EP 69: You Can't Beat a Disability Out of a Child, Even If It's Invisible
Episode 69
Monday, 13 January, 2025

In this episode, I sit down with Linda Gakuru, a neurodivergent parent raising neurodivergent children, to explore the challenges and triumphs of navigating parenting and neurodiversity in Africa. Linda shares her journey of accepting her diagnosis, how it helped her understand herself and her children, and why early diagnosis is so critical. We also dive into the misconceptions surrounding neurodivergence in African cultures, including the harmful belief that it stems from indiscipline. Linda’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of advocacy, understanding, and creating a supportive environment for neurodivergent individuals.
