The Neurodiversity Paradigm: Challenges, Gifts, and Overlaps with Mental Health
Friday, Oct. 10, 10 a.m. | Building G, Room 110A
Do you know someone with sensory processing sensitivity, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or another form of neurodiversity? Research estimates that 15-20% of the population is neurodiverse, so the answer is probably YES! During this presentation, a counselor with lived experience will present on the overlap between the neurodiversity paradigm and supporting our own and others’ mental health.
This event repeats on the following days:
- October 06, 2022 at 1:00 pm | Building U, Room 111
