Ep 354: The Power of Neurodivergent Identity: Story of Giftedness and Growth with Meghan Bonde

Join us as we sit down with Meghan Bonde, a passionate advocate for neurodivergent individuals, to explore her remarkable journey from childhood entrepreneurship to becoming a speech language pathologist. Meghan opens up about her personal experiences of discovering her own neurodivergence and that of her children, shedding light on the crucial need for inclusive learning environments. She provides valuable insights into recognizing early signs of neurodivergence in children, including emotional, sensory, imaginational, psychomotor, and intellectual intensities. This conversation emphasizes the growing awareness and precision in identifying neurodivergence, setting the stage for understanding the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent entrepreneurs.

Listen in as we discuss the importance of language and perspective in embracing neurodiversity and identity. Meghan shares her inspiring TEDx journey, discussing the vulnerabilities of presenting an authentic talk about giftedness and its misconceptions. She reveals how claiming a neurodivergent identity has been empowering, likening it to having a "rainforest mind." Meghan also delves into her work with clients, offering executive function support and inclusive services through neurodivergent accountability partnerships and a six-month program designed to create transformational learning experiences. Engage with these resources to better understand and support neurodivergent individuals, and gain valuable strategies for working with neurodivergent clients and learners.
