Summary

In this episode, Gretel clarifies the terms and concepts related to neurodiversity. She explains that neurodiversity refers to the diversity of brains and ways of thinking and responding to the world. She distinguishes between neurotypical individuals, who think, feel, and behave similarly to most people, and neurodivergent individuals, who think, feel, and respond to the world in a different way. Gretel also introduces the concept of the pathologizing paradigm, which views neurodivergent individuals as needing to be fixed or adjusted to fit into society. She emphasizes the importance of embracing difference and changing the current paradigm to allow everyone to live authentically.
