Navigating the Rhythms of Neurodiversity and Society

I recently discovered two papers by a group of researchers who are working on establishing a field of Critical ADHD Studies, and a couple of them were down to chat with me about it!

Hanna Bertilsdotter-Rosqvist is a sociologist and a professor in Social Work at Södertörn University and co-editor of the book Neurodiversity Studies, and Lill Hultman is a postdoctoral researcher at Marie Cederschiöld University and senior lecturer in social work at Södertörn University.

We discuss their experiences practicing ADHD collective storytelling, the challenges of being ADHD in academia, what intensity means in their lives, and what they’re most excited to explore in ADHD research by and for ADHDers.
