About the Host

​

I’m Paul, the host of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast.

 

I’m not a clinician, researcher, or professional expert — and that’s intentional.

 

I come to this work as a neurodivergent individual with lived experience. I know what it feels like to navigate systems that weren’t designed for how your mind works, to question your own capacity because of labels, and to search for language that actually reflects who you are, not just how you’re measured.

​

This podcast exists because too many conversations about neurodiversity happen about us, rather than with us.

 

How This Podcast Is Different

​

Unlike many podcasts in this space, The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast isn’t built on credentials or clinical authority. It’s built on listening, reflection, and shared humanity.

​

I don’t position myself as an expert with answers. I show up as a facilitator of stories — asking curious, grounded questions from the perspective of someone who lives this reality every day.

​

That means:

• Conversations aren’t rushed or overly polished

• Guests aren’t reduced to diagnoses or achievements

• Complexity, contradiction, and uncertainty are welcome

• Lived experience is treated as valid knowledge

​

Whether I’m speaking with educators, parents, authors, creatives, researchers, or other neurodivergent individuals, the focus is always the same: seeing the person before the label.

Why Lived Experience Matters Here

​

Being neurodivergent shapes how I listen, how I notice patterns, and how I hold space. It allows me to ask questions that come from recognition rather than assumption — and to create conversations that feel safer, slower, and more honest.

​

This isn’t a podcast about fixing people.
It’s a podcast about understanding ourselves, our systems, and each other more clearly.

If you’re looking for expert opinions, you’ll find many excellent shows.

If you’re looking for real conversations, grounded in lived experience and mutual respect, you’re in the right place.
