Series 7 Episode 7: Neurodivergence and feeling empowered

Hello and welcome this extra special episode of Teachers Supporting Teachers. We continue to record here in Kuching, Sarawak Malaysia Borneo to capture our study tour experince and in this episode I have a special guest, Emma Zainal Abiddin.

Emma is the founder of the NGO ÂÛtsome Kuching. Her NGO’s vision is a world in which the Autistic community is supported by its families and allies to achieve genuine acceptance, inclusion, and active support, and in which Autistic culture and identity is celebrated and nurtured. At Âûtsome Kuching, Emma sets the intention to change the narrative to fit a strengths-based neurodiversity view. Ultimately, her goal is to improve long-term Autistic mental health and well-being for both our current and future generations.

In this episode Stephen also joins us, and we talk about what neurodivergence is, advocating with Autistic adults, connecting, and acceptance. Emma shares some gorgeous insights to help us think differently and be empowered, and we also chat about awareness and knowing you in relation to self-care.
