In this podcast episode, Robyn Lierton speaks with Lanie Polson about neurodiversity. Lanie explains that neurodiversity refers to when someone's brain is wired differently from others, leading to different experiences and ways of processing information. Lanie shares her own experience with neurodiversity and discusses how it can be both a disability and not a disability, depending on the individual. She also provides advice on how to support neurodiverse individuals, such as understanding their need for quiet and repetition. Lanie also mentions the role of dopamine and medication in managing neurodiversity. She emphasizes that being perceived as "high functioning" doesn't mean that someone isn't facing challenges internally.
