Neurodivergence Matters - Myths & Evidence Neurodivergence is surrounded by myths—some dismissive, some harmful, and some stubbornly persistent despite substantial scientific evidence. In this episode of Neurodivergence Matters, Stephen Harrison explores where these myths come from and why they continue to shape public attitudes toward autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent conditions. Drawing on research, real-world examples, and his own lived experience as a neurodivergent person and parent, Stephen challenges ideas such as “we’re all like that,” “autism is rare,” “ADHD is laziness,” and “autistic people lack empathy.” He also explains why neurodivergence is not a mental illness, why “neurotypical” is an ideal rather than a reality, and how better diagnostics explain rising identification rates. This episode is for neurodivergent adults, parents, educators, leaders, and helping professionals who want a grounded, evidence-based understanding—without hype, blame, or oversimplification. If this episode resonated with you, you’ll find additional neurodivergence-related resources and ways to connect with Stephen at https://thrivalcoaching.nz Play Episode
