Episode 188: Neurodivergence and Creativity Part 1

Notes:

The Verbivore talks about her experience with learning about dyspraxia and mentions that she’d never even heard the word before two (ish) years ago and that it’s a type of nuerodivergent diagnosis that’s not as well known. Here are some of the resources that she‘s found helpful in her journey:

- Dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk Article “Dyspraxia at a glance”

- YouTube Video "Rewiring Dyspraxia from the Brain | Farah Nanji | TEDxLuxembourgCity”

- YouTube Video “Dyspraxic and Fantastic! | Ellie Madeira | TEDxCCGrammarSchool”

Fable mentions the circle graph or pie-chart representation of autism, rather than as a line. Here are some links to articles that talk about this model:
