Living the Neurodivergent Dream
For years, Nathan Whitbread managed to cover up the fact that he didn’t think in the same way as his classmates and work colleagues.
He explains what happened and how things changed when he decided to get his thinking style ‘diagnosed’ and was told “Well at least you’re not thick”.
