The Neurodiverse Voices Podcast celebrates the beauty of differences, giving a voice to neurodivergent people, bringing their stories to light.
Andreia Costa, mother of a perfectly autistic daughter and both the founder and host of the NDV Podcast, brings in guests who are parents, professionals, advocates, and researchers and together they explore the challenges faced within various systems and share real, lived experiences.
