This month's podcast gets into #neurodiversity beyond #autism and #ADHD: Sohail speaks to Dr Daria Khanolainen, a #dyslexia researcher in Finland, about qualitative dyslexia research, self-esteem, and pathologising reading difficulties.
Neurodiversity Matters: Daria Khanolainen on dyslexia and self-esteem
Neurodiversity and neurodivergence have been revolutionary ideas in autism research, and later in ADHD. But how do they apply to other diagnoses or experiences? This month Sohail speaks to Dr Daria Khanolainen, a dyslexia researcher in Finland, about qualitative dyslexia research, self-esteem, and pathologising reading difficulties.

Building on our survey study, we want to interview #autistic adults aged 18+ about dancing at home (kitchen disco anyone?), out socially, or at a dance class 💃🕺 To find out more and take part, email: claire.planner@manchester.ac.uk This study has been designed with autistic project advisors. #dance
A flyer showing the University of Manchester logo, and a photograph of a man and woman holding hands dancing. The text reads as follows: Research opportunity! The Ada study, Access to Dance for Autistic adults. Researchers at The University of Manchester seek autistic volunteers to talk about dance. Are you: 1. Autistic (diagnosed or self-identifying)? 2. Aged 18 or over? 3. Living in the UK? This study is exploring how autistic adults experience dance in different settings: at home (e.g. having a boogie in the kitchen), socially, or in a dance class. We want to interview autistic adults with different types of dance experience. You can take part in one of three ways: by zoom (speaking or using the chat function), in-person: at the University of Manchester, or by telephone. This research has been developed with autistic project advisors. To find out more contact: Claire.Planner@manchester.ac.uk This project has been reviewed and approved by the University of Manchester Research Ethics Committee. Ref.: 2025-23054-42792.

I really loved editing this episode. I’ve always found it hard to figure out how to “show my working” as a neurodivergent researcher and I’m super excited about this series starring to really get into the processes of neurodivergent research.
