Flip The Neuro-tive
An interview series project that flips the narrative on neurodivergence, giving another perspective on the lived experiences of Neurodivergent folks.
Did you know 1 person on 5 in the world might be Neurodivergent?
IN THIS INTERVIEW SERIES, LAUDACE GIVES THE STAGE TO NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE ON THEIR LIVES.
Neurodiversity is not a one size fits all
Neurodiversity stands at a pivotal moment, grappling with barriers to unleash its full potential.
The core challenge lies in society's narrow perception of neurodivergent people, necessitating a paradigm shift.
From Superficial Representations To Authentic Amplification
While awareness grows, it often takes the form of surface-level gestures (Hashtags, incomplete representation in awareness campaigns), highlighting the need for genuine commitment to dismantling stereotypes and amplifying diverse voices.
Moving further, Beyond The Selective Attention to ‘Sexy’ Conditions
Popular conditions overshadow the diverse neurodiversity landscape, neglecting equally valid but less sensationalized ones and distorting our understanding of neurodiversity.
From Overseeing Intersectionality to a Real Intersectional inclusion
One significant hurdle that distorts the neurodiversity narrative is the oversight of intersectionality within neurodiversity discussions, sidelining crucial identity dimensions like race, age, and gender!
Sharing neurodivergent success stories won't suffice if the narrative remains in outdated tropes.
That is why this project is brought to you by LAUDACE For Neurodiversity Celebration week (Dates) and Neurodiversity Awareness Month (April).
An innovative interview-series challenging stereotypes and reshaping perceptions by addressing deficit framing, societal exclusion, and stereotypical presentations of neurodivergents.
We celebrate and support neurodivergent individuals, advocating for their inclusion across all stages of life.
