The Art of Being Authentically You with Murphy Monroe

Send us Fan MailMurphy Monroe struggled early in life. His undiagnoised autism made him "different." Not just in the classroom, but in life. He knew he was different. He knew his brain processed things differently. Murphy just didn't know what that difference was. His late (adult) diagnosis didn't necessarily change Murphy's life, but gave him confirmation that he was different.Murphy, Leta, and Amanda also discuss the importance of understanding neurodiversity, and the importance of letting people be their authentic self.We also explore the intersections of autism, neurodiversity, and the arts, particularly through the lens of Murphy's circus school. They discuss the importance of creating inclusive spaces for neurodiverse individuals, the role of listening and adaptation in fostering these environments, and the significance of representation in the arts. The conversation also touches on the challenges and progress in making educational and artistic spaces more accessible, as well as the empowerment of the next generation to take on leadership roles in these areas.You can find Murphy on his website https://www.murphymonroe.com/Support The Actors Gymnasium (Murphy's nonprofit circus school) by donating today https://www.actorsgymnasium.org/Murphy and Leta's Tap Styles were "matched" on PodMatch, an amazing site that helps match podcasters with guests.
