I was very grateful for the opportunity to interview Dr. Muhammad and her child about life as a neurodivergent family. They discuss neurodivergent joy, challenges and positives of being a neurodivergent family, and what it's like to navigate the school system and accommodations (as well as the need for reduced bullying).
Dr. Muhammad is also the founder of the North Carolina Black Disabilities Network: https://www.nc-bdn.org/
