As kin:pathic’s strategic advisor, Gianmarco Masoni believes that neurodiversity can be viewed as a spectrum that includes everything from autism to Alzheimer’s. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2017 and since then has been on a journey to discover and help others find effective ways to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities presented by the unique neurological differences that they face. He is immensely proud to be part of the kin:pathic mission of combining scientifically proven techniques and empathy to help families living with autism.
