All Things Mental Health
Advocating for yourself
“Life as a Neurodivergent Student” is a new podcast series co-created by Student Minds and All Things Mental Health, designed to explore and share the lived experiences of neurodivergent students in higher education. Drawing on research, clinical insight, and student-led steering groups, the series opens conversations around support, representation and navigating university life as a neurodivergent student. In each episode, students share and reflect on their own, unique, personal experiences, the lessons they have learned and their own opinions about life as a neurodivergent student.
What does self-advocacy look like as a neurodivergent student, and why is it so important? Melody and Evelyn explore this shift: moving from school, where advocacy was often done on your behalf, to speaking up for yourself at university and beyond. The conversation includes legal rights, accessibility tools like communication passports, and practising self-advocacy skills you can take into employment.
