All Things Mental Health

The neurodivergent study survival guide

All Things Mental Health Season 8 Episode 4

“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. 


In this episode, Arya and Liza create a practical guide to studying with neurodivergence in mind. They share tools for managing time, focus and motivation, and recognising how executive function affects learning. They explore how they have identified their strengths and study with them in mind, along with overcoming barriers in academic systems. This episode offers lived experience-based strategies for surviving and thriving at university.
