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. Jordan and Simon reflect on why so many people still struggle to understand disability unless it is physically obvious, and how media narratives often frame disabled people as “cheating the system.”Funny, fiery, and deeply honest — this episode is a passionate discussion about disability, stigma, support systems, and why invisible disabilities are still disabilities.Our Sponsors:
In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Dale Pickles — host of Sendcast and Managing Director of B Squared — for a wide-ranging conversation on late diagnosis, education systems, and what it really means to support neurodivergent people.Dale shares how he grew up surrounded by special education — yet still missed his own Autism and ADHD. It wasn't until 2023, prompted by supporting his daughter through her diagnosis journey, that everything finally clicked.This is a conversation about understanding yourself, supporting the next generation, and rethinking systems that weren't built for neurodivergent minds.
In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the exhausting reality of procrastination, executive dysfunction, and navigating deadlines as neurodivergent adults.From forgotten weddings and last-minute panic buying to missed emails, time blindness, and overwhelming admin tasks, they unpack how procrastination is rarely about laziness — and far more often linked to anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and fear of failure.They discuss practical coping strategies too, including body doubling, breaking tasks into smaller steps, momentum-building, and learning to work with your brain rather than against it.Funny, chaotic, painfully relatable, and deeply honest — this episode is a raw look at the emotional reality of executive dysfunction and the hidden energy cost of simply trying to keep up.Our Sponsors:
DESCRIPTION Tara breaks down the political earthquake in Texas after Ken Paxton's landslide victory over John Cornyn — a race she says symbolized the final collapse of the Bush-era globalist machine inside the Republican Party. From open borders and the SAVE Act to Lindsey Graham, Karl Rove, and South Carolina's GOP establishment, Tara argues conservatives are finally taking their party back. PODCAST SUMMARY On today's AMPERWAVE DAILY, Tara celebrates what she describes as the political death of the Bush machine after Ken Paxton delivered a devastating defeat to Senator John Cornyn in Texas. Tara argues the race was never just about one Senate seat, but about whether the Bush-era globalist wing of the Republican Party could survive. The episode details the massive financial effort behind Cornyn's campaign, with establishment Republican donors and leadership PACs reportedly pouring over $100 million into the race to stop Paxton. Tara says the result represents a full-scale rejection of open-border policies, globalist trade agreements, and establishment Republican compromises with Democrats. Tara revisits the Bush political legacy in Texas, arguing that George W. Bush's governorship helped normalize open-border policies and international governance ideas that later evolved into broader globalist movements inside both parties. She credits Donald Trump with disrupting that agenda and says Paxton's victory marks the final collapse of the Bush political infrastructure in Texas. The show also dives into the SAVE Act battle, with Tara praising Paxton for challenging Senate Republicans to pass voter integrity legislation in exchange for ending his campaign. Tara argues Republican voters in Texas were outraged by Senate resistance to election reform and believes the issue became a turning point in the race. Attention then shifts to South Carolina, where Tara claims remnants of the Bush political network still dominate Republican politics through open primaries and establishment leadership. Lindsey Graham, Henry McMaster, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and other GOP figures are accused of protecting establishment interests while blocking conservative reforms. The episode closes with Tara arguing that establishment Republican influence is rapidly collapsing nationwide, though South Carolina remains one of the final strongholds of what she calls the “Bush cabal.” KEY TOPICS Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn Bush machine collapse Republican globalism debate SAVE Act controversy Election integrity politics Karl Rove and GOP establishment Donald Trump influence South Carolina Republican politics Lindsey Graham criticism Open primaries debate Texas political realignment GOP donor influence SEGMENTS Segment 1: “Texas Is Free” Tara reacts to Ken Paxton's overwhelming victory and calls it the end of the Bush political machine. Segment 2: The $100 Million Battle Discussion centers on establishment Republican donors and leadership PACs spending heavily to protect John Cornyn. Segment 3: The SAVE Act Showdown Tara explains why Paxton's push for election integrity legislation became a rallying point for conservative voters. Segment 4: South Carolina: The Last Bush Stronghold? Tara argues the Bush-era Republican network still controls South Carolina politics through open primaries and establishment alliances. Segment 5: Globalism's Final Collapse? The show closes with a broader discussion about the future of the Republican Party after the decline of establishment globalist influence.

Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about modern bass fishing by listening to what a touring pro worries about when things are going right. We've got Monster Athlete Tyler (TStew) Stewart back with us, fresh off a tournament at Douglas Lake, and we get into the real nuts and bolts of finding offshore schools when everyone has the same electronics, the same maps, and the same ideas.Tyler breaks down how he spends practice idling instead of casting, how he marks dozens of schools on points, ledges, and humps, and why “having fish” doesn't mean you'll have a place to fish once 150 boats hit the lake. We also go deep on one of the wildest tools in his box: the Ben Parker mag spoon. It's huge, it's heavy, and it still gets bites from fish smaller than the bait when those Tennessee River bass are keyed on big gizzard shad.From there we talk forward-facing sonar and LiveScope without the usual yelling. We're honest about how much it changes tournament fishing, why cut weights have climbed, and what happens when leagues limit sonar time to a short window. Tyler shares what good and bad timing looks like, how decision-making speed separates anglers, and why it can feel like the fish are getting more educated every season. We even detour into deer hunting plans for Kansas, ground blind realities down south, and how tech in general, from GPS to Facebook “research” to AI videos, can make all of us a little lazier than we want to admit.If you like competitive bass fishing, fishing electronics, and real talk about what's changing in the sport, hit subscribe, share this with a buddy, and leave us a review with your take: has technology made you better, or just more dependent?GUEST: https://www.monsterenergy.com/en-us/athletics/tyler-stewart/OUR WEBSITE/OTC MERCH: https://offtheclockwithbscott.comHAVOC GEAR SHOP: https://havocnation.comHAVOC BOATS WEBSITE: https://havocboats.comHAVOC DEALERS: https://havocboats.com/dealers/WREAKIN' HAVOC CREW WEBSITE: https://wreakinhavoccrew.comSOCIAL LINKSTruth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@OffTheClockwithBScottFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Off-The-Clock-With-B-Scott/61557737220814/Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/OTCwithBScottInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/offtheclockwithbscott/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwu6_wWcXDoBzhpHv4YgZGQRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-5644782Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2g76hRDp9d609LETevSH2U?si=0ba23ae282c94e88&nd=1&dlsi=d9f84d7699b84724Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-clock-with-b-scott/id1734265760Support the show
It's Monday, May 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian families in WA state are free to serve as foster parents To settle a lawsuit brought by a Washington state couple, state officials agreed to a permanent injunction allowing Christian families to serve as foster parents without promoting so-called “gender ideology,” reports Alliance Defending Freedom. Washington's Department of Children, Youth, and Families has agreed to settle a lawsuit over its policies excluding religious families. The state had enacted a new policy requiring all families to use a child's chosen pronouns, don't you know. The state then declined to issue Shane and Jennifer DeGross a full license under this policy because of the couple's Christian objections to socially “transitioning” children that may be placed in their care, between the ages of 2 and 18. Jennifer DeGross said this on Fox News. JENNIFER DEGROSS: “In 2022, we were going through our relicensing process and realized that the state had updated some of their rules regarding foster parents. One of those rules was requiring us to adhere to their ideology regarding gender identity and while we said that we would love and care for any child in our home, those were requirements we just could not abide by as Christians.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus said, “Surely, you have read in the Scriptures: When God made the world, 'He made them male and female.” Johannes Delphonse, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “Washington's policy failed to respect religious diversity because it singled out applicants with traditional religious beliefs on the sanctity of the human body. The DeGrosses merely asked to be treated the same as any other family—without being asked to compromise their core beliefs. “This is a win-win because it will ensure more families can serve as foster parents to help meet the needs of every precious child in Washington's foster-care system.” Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, resigns Tulsi Gabbard is resigning from her post as Director of National Intelligence to support her husband, Abraham, through his battle with "an extremely rare form of bone cancer," reports Fox News. She said, “I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.” Gabbard notified President Donald Trump during a meeting in the Oval Office this past Friday. Her last day is expected to be June 30. In her formal resignation letter, Gabbard says she is "deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half." During her tenure, Gabbard became one of the most controversial and transformative intelligence leaders in recent memory. She spearheaded efforts to reduce the size of the intelligence community bureaucracy, dismantle diversity and equity programs inside federal intelligence agencies, and declassify hundreds of thousands of pages of government records tied to major historical and political investigations. Among the most significant disclosures were records connected to the Trump-Russia investigation, the JFK and RFK assassinations, and the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane probe. MS NOW panel claims SC blacks to be 'disenfranchised' by GOP And finally, MS NOW host Chris Jansing presided over a discussion of GOP efforts to redraw South Carolina's congressional districts in which her Democrat guests claimed that blacks are being "disenfranchised" in South Carolina, reports Newsbusters.org. She offered this melodramatic introduction in her interview with South Carolina State Rep. Kambrell Garvin, a black Democrat. JANSING: “Today, a dramatic warning about voting rights from one North Carolina state senator who told Politico the entire South is on fire. Jim Clyburn accuses Republicans of creating Jim Crow 2.0. Is he right?” GARVIN: “Absolutely, Chris. It's starting to feel more like 1966 and not 2026. So, you're talking about over a 100-year period where black folks in South Carolina did not get a chance to have a voice, did not get a chance to have a seat at the table. And now we are facing a situation where it might be another 100 years where African Americans will not be able to have a voice.” Laughably, neither Chris Jansing nor Rep. Garvin remembered to point out that South Carolinians have elected and re-elected Tim Scott, a Republican black man, as one of their two United States Senators. Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky was equally blind in her condemnation of South Carolinian voters. ROGINSKY: “You are now about to see complete eradication of black power in Congress. It is precisely because of these kinds of places. White voters will not vote for black representatives. I call it racism, but the reality is the reality, which is that we are going to have many, many, many fewer representatives of color.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, May 25th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

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.

It's Casual Friday On today's program: Conservative pundits are failing to keep it together as the Trump administration's support continues to crater to record lows. One example is Scott Jennings live on CNN swearing Meidas Touch's wunderkind, Adam Mockler. Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent at The Nation joins the program to recap the week's biggest stories. Topics include: The War in Iran, Trump's fixation on his own legacy, the buried DNC autopsy and more. For more from Jeet, check out his podcast "In the Time of Monsters". Rep.

In the Fun Half: Pete Hegseth appears before congress as a part of the military's budget request hearings, and it does not go well for him. Hegseth implies the soldiers that survived the drone attack that killed 6 servicemembers were lying when they said that they had almost no support. Also at the hearing, Rep. Jason Crow exposes Hegseth recommissioning his personal attorney and now top adviser at the Pentagon Tim Parlatore, who also represents clients that are in line for promotion by Hegseth so that he could sidestep any venting process. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) goes on Fox to lie Kamala-style about how great the economy is. "You can just feel how good things are". Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) takes a different approach to manipulating people around the economy. Rick says that the higher prices at the pump are worth it because now we are safer and can live in freedom. Tim Pool's guest floats the idea that Ben Shapiro is running ads on Tucker Carlson's channel to capture his audience, but Tim shuts it down, saying it would be stupid and bad business—only to admit moments later that he's done the same thing to The Majority Report's channel.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes KW Raney, a therapist, creative, and podcast host who identified as AuDHD in adulthood after years of misdiagnosis, burnout, and self-blame.As a child, KW was labelled with oppositional defiant disorder and grew up believing he was difficult, lazy, and broken. 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.

The United States is in a full-blown housing crisis — and Congress just passed the most significant bipartisan housing legislation in a generation: The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act cleared the Senate 89-10, co-sponsored by Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott. So why won’t it fix the problem? In this episode, we break down exactly what the bill does, what it deliberately leaves out, and why the structural forces driving housing unaffordability in America—rising mortgage rates, institutional investors, zoning failures, generational wealth inequality, and decades of racial exclusion—are largely untouched by any legislation currently on the table. From the redlining of Levittown and Stuyvesant Town to the 2008 financial crisis and the asset inflation chasm it created, we trace how homeownership became both the engine of the American Dream and the mechanism of its denial. We also look at what actually works, like how Vienna’s social housing model has kept half a city affordably housed for over a century, and ask the question no one in Washington wants to answer: short of a depression, what does it actually take to make housing affordable again?

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Michael Kelly, a late-diagnosed Autistic artist and recent PhD graduate in design whose work explores how art can help us think about thinking.Michael's path to diagnosis began unexpectedly during his wife Susie's autism assessment. After sitting in on several sessions as her carer, the clinician suggested that Michael pursue an assessment as well, leading to his own diagnosis a year later.Together, Angela and Michael explore childhood solitude and special interests, creative practice as a way of understanding the mind, and how art can disrupt the systems that shape our thinking.
In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Tigz Rice, an empowerment photographer whose work centres on helping people feel truly seen in their own bodies.Diagnosed with ADHD and autism in her late 30s, Tigz reflects on the subtle signs that were present throughout childhood — from early hyperfocus on computers and photography to lifelong curiosity about how things work. What began as a casual exploration of ADHD eventually led to a dual diagnosis that reframed decades of experience and self-understanding.Together, Angela and Tigz explore late discovery, high masking, creative hyperfocus, and how learning her neurodivergent “user manual” has changed how she treats herself.

Steve Forbes explains why the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act, co-sponsored by Republican Senator Tim Scott and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, fails to truly fix the housing crisis and could cause problems all its own.
In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Jenna Goldstein, a late-diagnosed Autistic school psychologist who left the public education system after recognising its incompatibility with neurodiversity-affirming practice.Jenna first recognised her own autism after her three-year-old daughter was identified. As she turned to Autistic voices for understanding, what began as advocacy for her child became a deeper self-recognition. Within months, she self-identified, and years later sought a formal diagnosis from an Autistic evaluator to connect more dots and model an Autistic identity for her children.This is a conversation about human rights, blueprint-building, leaving systems that harm, and crafting lives that actually work for autistic nervous systems.
Voters are frustrated by home prices, and the Senate will soon take up the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. But the bill is a 300-page melange of federal grants and pilot programs, plus a progressive ban on home purchases by big investors. Plus, 22 states sue over Donald Trump's tariffs under Section 122.

Tara takes aim at Washington politics and the media narrative surrounding immigration and domestic extremism. She argues Senator Lindsey Graham's sanctuary cities bill was intentionally structured to fail, calling it political theater designed for campaign ads rather than real reform. Later, Tara blasts major media outlets for how they covered an alleged bombing incident in New York City, saying the language used softened the severity of the attack. She also highlights a growing trend of major corporations and CEOs relocating to states like Florida, Texas, and Georgia—arguing businesses are fleeing high taxes, aggressive regulation, and what she calls political intimidation in blue states. SEGMENT SUMMARY: Tara begins by criticizing Senator Lindsey Graham, claiming his proposed legislation targeting sanctuary cities was designed to fail in the Senate. She argues that if the bill included even a minor financial component, it could pass through the budget process with only 51 votes. Instead, she says, the bill requires 60 votes due to the filibuster—making it unlikely to pass. She challenges Graham and Senator Tim Scott to publicly demand Senate leadership change the rules or remove the filibuster for immigration and election integrity legislation, including the SAVE Act. According to Tara, if they truly supported the policies, they would push leadership for a vote that could succeed. The discussion then shifts to media coverage of a bombing incident near the residence of New York City's mayor. Tara claims major outlets downplayed the attack and framed the suspects in sympathetic terms rather than clearly labeling the act as terrorism. She argues the reporting demonstrates a broader pattern of media bias in coverage of politically motivated violence. In the final segment, Tara points to a wave of corporate relocations from traditionally blue states to states like Florida, Texas, and Georgia. She cites examples of major companies and tech leaders moving operations or residences, arguing businesses are seeking lower taxes, friendlier regulatory environments, and more predictable legal systems. Tara says the trend reflects deeper economic and political divisions across the country, with businesses and individuals increasingly choosing states that align with their economic priorities. KEY TOPICS: Senate rules and the filibuster debate The proposed sanctuary cities legislation The SAVE Act and election integrity discussions Media coverage of alleged domestic terrorism incidents Corporate relocations from blue states to red states Economic and political polarization in the U.S. SOCIAL MEDIA POST:
Tara exposes what she calls a political stunt by Senator Lindsey Graham, arguing his “End Sanctuary Cities Act” was intentionally designed to fail. From Senate rules and the filibuster to pressure on Republican leadership, Tara breaks down how legislation can be structured to pass—or quietly die. She also challenges Graham and Tim Scott to publicly push leadership to eliminate the filibuster for key immigration and election integrity bills, including the SAFE Act. SEGMENT SUMMARY: Tara argues that Senator Lindsey Graham's push to end sanctuary cities is political theater designed to fail. According to Tara, the bill lacks a financial component that would allow it to pass through the Senate budget process with only 51 votes. Instead, it requires 60 votes to overcome a filibuster, making passage nearly impossible. She claims Graham, who chairs the Senate Budget Committee, intentionally structured the bill this way so it would appear tough on illegal immigration while ensuring it never becomes law. Tara also calls out Republican leadership, particularly Senate Majority Leader John Thune, saying the filibuster could be eliminated or modified for key votes. She points to former President Donald Trump, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and others who have supported removing the filibuster for legislation like the SAVE Act, which aims to remove illegal immigrants and ineligible voters from voter rolls. Tara challenges Graham and Senator Tim Scott to publicly demand that Senate leadership end the filibuster for these bills. She argues that if they truly supported ending sanctuary cities and securing elections, they would force a vote that could actually pass. Until then, she says, the entire effort amounts to political messaging rather than real reform. KEY TOPICS: The Senate filibuster and legislative strategy The proposed End Sanctuary Cities Act The SAVE Act and election integrity debates Internal Republican Party divisions over immigration policy Calls to pressure Senate leadership for rule changes SOCIAL MEDIA POST:

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Amy Kriewaldt, a late-diagnosed Autistic, ADHD, and PDA mother of three neurodivergent children.Amy grew up a hyperlexic piano prodigy, praised for talent and performance while quietly navigating sensory overwhelm, situational mutism, perfectionism, and crushing internal expectations. It wasn't until her children began receiving diagnoses that she started to recognise herself in their traits, and ultimately heard the words that changed everything: “Oh, I think you're Autistic.”Together, Angela and Amy explore hyperlexia, auditory processing differences, late self-recognition, self-compassion, memoir writing as a reframing, ADHD medication, self-medication through alcohol and caffeine, and the shift from compliance-based education to connection-centred learning.This is a conversation about reframing failure, advocating fiercely, rewriting your past, and building systems that support autistic people across the lifespan.
In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Claire Samuels, a proud Autistic speech-language pathologist whose journey to self-recognition unfolded inside the very system she would later question.Claire began her career as a Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) in the ABA industry, believing what she was told: that ABA was the gold standard for Autistic children. She loved the kids she worked with and believed she was making a positive impact. But as she read autistic voices, learned about interoception, and began recognising her own sensory and regulatory differences, cracks in the framework began to show.Together, Angela and Claire explore ABA, nuance, Autistic self-recognition, masking, sensory processing, burnout, and what it means to move from compliance-based therapy to connection-based communication.This episode is about shifting lenses, from behaviour to nervous systems, from control to connection, and from moral judgment to regulation.
In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Julie Farrell, a late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD writer, activist, and co-founder of The Inklusion Guide, a resource dedicated to making literature events accessible to disabled people.Julie shares her slow, layered journey toward understanding her neurodivergence — from burnout, migraines, and chronic illness labels, to finding herself mirrored in Autistic writers like Katherine May, to sobbing through the documentary Seeing the Unseen and finally knowing in her bones.Together, Angela and Julie explore masking, shutdowns mislabelled as anxiety, CPTSD, creative identity, freelance work as nervous system regulation, and the relief of receiving a diagnosis in a supportive, affirming environment. They also talk about ADHD medication, menstrual cycle titration, EMDR therapy, and what it feels like to “precipitate out of the hot goo” and become solid for the first time.This episode is also about Autistic joy — about stars, navigation, grief, and how Julie's late father taught her to look up at the night sky and find her way.
In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Helen Shaddock, a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and PhD researcher whose work explores autism, eating distress, OCD, and healing through creativity.Helen was diagnosed with anorexia at 13 and spent the next 25 years moving through eating-disorder pathways that never fully explained her experience. It wasn't until her late 30s — after years of treatment, physical injury, and burnout — that an occupational therapist recognised what others had missed: Helen was Autistic.Helen and Angela explore the long overlap between eating distress, OCD, and autism, how Autistic regulation was repeatedly misread as pathology, and how late diagnosis reframed decades of self-blame. Helen shares her experiences around interoception, stimming, routine, sensory regulation, and the difference between Autistic eating and eating disorder treatment.This episode is also about creative becoming — how art, writing, and storytelling can be tools for survival, meaning-making, and identity reconstruction.
In episode 2004, Jack and Miles are joined by poet, former public defender, co-founder and Executive Director of Partners for Justice, and author of The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Violent System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in America, Emily Galvin-Almanza, to discuss… MAGA Thinks Disney Deep Cuts Justify Trump’s Racist AI Post, That’s Weird...

Dear Humans, Today Donald Trump posted a racist AI video of the Obamas depicting them as apes. It was so vile they deleted it after the blowback, then tried to blame a staffer like he isn't the same man who constantly posts insane shit in the middle of the night. On today's episode of The God Show, Jesus and I covered the fallout, including a Trump voter calling into C-SPAN to apologize for voting for him and explain exactly why this finally snapped something in his brain. We also covered: Tim Scott's reaction and the accidental confession inside the phrase "most racist thing I've seen out of this White House" The White House's first defense: "fake outrage," "Lion King parody," and "report on something that matters" Why the "staffer did it" excuse is bullshit when the post went up late at night The pattern: racism + Epstein coverups + election intimidation + "move on" propaganda The "dual state" explanation of authoritarian life feeling weirdly normal until the prerogative state hits you The general state of the economy and why people are breaking under prices, healthcare, and corporate squeeze A little cultural sanity break with Sir Ian McKellen reciting Shakespeare They want you numb. They want you quiet. And they want you to accept open racism as background noise while they do worse things off camera.
