Episode 18 - Autism, ADHD, OCD & Narcissists with Jude Morrow

Jenna 🌿

This week, I get to have a conversation with Jude Morrow. Jude is a highly influential neurodiversity advocate, author, speaker & long-time friend of mine.
.
In this episode we discuss Jude being diagnosed as autistic (although not told until he was 18), having a classroom assistant until he was 16 & how he adapted to becoming a dad aged just 22, to a son with the same autism/ adhd diagnosis as himself.
We spoke about Jude being a social worker for 9 years before he published his first memoir- sharing his experiences as an autistic dad.
.
Jude also speaks of the organisation that he founded - Neurodiversity Training International, which offers autism-focused training, online learning, diagnostics, coaching & consulting. The organization is autistic-led & helps other neurodivergent individuals build businesses rather than simply fitting into neurotypical structures.
.
We recorded this wayyyy back in February, but we thought we lost it! I'm so glad we got it back as it took us so long to get into a room together & I always enjoy Judes' chats 🤍
