Positive Disintegration

Chris Wells, Emma Nicholson

Booking Overview

This is a specialist interview and co-hosted show focused on Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration, neurodivergence, giftedness, and personal development, with occasional external conversations featuring neurodivergent podcasters, coaches, researchers, and advocates. Credible pitches would include AuDHD, autism, PDA, giftedness, and neurodiversity experts with lived experience or relevant scholarship; credential requirements are relatively accessible, though booking opportunities are currently limited because the hosts are moving toward primarily guest-free episodes.
