Neurodivergence is a word we hear everywhere and has gained popularity among those who identify as such. Whether it's ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or some other form of difference from what is called "neurotypical," many might wonder whether the stigma attached to neurological differences has really disappeared. In episode 12 of the podcast Emotional Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success, Jami Carlacio interviews two guests--LaMyra McGee, a licensed school psychologist, and Bob Palacios, a software engineer, on their experience as persons identifying as neurodivergent. Jami herself also identifies as neurodivergent, and as this episode demonstrates, there is more to people than their neurological differences. Are any of us really all that different? Do we need a label to describe how we process information and relate to the world? How might Positive Intelligence help us navigate a complex world where difference is more often seen as "othering" than something to be embraced?
