The hidden truth about neurodivergence
About this episode
This episode explores the historical understanding of neurodivergence in pre-colonial Africa.
Today's episode is an essay I wrote for The New Quo Learning Community about neurodivergence which describes people whose brains develop or function in ways that differ from what is considered "typical" or "neurotypical" This essay covers fascinating history of how in pre-colonial Africa, communities recognized cognitive differences in attention, memory, and perception, not as flaws, but as a unique skill or purpose.
