Every neurotypical needs to hear this... why neurodiversity makes our society stronger
Let's be honest... Society wouldn't be able to function without its spicy and spectacular neurodiverse population. This week on the podcast is all about celebrating the ADHD brain in all its glory!In honour of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, I'm exploring the gifts of ADHD from all angles with my favourite Neurotypical... my husband and Co-Founder of Future ADHD, Eric.This is the perfect episode to share with the NT in your life, to help them get a greater understanding of the ADHD experience.Eric and I talk about:
Why it's so important for neurotypicals to be educated on neurodiversity and how they can be good allies
Where the word neurodiversity came from and its etymology
Why diversity in brain types matters and why it makes society stronger
Why we need a balanced view of the strengths & challenges (which is why we're devoting a whole episode to strengths today - whooo whooop!)
What does it actually mean to celebrate neurodiversity?
How we make our company a ND-affirming and flexible workplace
And more!

Om Podcasten
Future ADHD is a podcast hosted by Grace Koelma, Founder & Educator at Future ADHD. Future ADHD exists to serve neurodivergents who have a deep sense that — while they struggle with self regulation and executive functioning on a daily basis — they’re not flawed or disordered, but rather living in a fast-paced world that wasn’t designed for their brain.
Being diagnosed with combined type ADHD at 33 helped make sense of my entire life — and while I wholeheartedly support an empowered and strength-based approach to ADHD, I also hold space and honour the daily complexity and difficulty of being neurodivergent in a world that isn’t designed for us.
Over decades, we have accumulated layered self-beliefs and negative messages that plague us — after a lifetime of feeling misunderstood and simultaneously too much, and not enough.
Know this... There is so much that can be done to help you find balance, clarity and homeostasis (and no, your ADHD is not something that needs to be cured - it’s the key to unlocking your greatest wholeness and potential). I know, because I’m walking that journey alongside you.
If this resonates for you, and you want to join a community of brilliant, like-minded people, and learn more about your neurodivergent mind, then come along.
Join me for a new episode or interview each week, as I explore methods backed by science, including polyvagal theory & nervous system nourishment, breathwork and self care, planning & organisation, neural plasticity & unconscious programming, mindset and self-perception, and habit forming.
