We are delighted to showcase Sonia Gray's Podcast series "No Such Thing As Normal".
You'll likely know Sonia from her long-time role as the Lotto presenter or as a star in many shows.
You might not know that her kaupapa focuses on helping society better understand neurodiversity, thereby improving the lives of neurodivergent individuals.
Because of this, you may have seen her in a role she is most passionate about - as a presenter and executive producer of the documentary Kids Wired Differently, which screened TVNZ 1 at the start of our Awareness Month last October and offered an insight into the lives of families with neurodivergent children.
Last week she launched her podcast series, which explores the world of neurodiversity and the various "conditions" that fall under this umbrella by presenting many different voices, including experts, clinicians and those with lived experience.
Conversations include the many strengths of these unique brains. And, of course, the numerous challenges that come with trying to fit into a society not built for neurodivergent people.
