The Strengths of Neurodiversity with Cian Twomey

This week on The Mind Full Podcast we are so excited to bring you an incredible guest in the form of one of social media’s content pioneers. For the last 12 years, Cork man Cian Twomey has been a comedy content creator, focusing mainly on character sketches depicting hilarious real-life scenarios. Over all social media platforms, Cian has gathered over 9 million followers, with his videos exceeding a total of 4 billion views. That is mind boggling! Despite his enormous audience, Cian does not do many interviews. This is only his second ever long form interview and the very first time he has spoken in depth about his recent ADHD diagnosis. 

The Strengths of Neurodiversity is our topic for today and I’m also delighted to be joined by clinical psychologist and star of TV’s Operation Transformation Dr. Eddie Murphy. Eddie has such a great mind and a great way of making complex concepts accessible and we’re going to do our best to make the area of neurodivergence including the likes of ADHD as understandable as possible. 

If ADHD or neurodivergence is something that you or a loved one are navigating at present and you’re curious about what it means, how it’s experienced, the road to diagnosis and what the benefits and strengths of neurodivergence are then this is the place to be.

Dermot Whelan Live – The Busy and Wrecked Tour is coming to a theatre near you from Jan 2nd 2025.

Tickets are on sale now so check out dermotwhelan.com for all the details and I can’t wait to get back out on the road and meet you all. The show will be a mix of comedy, craic, meditation and inspiration and hopefully an evening where you can relax and have a laugh and pick up some useful and fun tools too. If you’ve been feeling wound up, worn down, snowed under or bowled over this is the show for you so grab your stressed-out besties and your bedraggled partners, and join me as I travel all over Ireland and beyond and we’ll un-wreck our heads and destress our lives together. Incidentally, I love to see teenagers at my shows too - you just gotta be over 14.
