As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2023, Beth spoke to Wonkhe, Advance HE and Euronews about her own experiences with ADHD, the underdiagnosis of women with the condition and how transformative pedagogies can empower all neurodivergent students to identify and initiate changes within the system.
