Neuro Rebel Podcast
NeuroRebel is a bilingual podcast (Spanish and English) that delves deep into the world of neurodivergence from a unique perspective: that of a late-diagnosed autistic, gifted adult, and retired university professor with a lifetime experience as an academic and researcher. Here, you'll find science, critical thinking, real-life experiences, and the kinds of conversations we should be having about autism, giftedness, mental health, inclusion, and more.
This isn’t a space for sugarcoating reality or oversimplifying complexity. It's a place to challenge myths, share findings, laugh (a little or a lot), and build an informed, empathetic community.
🧠 Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, a health professional, educator, family member, or just curious and open-minded—NeuroRebel is for you. We invite you to join this global community.
Welcome to a space where being different isn’t a problem—it’s the starting point.
