Thank you for sharing that with us. Is this something you have recently discovered that you would like to do or have you known for a while? Also, can I ask, if you know how you want to go about this or is this something you're still exploring?

TwilightStarDragon Posted May 30, 2024 Author Share Posted May 30, 2024 I have wanted to be a neurodiversity advocate/activist since i read the spectrum girls survival guide by siena castellon actually i think it was before then i think i read about her in a book called wonderfully wired brains and found out she founded neurodiversity celebration week when she was like 16 only 2 years older than i am now. I was brought up surrounded by books being encouraged to read so that's where that came from. I am going to start a podcast and a blog 1 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/topic/7738-greetings-neurotypicals-and-neurodiverse-people/#findComment-106464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was brought up surrounded by books being encouraged to read so that's where that came from. I am going to start a podcast and a blog That's brilliant - it sounds like you already have a plan! Will you be focusing on both things at once or do you think you'll focus on one thing first? I have heard of Siena Castellon and it is truly inspiring, what she has already managed to achieve and how her work is making a difference. I haven't read any of her books yet but will be adding her to my reading list. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/topic/7738-greetings-neurotypicals-and-neurodiverse-people/#findComment-106510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blog is going to have lots of diagrams and images as lots of neurodivergent people find visual learning easier it also just more interesting. Also another inspiration of mine is Chloé Hayden who is an australian disability advocate and motivational speaker as well as an actor she has also written a book called "Different, Not Less" which is amazing That's great that you already know exactly what you want to do. I agree, I also think that it makes it more interesting when you have diagrams and images, rather than just text. It also makes it easier to read somehow when it's broken up like that. I have heard of Chloe Hayden but mainly through her acting. I didn't realise that she has also written a book - great title. Thank you for letting us know. I will add her name to my list of books to read. Are there any other books you would recommend?

That's brilliant, thanks so much for the update. Sounds like people are really interesting in what you have to say Do you find that it gets easier the more posts you write or are you starting to run out of things to say and it therefore takes longer to come up with the next post? Also, do you have any tips for others who might be thinking about writing their own blog?
