In today’s episode, we’re traveling overseas to chat with a special guest, Jude Morrow, a renowned autism advocate and author. Jude shares his personal journey from the medical model of disability to the neurodiversity lens, and how it has shaped his work in advocating for the rights and dignity of neurodivergent individuals.
We discuss the importance of embracing neurodiversity, the challenges faced by autistic women and girls in obtaining accurate diagnoses, and the need for a shift in language and perception surrounding autism and intellectual disability.
Jude also introduces us to the EndeeSphere app, a revolutionary social media platform designed to connect and support parents of neurodivergent children and neurodivergent adults. He highlights the importance of creating a safe and inclusive space for like-minded individuals to share experiences, gain knowledge, and improve mental health.
So sit back, relax, and join us on this enlightening journey as we explore the world of neurodiversity and celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives of every individual.
