Em Rusciano on neurodiversity

Welcome to On Topic with the Weekend Briefing, a special series where Jamila Rizvi talks to some of her favourite guests - old and new - about a single fascinating subject.

Over the next two months, you’ll hear from singers, writers, models, actors and change makers on topics as diverse as power and influence, mindset and money, bodies and brains.

Up first? Is Em Rusciano! She has co-hosted breakfast radio, sold out the Sydney Opera House and released chart-topping songs and award winning books and audio books.

Last year Em addressed the National Press Club, in Canberra, speaking about her ADHD and autism diagnoses and calling for policy reform.

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Em speaks about neurodiversity and the diagnoses that changed her life.
