Video greetings to Montreal Neurodiversité book launch


My greetings from Sydney to the Montreal Neurodiversité Collectif's launch of their book Neurodiversity: 20th Anniversary of the birth of the concept




My first attempt at making a video!

The book is collection of essays by the speakers at their 2018 conference celebrating that anniversary. It features an introduction by Steve Silberman, author of Neurotribes, and chapters by Joel Monzée, Josef Schovanec, Melanie Ouimet and myself.

My chapter in the book is titled Reflections on the NeuroDiversity Movement 20 years on
