In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Amaechi Nduka-Agwu

Amaechi Nduka-Agwu is a registered counseling psychologist and solution-focused therapist, with a passion for making her field more neurodiversity-affirming, moving away from seeing differences as deficits. She spends a lot of her time helping people better understand and appreciate their uniquely-wired brains, so they can find strategies and tools that work for them, and not just for the neurotypical world they live in. Contrary to what some might think, as a therapist, she spends much more time discussing people's hopes, strengths, and what's already working for them than she does listening to problems. In her talk, she discusses the importance of social skills and meeting each other in the middle.
