Neurodiversity: It's not whether you're smart, but how are you smart

View descriptionShare

In this episode, our host Phillip Heath AM sits down with renowned clinical psychologist and author Andrew Fuller for a rich, energising conversation about neurodiversity and the future of learning. Andrew unpacks what neurodiversity really means, why personalised education is becoming an expectation rather than an exception, and how understanding the way each young person is “smart” can transform their sense of purpose.

We explore the idea that great education — and great parenting — is ultimately an act of treasure hunting: discovering strengths, uncovering passions, and helping young people find their meaningful contribution to the world. Andrew also shares practical insights on navigating self‑doubt, the vital role families play in shaping confidence, and his top tips for teachers working with neurodiverse students.

A thoughtful, hopeful, and deeply practical conversation for educators, parents, and anyone committed to helping young people thrive.
