In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott shares some exciting personal news — he's engaged! What begins as a conversation about the proposal quickly evolves into a wider discussion about milestones, traditions, social expectations, and what happens when neurodivergent people choose to do things their own way. Simon reflects on planning a proposal that worked for both him and his fiancé, from accommodating anxiety around surprises to creating an experience that felt meaningful, comfortable, and authentic. Jordan shares his thoughts on celebrations, weddings, family expectations, and why so many social traditions seem to exist simply because “that's how it's always been done.”A funny, heartfelt, and deeply relatable conversation about love, milestones, and creating a life that works for you rather than the expectations of everyone else.Our Sponsors:

Dr Mary Sims is an AuDHD (autistic with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and some overlap with obsessive compulsive disorder) who has both dealt with neurodivergent patients in crisis and been one herself.In Episode One of Clinical Misfits, Dr Mary describes in detail a unique way to identify neurodivergent people who are approaching or in the middle of burnout, who she calls Clinical Misfits. She emphasizes a gestalt approach to diagnosis, looking for patterns, in true autistic style, rather than focusing on specific organ systems, or parts of the body, and the afflictions thereof.The episode recommends a thorough examination of all parts of a person's life, looking for numerous vague symptoms, in many different categories, that have characteristics commonly seen in neurodivergent people in crisis.

You know how they tell you that websites and apps follow your every move and then design their product to get the most out of you? And you know how each and every time a digital product gets updated it gets worse and harder to use? How can both of these be true? Well, let me get you in on a Product Analytics secret: It's true that most websites and apps collect your data, but most of them just let it rot in dashboards nobody looks at, and release major features and redesigns without performing any mathematically rigorous analysis of the users' response. This is only one of many reasons why it's so hard to be autistic in Tech. My Product Analytics ex-colleague, Carolina (pronouns: she/they), will join me on this episode to rant with all our accumulated frustrations about the sad sad fact that most digital product providers really don't care about your data, and also just in general about being autistic in Tech.You can find Carolina on Instagram @millenialspinster Language note: The words Shit and Bullshit are being said a few times in the episode.

Like many late-identified adults, they developed ways to cope, adapt, and push through, often at the expense of their own well-being.It wasn't until adulthood, through a combination of burnout, reflection, and exposure to neurodivergent experiences, that Nyck began to recognise themselves, leading to a deeper understanding of their needs, identity, and way of being.This is a conversation about unlearning, self-acceptance, and choosing a different way forward.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore a new study analysing 14 million Reddit posts and comments, revealing a major shift in how we talk about mental health online.

The sound of Autistic culture is here. And we're just getting started!On June 22nd, we will officially launch the Autistic Culture Podcast Network, the first global podcast network built by Autistic creators to document and celebrate the full breadth of Autistic life through audio.The Autistic Culture Podcast Network brings together more than 25 creator-led podcasts from across the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand, covering hobbies and interests, health and wellness, identity and advocacy, and the ordinary rhythms of everyday life.Taken together, these shows offer something powerful: a wider and more internally consistent public record of who Autistic people are, what we care about, what we create, and how we live.That matters culturally.It matters politically.And it matters personally.Because when a community is represented only through challenge, the hardest parts of that experience can begin to stand in for the whole. A broader cultural record creates more room for recognition, dignity, belonging, and connection. It helps Autistic people see one another more clearly. It helps families, clinicians, educators, and institutions build deeper cultural literacy. It expands the public imagination around what Autistic life looks and sounds like.This is one small part of a much larger movement toward Autistic cultural self-definition.And we would love for you to be part of it.Please join us on June 22 as we launch the Autistic Culture Podcast Network, help us share it with your communities, and help us welcome more people into this growing conversation.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to controversial headlines claiming people with ADHD and anxiety “shouldn't automatically get blue badges” — and unpack the wider stigma surrounding invisible disabilities.The discussion explores the public backlash around disabled parking permits for hidden disabilities, including ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyspraxia, and other non-visible conditions.

Warning: This episode includes discussion of terminal cancer, sudden bereavement, grief, burnout, and mental health struggles. Please listen with care.In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Scott Simpson, a late-identified Autistic and ADHD creator, former broadcast journalist, and widowed father who has been raising his son solo since 2016.After decades working in radio, Scott's life began to unravel through grief, burnout, and the collapse of the structures that had quietly supported him for years. What followed was a search to understand executive functioning, ADHD, and eventually Autism.Together, Angela and Scott explore hidden support needs, burnout after loss, Autistic shutdown, identity through memoirs and community, and why many late-identified adults only recognise their needs once life's scaffolding disappears.This is a conversation about grief, structure, survival, and finally understanding yourself.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the often-overlooked concept of boreout, and how it can feel almost identical to burnout, especially for neurodivergent people.They unpack how under-stimulation, not just stress or overwhelm, can lead to symptoms like anxiety, low mood, apathy, fatigue, and loss of motivation. From feeling “sick with boredom” to questioning why nothing feels engaging, they reflect on how easy it is to mislabel boreout as burnout. The conversation breaks down the key differences: burnout driven by too much, boreout driven by too little — but both leading to similar emotional and physical exhaustion.A relatable and eye-opening conversation about balance, stimulation, and why neurodivergent people often feel like they're constantly walking a tightrope between too much and not enough.We're really excited to now be part of the Autistic Culture Podcast Network — a space dedicated to amplifying neurodivergent voices, lived experience, and real conversations. Being part of this network means we can reach more people and continue building this community together.Our Sponsors:

But decades later, recognition of ADHD, and later Autism, helped him reframe the struggles that had followed him since childhood.Together, Angela and KW explore the cost of wrong labels, Autistic burnout, meltdowns mistaken for behavioural problems, sensory overwhelm, masking through work and education, and the long process of learning how to accommodate yourself instead of fighting yourself.
