Embracing Uniqueness: Lessons from Neurodiversity and Pandemic Puppies

Rethink Your Rules

Send us a Text Message.

This week, I'm revisiting a popular episode from last year, along with fresh insights from a recent neurodiversity conference,
The original episode ("Would You Rather be Unique or Normal?") was based on an eye-opening conversation with my child about our pandemic puppies. His unique perspective, shaped by autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, encouraged me to question some of my most deeply held beliefs about the importance of fitting in.
It also illustrates the idea of being neurodiversity-affirming: viewing differently wired brains not as problems to be solved, but rather natural variations with unique strengths... as well as unique challenges. As we delve into this topic, we'll question whether being "normal" should be the ultimate goal, and explore the inherent value of embracing diversity.
So please join me and get inspired to embrace the uniqueness in yourself and others!
