Divergent minds lead to divergent thinking and problem-solving. This “thinking outside the box” is a strength for many neurodivergent people, who often thrive in entrepreneurship, music, and other creative fields. So, what does neuroscience have to say about these gifts, and are there ways to restructure schools, workplaces, and lifestyles to better harness them? This event features a conversation about how neurodiversity often comes with increased access to creativity, and how the neurodiversity paradigm is shifting around how we think about conditions that were simply considered “disorders.”
The Dana Discovery Dialogues series is held in partnership with Boston University College of Communications.
Event Date:
November 29, 2023

Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D., American Institute for Learning and Development
Michael Bakan, Ph.D., Florida State University
