Mads Johan Øgaard always loved to draw. After being diagnosed with dyslexia and dyscalculia as a child, Mads realized that drawing helped him focus and remember his school lessons. However, not all of his teachers understood this -- so he had to become a vocal advocate for his own learning needs and accommodations.

Today, Mads is an award-winning artist, filmmaker and public speaker. He is known for his animated short films about being a neurodivergent child: the multi-award-winning “I AM DYSLEXIC” (based on his own school experiences) and “WITH THE UNIVERSE IN MY SUITCASE” (based on the experiences of people with ADHD who worked on the film with him).

In this episode, Mads talks about being a student with learning differences and making films that raise awareness about neurodiversity.
