NACHOS S4E15 - Curiosity over Cynicism

What if real education is not about memorizing information… but about becoming more human?In this episode of NACHOS, Dr. Dutch Hazlett explores curiosity, neurodiversity, burnout, accessibility, universal design, and the kind of world we are actually building together.Using new research on autism and higher education, this conversation examines the growing “clinical-support gap” between empathy and actual environmental change in schools, workplaces, and society.This episode explores:• Curiosity vs. perfection• Neurodiversity and inclusion• Universal Design for Learning (UDL)• Burnout culture and human flourishing• Accessibility and micro-accommodations• “Refer out” vs. “adjust in”• Human-centered systems• Building the world we actually want to live inBecause awareness alone is not transformation.And curiosity may be one of the most human things we have left.Welcome back, Nachonauts.
