During this episode Jodi Carlton will challenge the traditional paradigm of neurodiversity as a “mental illness” or “disorder” and reframe it as an essential aspect of human identity and neurotype diversity. Drawing on emerging research and decades of personal and professional experience with neurodiversity, Jodi will explore how pathologizing neurodivergence perpetuates stigma and ableism whereas embracing neurodiversity as a neurotype fosters acceptance, inclusion, and connection. Through the information shared you will gain insight into the shift away from deficit-based models and toward approaches that celebrate neurodiversity. The information Jodi shares will inspire a fresh perspective, equipping you with tools to foster change.Jodi Carlton, MEd is a neurodiverse relationship expert with over two decades of experience helping individuals and couples worldwide navigate the complexities of neurodiverse relationships.
