🌟 NeuroCurious #3: Unlocking Communication
So many misunderstandings in our relationships, workplaces and families trace back to one thing: neurodivergent communication differences. And most of the time, nobody realises that's the root cause. From alexithymia to demand avoidance, processing speed to rejection sensitivity, these are the things that change everything once you understand them in yourself and others.
Whether you're neurodivergent, love someone who is, or want to show up better for the people around you, this is for you. No diagnosis or prior knowledge needed. Just curiosity.
🧠 Why This Matters
The way many neurodivergent people process thoughts, express emotions and connect with others is genuinely different, not wrong, just different. Those differences ripple through our closest relationships, teams, friendships and families, often creating friction nobody can explain.
When we understand what's actually happening, everything shifts.
🛠️ What You'll Learn
Guided by Jess Rad (she/her), national award-winning Founder of The WomenHood, and joined by Ali Hannon (they/them), Alice Peacock (she/they), Kirsti Hadley (she/her) and Atif Choudhury (he/him), this session gives you:
Knowledge: The nuances of neurodivergent communication, accessibly explained, including why misunderstandings go both ways
Mindset: Personal stories from four neurodivergent speakers sharing their Unspoken Stories:
Ali Hannon (they/them) and Alice Peacock (she/they) on navigating OCD within a relationship
Kirsti Hadley (she/her) on life as an ADHD autistic parent carer with an autistic ADHD son
Atif Choudhury (he/him) on neurodivergent communication through a leadership and workplace lens
Toolkit: A panel discussion exploring how to practically navigate communication differences at home and at work
👥 Who Is It For?
Individuals: Exploring neurodivergence, your own identity, or wanting a fresh lens on how you connect with others
Couples, friends and families: Wanting to understand each other better and reduce the friction that nobody could quite name
Managers and team leads: Ready to communicate and connect more effectively with neurodivergent colleagues
HR, L&D and People leaders: Building workplaces where neurodivergent communication is understood, not just tolerated
