Our last MindScoop flavor of the season features protein powder to help our neurodivergent ice cream fans get into fitness and outdoor recreation for the start of summer!

Joining us this episode is graduating Landmark student, Claudia Sherman who is on the athletic advisory board, Lanmark running team, and co-founder of CWAGletics to help reduce barriers for female-identifying and non-binary students by holding exclusive weekly fitness programs for "fems and thems".

For this episode, we talk about our experiences with fitness as well as challenges and barriers related to neurodiversity and gender identity. Though this flavor primarily focuses on the female perspective, TK is still here to give his perspective on fitness as a neurodivergent male, so this flavor is for all genders!

We hope to be back with plenty of food for thought with Season 4!

In part 2 of our Represent Cherry flavor, Eden and TK talk invite Landmark College professor, Cole Denisen to talk about animated autism and neurodiversity representation in movies and tv shows as well as autistic coded characters.

Make sure you also listen to part 1 which focuses on representation in live action media.

In this bonus scoop, Jman returns to talk about his love of superheroes and sidekicks with Eden why he relates to them so heavily as a neurodivergent young adult.

Listen to Jman's Jams live from 10am to 12pm EST every Saturday on ⁠WLMC, Landmark College's Streaming Radio Station⁠.

In part 1 of our cherry flavored episode, Eden and TK talk about autism and neurodiversity representation in movies and tv shows. Part 1 focuses on live action media that either features autistic characters or has a character many fans believe to be autistic (autistic-coded).

Part 2 will feature animated characters.

Happy Autism Acceptance Month from MindSccop!

This MindScoop flavor features misconceptions about neurodiversity and autism and the harmful effects they can have on a college campus and in life. Eden and TK invite Landmark Director of Mental Health Counseling, Tori Tilson, and graduating Landmark student, Aidan Kipp (Kipper) to discuss this sensitive but important topic. The topic and episode questions were planned by Kipper, to use as an artifact for his capstone project.

This week's MindScoop flavor is MediaPoliton as we talk about what it's like being a neurodivergent content creator, primarily focusing on podcasting.

This spicy flavor of Mind Scoop features hot topics and handling disagreements. It can be especially tough accepting difference of opinion if you're neurodivergent, so we hope this episode can give everyone some food for thought for when you have those uncomfortable discussions.

In this episode, we are joined by Landmark College Humanities Professor, Tyler Baker. Tyler Baker and Evelyn Nitch-Griffin host a DEI-themed show featured on the Voices TV YouTube channel, check it out here:

This Mind Scoop flavor is all about how neurodivergence is perceived in different parts of the world (focusing on Brazil and Australia), generations, and religion (focusing on Christianity). We invited Landmark student, Josh Sampaio who leads the Pa' Lante Center for Hispanic students and allies.

We hope to expand upon neurodiversity and religion in a future episode! Leave a comment if you'd like us to discuss anything specific on that topic.
