A Beautiful Mind

What’s This Podcast
About?

What image comes to mind when you think about someone living with neuro distinction? Is it that it is an illness that can be cured? or that neurodistinct people struggle to hold down a job? Or that people identifying with the same 'labels' require the same supports? Even though we’re hearing more and more about neuro distinction, many ‘go-to’ stereotypes remain, which aren’t super helpful if you’ve just been diagnosed or are wondering how to help someone who has. A Beautiful Mind takes you way beyond the stereotypes and into the minds and stories of people living with neurodistinctions. Data storyteller Dr Selena Fisk meets people with a diagnosis, a mental health condition or an addiction who explain what it’s like to live with these labels, and share the path they're on as they navigate workplaces and communities who struggle to know how to best support them. These are powerful, hard hitting, and real stories, giving anyone who listens deep insight, empathy and a beautiful reminder of what it is truly like to be authentically human.
