Mitch Wallis Podcast

Sonny Jane is a multi-neurodivergent, queer, and disabled public speaker, advocate, and author with a strong social media presence. Sonny was diagnosed as a child and grew up only hearing a deficit narrative about their neurodivergence. Since then, they have gone on to build an audience of over 100,000 people online, have written ‘The Neurodivergent Friendly Workbook of DBT Skills’, and works with organisations all over Australia to help change the narrative around neurodivergence. Sonny is a brilliant educator and all-round wonderful human.

• Sonny's journey to self and being exposed to psychiatric care as young as 4
• the difference between mental health disorders and neurodivergence
• breaking down ADHD, autism, and mental illness - are labels helpful or harmful?
• why suddenly everybody seems to be getting a late ADHD diagnosis
