I have listened to two episodes now and this podcast is excellent.
The guests I have listened to are so knowledgeable and the interviewer asks great, clear incisive questions.
I am hooked. Thank you so much.
I’ve been listening for exactly a year thanks to my neurodivergent husband’s recommendation… The level of understanding I now have is incredible. I feel like I’m in a parallel and better universe than I was a year ago. It’s not just my partner I better understand it’s also many others around me and, likely, myself. I’m so grateful.
I just listened to the latest episode: Sam (Ben’s wife) and Ben’s 2nd interview…. This is my beyond thank you point. The level of vulnerability, utter bravery and i... more
Love the discussions and the host’s ability to connect with the guest so quickly, which makes the conversation flow really smoothly.
Listen to every episode and gain more insight each time. Such honesty which I appreciate.
Well done Ben and the team
You get your diagnosis and that’s it. There’s no support. 35 years of life to unpick, remodel and relearn how to exist. This podcast has been truly life changing in the discussions that are being had. There are some that are not relevant to my lived experience but it’s so fascinating to learn more.
But the moment something truly resonates with you, it’s a real turning point. A wash of calm, a moment of self-forgiveness. PLEASE keep up the good work.
