    Neurodivergence… a topic that is often on our lips but rarely spoken about with a ‘real understanding’ is the subject of Episode 2 as is our incredible guest.

    In this enlightening episode of The Talking Heads, I sit down with Danny Raede, a trailblazer in the neurodiversity space. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD in his early teens, Danny Raede shares his personal journey from confronting societal assumptions to becoming a founder of several impactful ventures—Asperger’s Experts, Wonder Rock Travel, and most recently, Off Map, a UK-based neurodiversity consultancy.

    Whether you’re a parent, teacher, employer or simply curious about lived experiences of neurodivergence, this episode is jam packed with actionable insights, empathy, and inspiration!

    To reach out to Danny directly his website is offmap.co.uk.

    The theory that is mentioned in our discussion was ‘The Polyvagal theory’ by Dr. Stephen Porges.
