S2 E30 - What You Didn’t Know About The Hidden Curriculum with Kara Dymond

Today’s interview is going to blow your mind!! Did you know that all those school struggles and challenges for us that got so much worse around 6th grade have a hidden curriculum behind them? Join Dr. Kara Dymond today as we talk about why school and classroom work got so much harder and how we have carried that with us for decades. It is time to know the secret and give all of us late identified adults some insights so we can heal from something we didn’t even know we were supposed to understand.

Join me along with your MYAB community friends this Friday, Aug 13th at 3 pm EST on zoom to discuss how the classroom environment and the hidden curriculum impacted us as Late Identified Autistics and Q&A on this episode with Kara Dymond and last week’s with Megg Thompson. Megg will be joining us the last 15 minutes of the hour to answer any questions you have. Registration is required and you will receive the link straight to your inbox. You don’t want to miss this amazing discussion and an opportunity to begin healing from silent and hidden school hurts.
