Esther Whitehead shares in this interview about Neurodiversity. We also find out about her life story and find out about her childhood and decision to move to New Zealand, how she got involved in Neurodiversity and what it is that we mean when talking about that term. In particular, what changes might be needed to expand our conversation? I really enjoyed my conversation with Esther and am sure you will as well.
