    I just learned I most likely have Autism (plus ADHD) and this was one of the first podcasts I listened to and have continued to listen to. Very entertaining and engaging; my ADHD brain doesn’t tend to wander off as much. :)

    The beginning of the 3/12 show made me feel so very seen. I believe his self-doubt, etc. was entirely authentic. It was a more effective demonstration of certain aspects of neurodivergent thinking than any clinical description could ever be. Even if this was the only episode I’d ever heard those introductory minutes would’ve made me a subscriber. Thank you.
