Not all brains work the same, but then that’s the whole point!
It’s Not Just You is a podcast created by students, explaining neurodiversity in way that’s actually understandable.
We’re talking about ADHD, autism, dyslexia, anxiety, and all the other stuff in between, what it is, how to recognize it early, and what it really feels like to grow up neurodivergent.
Each episode dives into signs most people miss, how different brains are wired to think, real stories from parents, caregivers, and experts, and how schools, friends, and families can improve the situation.
In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Wood from the Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area to explore how music therapy helps build communication, confidence, and connection. We talk about the impact of music, movement, and rhythm and how they can create meaningful ways for individuals with Down Syndrome to express themselves.

Episode 1: Your Brain Isn’t Broken—It’s Just Wired Differently
Have you ever felt like you're trying your hardest but still not meeting expectations?
In this first episode, we explore neurodiversity, the idea that there is no single "normal" way for a brain to work.
We talk about why students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent traits often feel misunderstood, how school systems can overlook different learning styles, and why being different doesn't mean being broken.
