    Description: In this illuminating episode of The Neurodivergent Musician Podcast, hosted by Jon Hart, we explore the world of songwriting and composing through the lens of neurodivergence. We kickstart our journey by celebrating our unique neurodivergent identity, a powerful gift that infuses our creative process with innovation and ingenuity. Drawing insights from psychology, we delve into how our diverse thought patterns enrich the tapestry of music we create. Moving forward, we delve into the science of inspiration, taking a deep dive into the intricacies of our neurodivergent brains. Neuroscience has unveiled that our exceptional minds excel in recognizing patterns and forming connections. These innate abilities become the wellspring of captivating melodies and harmonies that enthrall our audiences. Crafting a distinct sound palette is our next destination. Here, we draw from psychology and explore the fascinating world of synesthesia, where sensory sensitivities manifest in the exquisite layering of emotions within our compositions. As neurodivergent musicians, our unique perspectives give rise to music that transcends traditional boundaries, resonating deeply with both ourselves and our listeners.

    Wheels On My Back

    Release Date: 03/28/2021

    Authors: Jess Edelstein

    Description: Wheels On My Back is a first hand account about growing up neurodivergent and navigating a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent (#actuallyautistic, #actuallyadhd) adult with CPTSD. Because despite the many myths, misconceptions, and stigmas that dominate the mainstream narrative, neurodivergent kids grow into neurodivergent adults - often with a lot of trauma, internalized ableism, and shame to unpack. On this podcast, I’ll explore the burgeoning neurodiversity paradigm and why it matters to adults like me whose oft-overlooked perspectives can vastly improve the mental health of neurodivergent kids and their families. We care because we know them - we are them. Thank you for listening!
