Getting Better Acquainted

In GBA 334 we get even better acquainted with Donna. We reflect on and update the first conversation we had for GBA which was recorded in 2012 when we both had very different understandings of ourselves and the world around us. We compare notes on therapy and talk about some of the labels we now have to describe our experiences, in Donna's case dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and OCD, in my case depression and anxiety. Donna talks about her new job advocating for special needs within a school, and how advocating for other people's needs has helped her understand her own, and vice versa. We talk about the unique job that we both used to do working with the under 5's on behalf of the library service and catch up on what has been happening in the 4 years since we last saw each other. This was our first GBA: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-replayed-gba-113-donna Donna plugs: Connecting with the world.
