Hacking Neurodivergence shares real stories from autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent people around the world. Hosted by Kelsey, each episode explores the strengths, struggles, and self-discoveries that come with living in a world built for the “typical.” Whether you’re ND yourself, late-diagnosed, or just curious about different minds, this show celebrates what makes us different—and why that difference matters.
In today's episode my husband takes on the role of interviewer. I hope you enjoy the episode
