Name
Show & Tell: Sharing Passions for a Live Experience of Neurodivergent Joy
Time
12:00 PM - 12:50 PM (EDT)
Description
For many neurodivergent individuals, our passions are critical sources of meaning-making, social connection, and neurodivergent joy (Long, 2024; Wassell, 2026). This breakout session invites participants to share something that they are passionate about with other attendees in a grown-up version of show-and-tell. Participants might share photos of their bearded dragons, teach the group their favorite K-Pop dance moves, bring their translation of Beowulf, and more — whatever they are excited about, our Show & Tell participants are here to cheer on all presenters. All communication modalities are welcomed. The session will conclude with reflection on creating neurodivergent joy through passions.
