Episode description
Bayo Moses has 8+ years as a Book Coach and Developmental Editor. When he's not looking into manuscripts, you can find him on Google Meet catching fun as a personal development coach. He shares his story growing up neurodivergent in rural Northern Nigeria and how he learned about autism in adulthood.

- Realising there is nothing wrong with yourself but with your audience.
- Sometimes there is nothing wrong with you but with the teaching method.
- A hearing issue can be a sensory processing difference.
- Being neurodivergent is not a curse, being neurodivergent is not a problem that need fixing! It is not a disease that needs curing!

- Being neurodivergent can be your personal super power!
- The journey of self-awareness is not about happiness, it is about helping yourself!
