Description
In this episode we are joined by Samar Waqar who describes discovering that she is autistic and ADHD in her 30’s a s life changing discovery. Samar's childhood was inherently spent knowing and believing within her heart that she was different, and her diagnosis served as validation for her - she could finally put her guard down. Or could she? She founded Kind Theory to cultivate acceptance, inclusion and celebration of neurodiversity, and her hope is to do it globally beyond the US. Samar has worked in the fields of education, information analysis and operations management. She has a Masters Degree in Business Administration and a certification in Big Data Analytics, and finds the human brain extremely fascinating and therefore has a keen interest in learning more about how the psychology of the human brain works.
