKERS.

What is Neurodiversity?

An introduction to the concept of neurodiversity and a discussion on terminology associated with it. (This goes along with a lot of what we talked about in the previous MNC meeting) Guest star Shuchi Tyagi nearly forgets her name (and Dorothea Dix's date of birth) as Shriyans fails to restrain his profane, wanton whims. [This is why there were so many abrupt cuts] Aryan serenades us with croaks from hell and Vihaan supplements them with onomatopoeia reminiscent of Prometheus getting his liver perpetually eaten by vultures. Godspeed to all who make it to the final minute, and God Save the Lads. Excuse the ambient Rockville Library tomfoolery, perchance our redeemed audio quality counterbalances it?
