Episode 45- Why "labels" are helpful and important for many neurodistinct folks

Unpacking Neuroqueerness by George Muniz Gund and Xenia Rakovshik

Episode notes

In this episode I explain why more people getting diagnosed or identifying as neurodivergent is actually due (in large part) to increased awareness about how certain conditions can present in different people, and not a simple "hype trend" as many people seem to believe. I talk about how better understanding yourself through a diagnosis or identification label can lead to more acceptance and a better quality of life for many individuals like myself

*I do not speak for every neurodistinct person and everyone has their own opinion on this matter.
