Where is the village? Building neurodivergent community

Neurodivergent families experience isolation at twice the rate of neurotypical families, not because they can't cope, but because most spaces were never designed for them. In this episode, Laetitia Andrac (co-founder of Understanding Zoe) explores what real community looks like for neurodivergent people and families. She shares practical strategies for creating sensory-friendly, inclusive gatherings where everyone genuinely feels welcome, and explains how to build your village deliberately, right where you are.
