Welcome back to the Lounge! Katie Rose Guest Pryal is here this week for a deep discussion on neurodiversity and disability, whether as a law student student, faculty member, or practitioner. Katie and Krystal Norton (host) share their personal experiences as neurodiverse individuals while sharing difficulties, tools, and areas of improvement within the legal world in these areas and that of mental health. The two define neurodiversity and accessibility, they discuss Katie's journey into the legal profession, they talk about writing tips for neurodiverse people, and they discuss accommodations in the classroom. They also consider the mental health component to taking the bar exam.
WARNING: This episode covers topics that some listeners may find difficult. Listener discretion is advised.
