Diagnosed with ADHD in her mid twenties, host Raelene Sebastian created the NYNT Podcast (thanks to hyperfixation) to connect with the people in this community and to reflect and learn about her own diagnosis. Each episode delves into a range of topics related to neurodivergence, highlighting the unique experiences and challenges faced by real people. Not Your Neurotypical Podcast aims to create an informative, supportive and safe space for neurodivergent individuals and their allies to connect, learn, and grow together. This is a passion project for all things nice and neurospice!

Episode 7 with Patricia: "Is it the person that is disabled, or is the environment that is disabling them?"

Episode 7 with Patricia Falcetta OAM.

"Is it the person that is disabled, or is the environment that is disabling them?"

✶ Patricia is the Founder/Director of Social Living Solutions and creator of the Family Joy Program.
Neurodivergent herself, Patricia’s vision is for a world where people who identify as neurodivergent are accepted, integrated, and recognised as valued members of society. She aspires to remove the misconceptions around neurodiversity and replace ignorance with understanding.
Among her many achievements, Patricia, is an active volunteer in her community and internationally through the Global Goodwill Ambassadors network and as a neurodiversity consultant to the 2023 Gay Games, in Hong Kong. She has been a finalist in both the ACT Chief Minister’s Inclusion Awards for People with Disability. She has recently spoken at the International Conference Autism Network (ICAN), 2023 in Dubai, and was keynote at the OzWater ‘23 conference in Sydney, Australia.
Patricia is such an inspiration to me, and her work is valuable to our community. Just as well, as she was recognised for her work and received the Medal of Order of Australia.
In my conversation with Patricia, we discussed masking, our shared experiences with having an asian background and disabling environments.
I was fortunate enough to meet Patricia personally, and she shared some great advice with me. I cannot thank her enough for her contribution to the podcast and the industry, and I hope you gain insight and learn something! You can find Patricia here, and follow her podcast on Spotify called: Nurturing Neurodiversity
