Back to the Beginning: A Glimpse at Neurodivergence Through Time

Back to the Beginning: A Glimpse at Neurodivergence Through Time

This week on The NeuroSpicy MomPod, we zoom out and trace the history of how society has seen neurodivergence. From myths of “divine madness,” to the rise of asylums, to the Disability Rights and Neurodiversity movements — this episode explores how far we’ve come, and why it matters right now.

You’ll hear about:

  • How ancient cultures framed differences in behavior

  • The grim legacy of asylums & treatments like ECT and lobotomy

  • Rosemary Kennedy’s tragic story and its modern echoes

  • The rise of disability rights, IEPs, and the word neurodiversity

  • Practical supports & why community is essential today

✨ If this resonates, share the episode with a friend — and if you’d like to support me & join a safe ND community, check out my Patreon where I post bonus episodes, conversation boards, and our upcoming book club.
