FLAME with Brad Hook
The Power of Neurodiversity
Sandy Hall lives with ADD, dyspraxia and dyslexia — and has turned that lived experience into advocacy that treats neurodivergence as a different operating system, not a deficit.
With mental distress affecting one in three people, Sandy's work focuses on practical, accessible help — including the public programmes she has started running to meet a need the formal system can't. Her own story gives the advocacy its edge: decades of navigating a world designed for other brains, and finding the strengths hidden in hers.
We discuss the strengths that ride along with ADD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, what workplaces get wrong (and could easily get right), and how reframing difference as diversity changes what people attempt. Warm, honest and genuinely useful for anyone neurodivergent — or leading someone who is.
