20. S3, Ep1: PhD student Jessica Dark talks late diagnosis, neurodivergent families, and advocating for our community

Update: 2023-03-09

Description

Currently studying a PhD in organisational psychology and neuro-inclusive practices in education and the workplace, Jessica Dark has done much to support the Neurodivergent Community over many years.

She is an incredible producer of educational and inspirational content on social media, and I have learned so much from this generous advocate for our neurodivergent community.

In this episode, she talks about her late diagnosis journey, life in a neurodivergent family, and her experience of being an advocate.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it!
