Episode Synopsis

Send us a textHow much influence does language have on our perceptions of ADHD? Explore how societal norms and terminology have contributed to negative biases against neurodivergent individuals, leading to internalized stigma and self-hatred. In this episode of Hypercast, we examine the impact of terms like 'disability' and 'social deficits' and their role in reinforcing harmful perceptions. We also highlight the often-overlooked irony of pathologizing neurotypical behaviors and discuss the urgent need for a shift in how we describe and understand neurodivergent experiences.Melissa's Contact:Email: [email protected] www.likemindcoaching.comBrianna's Contact:Email: [email protected] Us On Instagram
