Pt 3 - TCKs & NEURODIVERSITY: TCKs Tell Their Stories

[Please consider viewing the YouTube video of these interviews instead of merely listening to them! Seeing the participant's faces will enhance the experience of hearing their stories!]In this third segment of the series on TCKs and Neurodiversity, we meet eleven adult TCKs and get the chance to learn directly from them about how their lives have been shaped by autism, OCD, ADHD, and other brain differences. They honestly and compellingly answer questions about the assets and blessings of their diagnoses, about what they've learned and how they're finding ways to live well in a world that often isn't built for them. They also outline what they wish they'd known sooner, and offer nuggets of hard-won wisdom to other TCKs who are neurodivergent.All three installments of this series—in podcast, video, and written forms—are now available from the same page.
