Engaging and Communicating in the Neurodivergent Community

Emily is a science writer, AuDHDer, and ND-affirming coach.

They share online about neurodivergence topics and accuracy in science journalism as The Neurodivergent Well.

In this episode, we talk about best practices as a consumer of science info online, especially via social media. If you don't have time or capacity to read journal articles, what CAN you do?

Emily shares multiple approaches to being a better online citizen when we take in and share information.

There's also a lovely bit about the complexity of identity, and whether the labels we use are accurate and useful.

p.s. Emily has a doctorate in the Philosophy of Science, and over 10 years professional experience in writing and editing
