Episode 24: Pride in neurodiversity: a special Podcasthon episode with Tjerk Feitsma

In this special Podcasthon episode of Culture by Neurodesign, Dr Lisa College sits down with Tjerk Feitsma, Director of The Neurodiversity Foundation, to discuss the transformative power of neurodiversity.

Tjerk shares his journey from late diagnosis to becoming a leading advocate, The Foundation’s global impact, and the significance of Neurodiversity Pride Day. We explore why inclusion matters, the misconceptions about neurodivergence, and how workplaces can unlock the potential of all minds.

Listen in for an inspiring conversation about changing narratives, building inclusive workplaces, and taking meaningful steps toward a more neurodivergent-inclusive future.
