• Pete Wharmby on Lotus brains and the truth about the autism spectrum
    Jul 1 2024

    This week on Who We Are Now Richard and Izzy are joined by the brilliant Pete Wharmby. An autistic author and speaker, Pete is an incredible educator and reporter from the lines of neurodivergence. Together the team learn what the autism spectrum actually means (spoiler alert, we're not all just a 'little bit autistic'), how we all have our very own mixing desks in our brains, and how, if you're struggling with certain aspects of day to day life, it might just be that the neurotypical world was not built for you.
