Intersections on the Spectrum

If you want to know about the neurodiversity paradigm and neuroqueering then this is the episode for you! Dr. Nick Walker joins us to discuss her book Neuroqueer Heresies and the foundations, terminology, implications, and leading edges of the  neurodiversity paradigm.

Many autistic people have this habit of observing other people to try to understand what is going on in their mind in order to make sense of the world. Diem Mooney joins this episode to discuss this, how we all have privilege one way or another, the ways in which online learning has helped Diem earn multiple college degrees, and so much more.

Season 2 of the Intersections on the Spectrum podcast is here!  When people co-opt ideas or concepts to meet their own needs it can be really harmful. AJ Link joins this episode to discuss how concepts like critical race theory and say her name have been co-opted and been really harmful to those with marginalized identities. AJ also discusses the impact of social media in spreading misinformation, how the bar exam disproportionately bars access to those with marginalized identities, and his role in shaping human rights in space for the benefits of humanity.
