Delighted to welcome my guest for my Neurodiversity Stories Topic of talk - Neurodiversity Empowerment In The BAME CommunityGuest : Tola AweTopic of focus: Neurodiversity in BAME communities.A brief bio and the subject of Tola' s story I am a passionate advocate for acing Neurodiversity, and I am currently studying a doctorate on BAME adults with Neurodivergence. As a consultant, I empower organisations and individuals to embrace the unique strengths that Neurodiversity can bring and provide practical strategies, guidance, and resources to help my clients thrive or support others to thrive in a Neurotypical world. As a Neurodivergent with adult diagnosis, I have experienced the challenges of living with Neurominority conditions and this helped me start Neurodivace.com to support Neurodivergent black adults, especially women. I believe in fostering self-acceptance and promoting the positive aspects of Neurodiversity to enhance overall well-being and success as many communities around the world do not accept Neurodiversity as a result of strong cultural and religious beliefs - this affects employee satisfaction and productivity. My approach revolves around awareness and workplace culture, encouraging Neurodivergent staff and helping them build self-awareness, manage executive functions, and develop effective communication and social skills. As a firm believer of leading change, I am actively involved in workshops, training, support groups, and facilitating meaningful connections within the Neurodiversity community. Through ongoing research and education, I stay up to date with the latest research and interventions, ensuring I provide the most relevant and effective guidance.www.neurodivace.com , Inst: @neurodivace Come and join us to hear Tola's incredible story ๐ We're thrilled also to share that International Dyslexia Learning Solutions Ltd proudly sponsors Neurodiversity StoriesInternational Dyslexia Learning Solutions Ltd is on a mission to break down barriers for students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and varying levels of ability worldwide, all thanks to their specialised educational software.๐ Curious to know more?Dive into their brand-new website and explore the incredible products they offer.Join us in supporting inclusive education!Check it out: https://www.idlsgroup.comMy aim with Neurodiversity Stories is to educate, inspire and motivate people to see a different side to Neurodiversity ๐ Please like , share and subscribe for more videos around #Neurodiversity ๐ And also please check out the website: https://www.neurodiversitystories.com/ Also listen tour podcast on the following channels :https://www.neurodiversitystories.com...

Lucy Kemish
Topic of talk - Topic - Overcoming My Dyspraxia Challenges !
Lucy was Diagnosed with a subarchnoid cyst in 1999 and as a result diagnosed with dyspraxia. Physical challenges such as stairs (this was a big one growing up) and planning such as essay writing, this is still really difficult for her, One of the biggest challenges is that it is invisible You don't look like you struggle. In 2008, Lucy took on the biggest challenge she had to that date, and went on a month-long expedition to Tanzania and reached the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Lucy then went onto study 4 years of Speech and Language Therapy at City, University of London. Qualified in 2014 and as you can imagine this was a big struggle!! Lucy credits her amazing family, friends and staff at the university who helped her through. Lucy often like's to think that because she's not meant to be able to certain things, it makes her hungry for more! In 2014 Lucy took on another challenge and carried out a tandem skydive for charity. She Passed her driving test, again a milestone! and now drives an automatic.
Lucy says that Job interviews were a nightmare. This was a big challenge for her and felt the way she often articulated herself went against her, Lucy knew she just needed a chance to show what she could do and Landed a job in January 2015 - Unfortunately, after a period of ill health, and had to give this up.
In 2019 Lucy Re-train as a social media marketing manager and set up her own company, LK Digital Marketing.

Topic : Can the Neurotypical design products for the Neurodiverse ?
Stuart Marsden - Experienced project management professional and Chartered Engineer with a PhD in bio-engineering.
Designers and engineers don't always make solutions to their own needs, and have to develop skills to learn to understand what users require. Those making solutions for the neurodiverse aren't always neurodiverse themselves, and even when they are, they'll have different needs and different views. We want to talk about empathy and sympathy and experience, and how these things can enable us to better deliver working solutions to neurodiverse users.
Come and join us to hear Stuart's incredible story.

Growing up in the 1990s, secondary school was a nightmare for him. The victim of bullies and an education system that branded him stupid and brutalised his sense of self-worth, one of the most astonishing things about Darren is that he isnโt bitter or angry. He just wants to make the world a better place for neurodiverse people โ somewhere that values the neurological differences that give people unusual perspectives and the capacity to think outside the box. Darren was not diagnosed with dyslexia until he was 37, but even if heโd had the diagnosis itโs possible it wouldnโt have made much difference to the way the education system would have treated him in the 1990s. He spent most of his school days in โThe Unitโ, a tatty, uninsulated portacabin on the edge of the school grounds where the โproblemโ kids were sent - allegedly to receive additional support, but in practice to get them out of the way. He was not even entered for exams โ he was given colouring books to pass the time while his friends and classmates sat their GCSEs.

Aaron Swan - Topic of talk - "Dyslexia is my strength and is a great advantage in engineering and tech. I
got thinking about the reasons why I am such a sociable person. Is it innate or did I, at some point, make the choice to be that way? I came to some conclusions and realised that my dyslexia had a huge hand in the way I have โturned outโ. As cliche as it is, although I am not defined by dyslexia, I certainly am made by it. Whilst Iโm hoping that the way dyslexia is handled in schools has changed a lot since I was young, I wanted to write something about it in order to highlight that despite being defined as a โspecific learning difficultyโ, it can also be incredibly useful - if you can come out of school with your self confidence intact. Let me explain. I am the third of 4 boys, and when we were younger my parents would have navigated any obstacle in order to fight our corner. My mum tells a story of me coming home in primary 1 (about 5 years old) and telling her that โI wasnโt the same as the other kidsโ. My mum said that she had noticed a difference between me and my brothers, but this was the catalyst that she needed. Being the way she is, she marched into school and told the staff that they needed to work with her to find out what was going on as she wasnโt about to let her son feel โdifferentโ. Sure enough I had all the tests and it came to light that I was โreally quite dyslexicโ.

Dann Casswell - Company Director: Creative Connection Animation Studio
Topic of talk - "Writing Out-loud How being dyslexic helps me to explain."
Iโve always been a communicator. Since school Iโve always loved explaining complicated things in a way that people can understand, often with relatable metaphors that can put abstract ideas into the real world. I love watching them โget itโ. In school people who sat next to me would always go up a set, while I stayed where I was because my written work was so poor. Then one day we took a multiple choice maths exam and I despite being in set two, I got the highest grade in the school, this led to my dyslexia diagnosis. (at Uni they tested my IQ as 137 which would be great if my wifeโs wasnโt 138) I didnโt really learn to study till I got to university where I studied creative writing, and sociology and then an MA in scriptwriting. I also had some creative work read on radio fourโฆ never really had any success in print!
Come and join us to hear Dann's incredible story.

Emma Downer MBA
Topic of talk - "From disguising to thriving with dyslexia"
I was 17 when I discovered I was dyslexic, but it wasn't until I was 28 and I met a dyslexia coach that I fully accepted being dyslexic as part of who I am. Being educated on dyslexia opened up an entirely different and better way of managing the way I work and how I exist in the world. Its now integral in my work as a DIY Educator and as a Life Coach and I am able to help others understand their own ways of working.

Martin Bloomfield
Topic of talk - "Dyslexia: Teaching, Studying, and the Consolation of Philosophy"
Like most people with dyslexia, I was the bottom of the class in most subjects at school. I found school humiliating, confusing, and frightening. And it was this that drove me to becoming a teacher - for two reasons: first, that I wanted to make sure others didn't suffer like I did; and second, that I was excellent at being creative and communicating ideas, and found a niche running extra-curricular drama classes, so that instead of spending my whole time at school hating life, I could at least feel validated by this one "lesson" per week that I ran. But I also became a philosophy student late in life, and discovering what philosophy was "about", allowed me to really flourish and grow in ways that the school system never let me.
Come and join us to hear Martin's incredible story.

Title: Overcoming My Dyslexia By Realising It HAD To Happen
Tricia will share her story :
"I was held back once and almost twice. Diagnosed in second grade. I thought โI was stupid, couldnโt do anything right and everyone hated me.โ Never saw any gifts of dyslexia. Retrained my brain to learn at 38. I thought all was going to go my way- I could learn but one problem. I was still unsure and insecure. Discovered- the trauma due to abandonment by teachers and those I looked up to to help me. I had anger/shame, hatred/grief that needed to be addressed. I did prayer, yoga, affirmations and meditation daily! I can learn, forgiven myself and know it All Had To Happen."

Beatrice Freeman
Story Title : "Different And Highly Valuable - The Autism Spectrum"
Beatrice's shares her own experience and own conclusions and advice how to work with us. The autism spectrum hasn't got a clearly defined picture; you could say the the common denominator is that there isn't a common denominator. This is because all of us have done a different amount of work to overcome the challenges, with a different rate of success, and started at a different point, with with different sensitivity and intelligence. You could say that the autism spectrum is characterised by higher than average IQ and higher than average sensitivity, which makes fitting in extremely difficult. WHich is extremely sad, because we have so much to give but it seems that people are afraid to let us in. I would lke to explain what the world looks like from our perspective and which traits are highly valuable to any employer. I want to encourage everyone to learn to identify what triggers problems (and then in our minds grows to unsurpassable obstacles and panic) - and how easy it is to avoid them. It really is down just to a few things and the rewards of tapping into what we offer are immense. We are rarely welcome and the fact of being welcome makes us happier than you think. Loyalty is one of the features, once we find something that actually works for us, we want to keep it, we want to give to you. It's very easy yet shrouded in a veil of mystery. We are not "ticking bombs" because of the high IQ and high sensitivity, we are not bombs at all, we just want to give and to belong.
Beatrice's story is truly incredible and one not to miss.

Liz ( Day ) Loly - How Neurodiverse children have taught me so much.
As a trainee PE teacher, Liz became interested in dyspraxia and chose to do an assignment about what it is, the effects of it and how to help a child overcome some of the challenges. Then in her first teaching job, she taught a dyslexic boy who she thought was so inspiring and positive in the way he coped with his difficulties. However, on the first parents evening when Liz said this to his parents, they explained that he regularly cried because he thought he was stupid. This developed a passion for ensuring that people with dyslexia and other nuerodiversities knew their strengths rather than being held back by the challenges. Liz then went on to have her own delightfully dyslexic son who amazes her and inspires her all the time with his different way of thinking and empathy.

We need relatable hero's when we are Dyslexics.
Some of us struggle to connect with the multi millionaire as it just seems too far away.
I am interviewing more people like Darren Clark who was a trolley boy at his local supermarket and worked his way up the ranks. He escaped to start his own business and support dyslexics across the world.

I'm absolutely delighted to share with you our next guest Robert Keates Robert will share his journey of being in arts and how he embraced the culture he was in and worked to find his power within his dyslexia which is now fuelling his future as a transformational coach specialising in dyslexia. Also this will bring up how as a society the belief is that people with dyslexia will thrive within the arts and how that limited view is toxic to the progress of the person. This has influenced his research into creating a model for the learners that will help them find bespoke strategies to work with. The main outcome so far is the joy of exploration. My aim is to educate, inspire and motivate people to see a different side to Neurodiversty ๐

Im absolutely delighted to share with you our guest Suzy Taylor
Suzy explains:
I am one of the people who acquired dyslexia/dyspraxia. I can link this back to the illness I had as a child.
I was diagnosed as a child as dyslexic. I did not know about the dyspraxia till later in life. I had an accident after my work one day. This was through a badly parked van. I did not see the car and was knocked down. I broke my leg 3 times and fractured my ankle. This meant surgery and a period of time off work. After returning to work I had a lot of problems. I had not realised my dyslexia was a problem. It had taken months to work out that dyslexia was a problem. I was working in administration and faced years of no support and discrimination. This led me to have a nervous breakdown and left the place I had worked for 20yrs. Through this I had support from Dyslexia Scotland. I have manged to get my SCQF level 8 in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Done courses with Call Scotland to aid people with dyslexia through technology.

Have you ever got on the plane โ๏ธ and then asked to get off and then have armed guards point their guns at you ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
This is just some off the adventure that happened to me last year while traveling to Malawi ๐ฒ๐ผ to raise awareness for dyslexia
Check out the podcast ๐ง
We left off from episode one with Darren having left school with no qualifications, desperate for a job and to find some self worth. Finally he lands himself a 12 hour per week job with Sainsbury's pushing trolleys, after being somewhat flexible with the truth of his grades. Today we discover how that journey took him from that position to a regional manager for Tesco, and his continual battle with depression and imposter syndrome.ย
In this first episode Kelly Holbrook interviews Darren Clark who shares with us a frank account of being a child with un-diagnosed dyslexia. We explore the crime, violence and bullying alongside the stereotyping he faced growing up, and the detrimental effect this had on his mental health.
