#20 "Queering Neuronormativity and Heteronormativity" with CO-HOST Sonny Jane Wise!

Pasha Marlowe, MFT

Introducing the world's best co-host for the "Neuroqueering" podcast, Sonny Jane Wise (@livedexperienceeducator and the author of the upcoming book "We are ALL Neurodiverse"). 

Coming to you from Australia tomorrow and Maine today, Sonny and Pasha invite you to engage in this expansive conversation on queering  neuronormativity and heteronormativity and how unmasking all of our truths is a healing and revealing process. It's not just about our brains! Neurodivergence is about functioning differently from neuronormativity and social norms, not only divergent ways of thinking. 

The hosts share their experiences as to when and how they unpacked their queerness and multiple neurodivergencies and how they work to reduce shame and pathologizing in both realms. This conversation also extends to dynamics around trauma, bipolar, and the gatekeeping that shows up within and around the neurodivergent community. 

Favorite quote: "You can not accept how someone diverges from neuronormativity without recognizing how these norms are rooted in capitalism, ableism, and white supremacy."

Oh! And get ready for the first ever world wide Neurodivergent Pride Day in June 2023! Details to come!
