This podcast offers new perspectives and is worth listening to

A friend of mine recommended episode 2, which is long, and worth every second. One of the most amazing, insightful, revolutionary, necessary things I’ve ever heard.

Both of the hosts are such smart, thoughtful people (with very good podcast voices). Their takes are on point - intersectional, current, and nuanced. I can’t wait to see where the season and show go, and I hope more people listen to it and start to rethink their relationship to disability and neurodivergence, both of others and within themselves. Thank you for creating this show!

Thank you so much for dedicating your time to sharing such an important message. I have been struggling since graduating high school to find out what is “wrong” with me because, while I am academically inclined, I struggle so hard to produce work at a pace and quality that the world expects of me. I’ve never had the financial resources to consider even searching for a formal diagnosis but have come to self identify as autistic and having ADHD and you finally have brought clarity to my confusion about why these symptoms overlap so neatly. I’ve also been grappling with the fact that none of the support that is offered is genuinely helpful or working towards an actual solution but rather making me dependent on the psychiatric industry which I feel would never even have been allowed to develop as it has without big pharma realizing they can make a pretty penny off of it. All of my adverse experiences have been leading me to capitalism as the root of the suffering and this podcast has allowed me to fully deny whatever “authority” psychiatry claims to have over the public. I finally feel I can stop blaming myself for all this suffering and work to find others interested in finding community-driven solutions. Thank you again! 🙏🏻💜
