Amaechi Nduka-Agwu is a registered counseling psychologist and solution-focused therapist, with a passion for making her field more neurodiversity-affirming, moving away from seeing differences as deficits. She spends a lot of her time helping people better understand and appreciate their uniquely-wired brains, so they can find strategies and tools that work for them, and not just for the neurotypical world they live in. Contrary to what some might think, as a therapist, she spends much more time discussing people’s hopes, strengths, and what’s already working for them than she does listening to problems. In her talk, she explores why it’s never too late to have a good day, regardless of what’s on the agenda, and the role self-talk can play in making that happen.
