I’m currently working on a side project related to my coach training program that has me reading a bunch of books and listening to more podcasts on neurodiversity (and more specifically on ADHD and autism).
This is a fascinating area for anyone interested in brain science, so I thought I would offer my reading and listening list to those of you who might also want to do a deeper dive.
