  • Great podcast

    Thank you guys for talking about Trumps garbage announcement on the recent hot topic. I’m neurodivergent myself and I couldn’t even watch 5 minutes without getting frustrated and upset.

    Thanks for bearing with it and talking about the truth! Love your content

  • 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

  • Actually autistic

    It’s good to listen to actually autistic people talk about their experience in a more nuanced way than most media talks about it.

    I’m a late diagnosed autistic woman and feel it would be nice to hear my experience reflected more with guests who represent my voice (I am available!)
