Meeting #2 | Different Minds, Shared Stories: What We Do(n’t) Know About Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity refers to the natural differences in how human brains function. In this meeting, we will focus on two key conditions belonging to this category: autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

To help you prepare, we've selected a range of books, articles, videos and more. You may also bring your own texts and join a discussion about the features, challenges, and beauty of neurodivergent minds.
