Neuroqueer Histories: Art, Identity & the Power of Representation with Drew Pettifer

This week Jacinta and Lachlan talk to artist and academic Drew Pettifer. As an austistic ADHDer, Drew chats about growing up queer and neurodivergent, finding connection through creativity, and why telling overlooked stories—especially queer ones—matters so much (as well as the intersections between queer identity and neurodivergent identity). 
It's a fascinating interview and was a pleasure talking with Drew. You're bound to learn something along the way!
