Fun new episode up about my special interests, including Tori Amos, Cleopatra, and Neurodivergence. I explore how these intense passions bring so much joy and purpose to many autistic and neurodivergent individuals. I also discuss how suppressing them for years, feeling pressure to "leave childish things behind", left me feeling joyless and losing my connection to self.

🎙Exciting News!🎙

I had the incredible opportunity to join Reid Miles on Inside the Asperger's Studio for my first ever interview for the podcast! Reid and I have a real heart-to-heart about some of the unique challenges of autism, including sound sensitivity and making friends, as well as the huge relief of finally understanding why I always felt different and how my diagnosis empowered me to shed old labels like "difficult". We also chat a bit about special interests and how creating My Autistic World has been a deeply therapeutic way to explore my mental health journey.

I've been loving this podcast the last few weeks. Just about listened to every episode so far already. Highly recommend.

Being Neurodivergent is often shrouded in misconceptions, stereotypes, and limited knowledge. While our experiences may overlap, no two stories are the same. Hosted by The Autistic Photographer, Jordan James, and Simon Scott - The Neurodivergent Experience is the weekly podcast dedicated to exploring the vast world of Autism, ADHD and more!

Through this podcast, we aim to challenge those misconceptions and dive deep into the diverse experiences of those in the spectrum by sharing our personal stories, and exploring topics like early interventions, sensory processing, education, employment, and much more. Each episode will feature insightful conversations about living in the spectrum, with guest experts, advocates, and allies who are passionate about creating an inclusive and accepting world.

Whether you're Neurodivergent yourself, a friend, family member, or simply curious about this extraordinary way of experiencing the world, this podcast is your guide to unravelling The Neurodivergent Experience.
