Welcome to the first episode of "Explain My Brain" where psychologist Tyla dives into the concept of "neurotypical."
Join us as we explore what it means to have a brain that fits societal norms and why it's essential to understand the diversity of brain types. Discover how the world is often designed for neurotypical brains, yet all brains are unique and valued. Through thoughtful analogies and questions, this episode encourages us to appreciate differences and ensure inclusive environments for everyone. Whether you're neurotypical or neurodivergent, your brain is just right for you!
For curious kids and the grown-ups who support them.
