  • Amazing Show

    I have been searching for answers my entire life no one, including myself, had. Not everything is applicable to me, but thus the term neurodivergent. Many episodes feel as if someone is inside my head and i hear myself thinking...avoidance, depression, and extreme anxiety

  • Thank you for what you do!

    I am a somewhat newly diagnosed woman in the United States trying to understand myself better, and I have been struggling to find others like me as I'm quite nervous about disclosing my diagnosis right now. This podcast has been incredibly validating and educational for me and I love how you two celebrate Autism unabashedly. Listening to your podcast has helped me better keep in mind that I should be kind and empathetic towards myself, the way that I am towards others, because I AM also as worth... more

    I don’t always agree with everything that’s said and sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable with the objectification of Sylvia (Jordan may disagree but as a woman it feels a bit icky). Also if I took a drink every time th... more

  • 5 Stars Is Not Enough

    I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a kid, but as I have gotten older I suspect I am also autistic. I have requested evaluations off and on for the past 10 years, and was being told that my provider doesn’t evaluate adults for autism. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, and with the same provider, different therapist, I have an evaluation the end of March.

    Anyways, I started to binge The Neurodivergent Experience. Took a week and a half, but I am caught up, and I can say I identify with most, i... more
