      <itunes:summary>I talk with Krista Carvin, RSW, about the concept of neurodiversity and how HSP and ADHD are both neurodivergent identities. Krista shares her personal experience of late-identified ADHD and how living more authentically as a neurodivergent person has enriched her life and become her professional speciality. We discuss how the more typical medical model of care for ADHD and other neurodivergences can provide diagnosis and impetus for accommodations, but doesn&apos;t take into account the natural, wide array of neurocognitive functioning. Krista shares how both the neurodiversity movement and social model of disability highlight how neurotypical standards can be unhelpful, even harmful for neurodivergent folks.
P.S.: We&apos;ll be taking a break for the rest of 2022 and back in January 2023. Have safe and happy holidays!</itunes:summary>
