Our Guest:
In this gripping episode of wiredDIFFERENT, Harold Heath, a seasoned author, music writer and ‘former’ DJ, shares his profound insights on the intersection of neurodiversity and electronic music. The conversation sheds light on Harold's late diagnoses of autism and ADHD, the challenges of navigating life pre- and post-diagnosis, and the sense of clarity and understanding that came with it. Harold candidly discusses the emotional dysregulation that often accompanies ADHD, the concept of "high masking," and the importance of accepting neurodivergent individuals without expecting them to conform to neurotypical standards.
As a passionate advocate for neurodivergent equality, Harold emphasizes that embracing neurodiversity is beneficial for everyone. The episode is not just an exploration of Harold's personal journey, but also a critical look at the societal changes needed to accommodate and celebrate neurodiversity.
Harold's pivotal tracks highlight his deep connection to the underground music scene and underscore how music has served as both a therapeutic outlet and a bridge to the neurotypical world throughout his life.
Harold’s pivotal tracks are:
- "Hot Butterfly" by Gregg Diamond & Bionic Boogie, featuring Luther Vandross
- "Trust the Ghost" by Harold Heath
- "Sadness" by Little Dragon
Join us for a powerful conversation that explores the intricate tapestry of identity, creativity and the relentless pursuit of authenticity.
