There’s a joke somewhere about four neurodivergent people walking into a recording booth and attempting to focus on the topic at hand. In this episode, Ashley (hi 👋) is joined by @camararollin, @jwertman, and @skyeg as they dive into the wide spectrum of neurodiversity, imposter syndrome in relation to identifying as neurodivergent, and how neurodivergence can often be misunderstood by the people who are meant to be the most helpful in supporting those individuals — namely doctors and educators. Additionally, find out how stacking diagnoses can feel like Pokémon evolutions (and of course, stick around to hear our favorite ones!).

Living with a health condition is expensive — and not always in the ways we think. In this important discussion led by @skyeg, @harrison-polo, and @chronicallymeh join and deliver some mic drops of their own. From hypomanic spending to pain-fueled shopping sprees to funding sensory sensitivities, the trio explore the tangible and emotional costs of health and disability. They suggest some tips and tools for managing and tracking your expenses, all while sifting through the following conundrum: What do you do when you need a job to pay for insurance and medical bills, but aren’t well enough to work? They don’t promise to have the answers, but they sure do deliver on the “ugh, ditto” factor.

Though I am not religious, it being Sunday seemed apt in terms of posting this meme. And in the spirit of confessions, I thought it also presented a good opportunity to voice the things we don’t ordinarily go out of our way to talk about.

Here is mine: since childhood, my excess adrenaline due to hyper vigilance, PTSD, and anxiety led to a lifetime habit of stimming (self stimulatory behaviour associated with self soothing or self regulation). It is embarrassing because I’m not always aware that I’m doing it. I have however found that oxygen therapy is helping to make me more calm and less likely to stim—but I think it’s unlikely the habit will ever go away entirely.

Anyone else care to use this safe space, to share something that you feel like you can’t easily talk about with others? 🤍
