    Neurodivergence 101: The Theoretical Showdown

    How do kindness, cognition, and community intersect in the neurodiversity conversation? In this episode, I’m joined by J.Q. Walker as we dive deep into the language, theory, and lived experiences that shape our understanding of neurodivergence. We talk about how something as simple as a fidget toy can reflect a growing awareness of sensory needs... & how the way we talk about what's “normal” plays a powerful role in how neurodivergent individuals are broadly perceived and treated in society. Curious about what else is inside? Defining terms like neurodivergent, neurodiversity, and epistemic injustice Unpacking the 4E theory of cognition Differentiating between charity work and justice work This episode is for anyone interested in how ideas like mental health, identity, and societal norms shape our everyday experience—and what it might look like to reimagine those systems with compassion and curiosity.
