I’m hoping to head back to SXSW EDU in 2027, and this time, I need your vote!

I’ve been invited to be part of TWO proposed sessions for SXSW EDU 2027, and I’m genuinely excited about both of them for very different reasons.

🎙️ The Exit Interview: Leaving the System, Not the Work

If you know me, you know I love a good podcast. And I have been following (okay, maybe stalking* 😂) Dr. Asia Lyons’ The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators for more than a year.

Now, I’ve been invited to join Dr. Lyons for a live podcast recording at SXSW EDU to talk about what happens when educators leave traditional systems but remain deeply committed to the work of education.

And then there’s session #2...

🎧 Podcasting for Educational Justice

I’ll join Dr. Asia Lyons, Dr. Paul Sutton and Shomari Jones of Coffee with a Little Bit of Cream, and Brooke Folgers of The Innovative Educators Podcast for a conversation about how podcasts and independent media can be used to elevate voices, challenge systems, and address some of the most pressing issues in education.

I think I underestimated the power of podcasting when I first started. But after connecting with podcasters and listeners around the world, it’s impossible not to see the impact these conversations can have. We’re creating space for stories, ideas, and perspectives that might otherwise get missed. The chance to take the stage alongside these brilliant educators and talk about how media can help push important conversations in education forward would be pretty incredible.

Now we need to get these conversations to Austin!

SXSW EDU PanelPicker voting is open, and you can vote for BOTH sessions.

I’ve put the voting link in the comments. If you’re willing, please cast your votes and share this post with your network. 💜

Austin, I really hope to see you again in March. 🤞🏾

“You NEED to listen to this podcast…” 👀🎧

The Joy of Neurodiversity is now streaming on Amazon Music + Audible

Honestly, one of my favorite parts of this journey has been watching people recommend episodes to friends, coworkers, educators, parents, and fellow neurodivergent humans around the world.

22 episodes are already available, and Season 3 is on the way 👀

Now streaming on Amazon Music + Audible.

🎧 The Joy of Neurodiversity is now streaming on iHeartRadio.

One of the things I’ve loved most about building this podcast is watching these conversations reach people across different communities, industries, and parts of the world. Expanding onto new platforms means even more opportunities for people to engage with conversations around neurodiversity, learning, leadership, and belonging.

As we continue building toward Season 3, I’m grateful for everyone who has listened, shared episodes, supported the podcast, and helped this community grow.

You can now listen on:
• iHeartRadio
• Spotify
• Apple Podcasts
• YouTube

Thank you for the outpouring of support since the launch of The Joy of Neurodiversity Newsletter.

The good news is that so many of you have subscribed, and for that I’m truly grateful.

The not-so-good news is that some confirmation emails are not making it to inboxes… and may be living their best life in your spam or promotions folder.

If you’ve signed up and don’t see anything, take a moment to check for an email with the subject:
Important: confirm your subscription

(It might be waiting for you 👀)

Once you confirm, you’ll be all set.

If you’ve already confirmed, you’re good to go.

As we gear up for Season 3 of The Joy of Neurodiversity, I’m excited to officially launch The Joy of Neurodiversity newsletter.

Over the past year, this podcast has grown into a global conversation exploring how different ways of thinking shape learning, leadership, and everyday life. What started as a podcast has become a growing community, and I wanted to create a space to continue those conversations beyond the episodes.

The newsletter is a chance to continue those conversations beyond the episodes through reflections, resources, behind-the-scenes insights, and deeper conversations about the full spectrum of human thinking.

April 2 was World Autism Awareness Day, and I didn’t post that day on purpose.

Awareness days play an important role in helping us notice what has too often been overlooked.

But autistic brilliance is not something that appears for one day a year.

It is already here. In our families, our schools, our communities, and our workplaces.

This collage includes just a few autistic individuals whose work many of us already admire:

Daryl Hannah
Armani Williams
Sia
Sir Anthony Hopkins
Breanna Clark
Dan Aykroyd
Wentworth Miller

Some people know they are autistic. Some people don’t. And many people are still learning what autism actually is.

Autism isn’t something “wrong.” It’s part of the incredible range of ways human brains work.
Awareness matters.

Acceptance matters more.

And creating environments where autistic people can thrive matters most.

Here’s to the autistic thinkers, creators, athletes, artists, and problem-solvers shaping our world every single day. 🌍✨

Neurodiversity Week is coming to an end, and if I’m honest, I almost missed it.

And maybe that says something.

Because for me, neurodiversity has never been something I step into for a week and then step away from.

It’s how I experience the world.
It’s how I learned to read.
It’s how I learned to mask, adapt, and eventually unlearn.
It’s how I now design my work, my voice, and the spaces I create.

Through my work and my lived experience, one thing has become even clearer to me:

Neurodiversity is not a moment.
It’s not a campaign.
It’s not even just awareness.

It is the full ecosystem of human minds.

This includes all of us, while also recognizing and valuing those who are neurodivergent.
And when we design systems for a “normal” mind, we end up managing exceptions.

But when we design for the full range of how people think, process, and experience the world, more people get to thrive.

So whether you posted every day this week or, like me, are just now pausing to reflect, I think the real question is this:

What would change if we designed for neurodiversity all year long?

One year ago, I launched The Joy of Neurodiversity with a simple belief:

That every mind matters.

Over the past year, this podcast has grown into a space for meaningful conversations about dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences, while also exploring the broader concept of neurodiversity and how we define learning, intelligence, and success.

In that time, we’ve released 22 episodes across 2 seasons, featured 21 incredible guests, and recorded a live session at SXSW EDU in Austin.

What I didn’t anticipate was the global reach of these conversations. The podcast is now being heard in over 20 countries and continues to grow, and I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of that journey.

Along the way, the show has been recognized as a Spotify Top Hit, named one of the most talked-about shows of 2025, and is among the most shared podcasts, outperforming 85% of other shows.

More importantly, this work has reinforced something I believe deeply:

neurodiversity is not a niche. It is the full range of human thinking, and our systems should reflect that.

To every guest who shared their perspective, and to every listener who has supported, shared, and engaged with this work, thank you.

If you’ve been listening since Season 1 or joined along the way, thank you. I’d love to hear which conversations have stayed with you.

If you haven’t listened yet, I invite you to start with an episode that resonates with you.

Season 3 is loading. 🎙️

Some children don’t struggle because they lack ability.

They struggle because the system wasn’t built for how they think.

When Toby went to school, he knew something felt different.

He didn’t process the world the way everyone else seemed to.

And instead of curiosity…

he was given labels.

“Stupid.”

But when people are told they don’t fit the system, something interesting often happens.

They learn to build their own.

In this episode of 🎙️ Ep. 21 You Don’t Need Permission to Be Brilliant, Toby shares how being misunderstood pushed him to create his own ways of thinking, learning, and navigating the world.

Sometimes the thing that makes you feel like you don’t belong…

is the very thing that becomes your genius.

I’m heading to SXSW EDU 2026 in Austin, Texas, March 9 to 12.

On March 9, I’ll be recording The Joy of Neurodiversity podcast live.

I’m grateful to be joined on stage by Crista A. Hopp, Dane Ray, and Janet Buckner. Each brings a powerful and necessary lens to this conversation, from executive function to therapeutic insight to policy and lived experience.

Together, we will explore a core truth.

Neurodiversity is not about some minds.
It is the full ecosystem of human minds.

Every mind contributes. Every mind plays a role. Understanding that changes how we design, how we lead, and how we educate.

I’m looking forward to contributing to this larger dialogue in Austin.

If you will be there, I would love to connect.
