An Emsolation Extra Interview Today Em sits down to chat with someone who she says has “taught me more in the last year than anyone”. Their name is Sonny Jane Wise, they are an advocate, public speaker and author of the Neurodiversity Friendly Workbook of DBT Skills and the new book ‘We’re All Neurodiverse’. Their mission is to challenge neuronormativity and build a neurodiversity affirming future, where neurodivergent folks are no longer labelled as disordered. This is part one of a fascinating chat that covers everything from Sonny’s early diagnosis in the 90’s, to the difficulties of their childhood, what it was that encouraged them to choose the life of an advocate and a boundary pusher, and why the creation of capitalism is to blame for creating the neuronormative society all of us are expected to fit into. Get ready for a bunch of mind blowing moments that are bound to challenge and even aggravate you, but all of it is so fascinating and educational, you really will get a LOT out of this conversation.
