Joining me on the podcast

today is Dr. Jessica Eccles, a leading neurodevelopmental psychiatrist, researcher and public communicator whose work bridges brain and body, including in neurodivergence.

She works as a consultant in an adult NHS neurodevelopmental service where she co-leads the world's first neurodivergent brain body clinic.

She also chairs the Royal College of Psychiatrists Neurodevelopmental Group.

And so within the Zebra Club, w- because we have, we have a community, we also have groups within our community, and we have a special neurodivergent group within there so people can chat with each other, um, and, um, you know, have that support as well through there.

Well, you know, Jessica Eccles would say that, you know, you have m- you also have a bendy brain, right? So it's not just your joints that are impacted.

Um, so the brain is also impacted.
