This Month: Everything Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia with The Aspie World's Daniel Jones

We take an explorative dive into neurodiversity with the inspirational Daniel Jones, founder of The Aspie World, YouTube sensation, influencer, public speaker and international voice on Autism and other neuro-diverse conditions. We talk about Daniel's story, why he created an evidence based support channel on YouTube and how using his own personal perspectives living with Autism/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) & Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has supported millions of people all over the world, to be able to thrive, not only survive with Neuro-diversity.

We are Joined also by Anthony Hadley (Staffordshire University's student voice for disability support networks) and 1st year student Ella. They share their own perspectives and insights living with Neurodiversity.

We talk with Daniel about how to be open about our conditions, great advice about the support connections offered by our University as well as practical strategies on how to better engage with others when recognising our qualities as well as our needs, in order to get the most out of University life. Whether you are a student, or a member of staff!

This is a great essential listen for everyone interested in learning more about neurodiversity!

We are so grateful for Daniels time and support with this podcast.
