“What exactly does it mean to be neurodivergent?” That’s just one of many thoughtful questions tackled by Professor Matt Lerner from the AJ Drexel Autism Institute in this video from Wired’s Neurodivergent Support.
From what stimming really is, to how dyslexia and ADHD actually affect the brain, to whether “Love on the Spectrum” is a good representation, Lerner breaks down complex topics with clarity, compassion, and even a bit of humor. He also addresses tricky myths, TikTok self-diagnostics, and why autistic people may mask their behavior just to fit in.
Whether you’re neurodivergent or just curious, this is a must-watch!
