Are You Listening? is now on season 4! We’re so excited to be starting off with Health Watch Oxfordshire supporting the beginning of this podcast and this third episode is all about Neurodiversity.
Trigger Warning: Suicide, Depression, Anxiety, Self-Harm, Eating disorders, Abuse, Ableism, Racism, Police Brutality
Hamzah (He/Him) is joined by Molly (She/Her) to explore Neurodiversity. This insightful conversation touches on topics such as the gender diagnosis gap, racism and ableism built into society. They specifically hone in on how professionals can support them and other young people. This is an episode that everyone should listen to, especially if you’re trying to dismantle the internalised ableism. With 1 in 7 people being neurodiverse (15%), this is an important conversation to be had.
