Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 420:A Bonus Conversation with Jonathan Mooney About "Normal Sucks," the Neurodiversity Movement, and More · 27 Dec 2024 podcast

Yeah, that's a phenomenon that I'm experiencing in my own personal life with...

I was like, dude, I know you're neurodivergent.

I know it.

Wait till your kid gets into third grade and you start going down this road and we're going to have a heart-to-heart.

There's been a lot of that in my own parenting community.

I got three kids.

Unemployment, underemployment for the neurodivergent is a national crisis.

And discrimination in the workplace because of brain differences is endemic in our private sector, public sector places of work.

And so there's a whole movement of folks who are out there advancing the conversation of not just learning differently, living differently, but working differently.

And there's a whole emerging movement, this is a kind of step forward, maybe half step back, who knows, someday is a full step back, that is leveraging DEI constructs, and integrating neurodivergence within those DEI constructs, to build inclusion, to build working environments that don't just work for some brains, but work for all brains.

And ultimately,
