Adrian’s interests in neurodiversity are both personal and professional. He says: “on the personal side, as a child I had specific learning disabilities in reading, math, and language. The school and my therapist had differing views on what was the root of the problem. With time, I was able to find a way to work with the system. It was a long and hard process and I knew there must be an easier way. Trying to find that easier way is what has drawn me to neurodiversity.”
