National Federation of Women's Institutes. Ep 1: Thinking Differently

For this, our very first edition of the Women's Institute official podcast, we are exploring the challenges and opportunities as experienced by neurodivergent women. We hear from Pippa, Angela, and Debra - three neurodivergent women who tell us their personal stories of seeking diagnosis, and finding passion and problem solving in their daily lives. As well as the importance of friendship and understanding. We also speak to then-Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee, Caroline Nokes MP, for her policy making perspective.

The NFWI's 'Thinking Differently' campaign surveyed neurodivergent women, and the new report lays out some clear calls to action to make society more accepting and embracing of women with autism and ADHD. Read more on our website, www.theWI.org.uk.
