On this podcast, I want to share with you how the concept of savant focus operates differently from what our conventional system suggests, and why this is actually a wonderful thing.

First and foremost, there is absolutely nothing wrong with neurodivergent learning, thinking, or simply being. In fact, there is an incredible amount of untapped brilliance within it. When we delve into the understanding of how we learn, suddenly our distinct focus starts to make perfect sense. Our inclination towards chaos, jumping from one project to another without completing them, and our heightened need for downtime to process and create all become logical.

To illustrate this point, I reference the artistic savant Stephan Wiltshire as an example. By exploring the similarities between the savant brain and the neurodivergent brain, I aim to demonstrate that they are essentially one and the same. This podcast is packed with information that will revolutionize our perception of giftedness and shed light on the importance of embracing and harnessing the full potential of neurodivergence.
