Come and listen in with Bryden Carlson-Giving, OTD, OTR/L, as he dives into the Neurodiversity Multiverse as editor of the book Neurodiversity-Affirming Occupational Therapy: Empowering Approaches to Foster Neurodivergent Participation.

You will be introduced with what neurodiversity is and what it isn't and learn about disability culture, with some examples of cultural norms for some different Neurodivergent communities.
