We often hear well-meaning advice from neurotypical voices about how neurodiverse people can live happy and successful lives. As psychologists with lived experience of neurodiversity we often wonder: would the advice be different if it came from neurodiverse people?
In Beyond Distracted, we interview neurodiverse people who have found success in their fields not by masking who they are, but by embracing their unique ways of thinking, working, and being.
We explore how they navigate their life and work, manage ADHD and what advice they offer to others hoping to do the same.
Our goal is to challenge the stigma that still surrounds neurodiversity and demonstrate that with the right understanding and support, neurodiverse people can lead interesting, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.
For those newly diagnosed, their families, and the wider community, these stories offer hope, validation, and real-world insight from people who truly understand.
We hope that you enjoy this podcast.
Your hosts, Anthony Brown and Meagan Cooke
