Welcome to the eighth episode of UberNeuro. We find ourselves crossing the pond once again but this time to interview Gretchen Leary (https://www.instagram.com/gretchenleary/). She is an author of two kids books (and more), advocate, blogger, speaker, life coach and a columnist for Activate 4 Autism (https://geekclubbooks.com/gretchen-being-brave/). As if that wasn't amazing enough Gretchen is also CEO and Founder of BostonCalm (https://www.instagram.com/bostoncalm/) - a 501c3 non-profit providing sensory tools to those with #ASD & #Tourette Syndrome in hospitals & schools in MA in the North Eastern US.
We covered a lot of ground during this interview but we just could not stop talking and exploring with Gretchen. We learned that she didn’t talk about sensory issues as a child and remained undiagnosed until 23. Prior to that it had all just been brushed under the rug and dismissed as anxiety. Something we think a lot of people will be able to identify with. Find out what happened next and how Gretchen has built the incredible world above around her.
As ever sharing one's story is valuable for the sharers and those listening, with or without a NeuroDiversity themselves, or indeed for those parenting, mentoring, coaching and working with anyone with a NeuroDiversity.
============================
UberNeuro explores the world of Neuro Diverse Super Heroes.
My son was recently diagnosed with Autism (ASD) and to inspire him my mission is to interview amazing champions and winners from the worlds of business, sports, film & tv, music, etc who have triumphed despite (or often because?) of their neuro diversity.
We will ask them three questions and see where the conversation takes us over 10-15 minutes. What challenge did you face? What happened next? Where are you now?
The only question that remains is who should we interview next?
