Kristen describes growing up undiagnosed despite paperwork indicating autism, receiving a sensory processing disorder label, struggling for school accommodations (IEP/504), and coping with noise sensitivity, shutdowns, and masking. She shares how homeschooling, returning to public school, reliance on one close friend, and later anxiety and depression medication shaped her experience, and how losing that friendship helped her unmask. Kristen explains reconnecting with childhood interests (American Girl dolls, Littlest Pet Shop, coloring, Barbie movies), her nonsexual “little space,” and using adult pacifiers for oral fixation, stimming, and reducing finger picking. She discusses viral backlash, bullying, and misinformation about teeth, support from her mom and friend, and encourages others to pursue inner child healing without shame.

    Unmasking with Charlotte Bergslein (The Spectrum Girl): Late Autism/ADHD Diagnosis, Complex PTSD, and Ehlers-Danlos The host interviews Charlotte Bergslein, a Norwegian creator known as “The Spectrum Girl,” about her personal neurodivergent story. Charlotte shares feeling different and depressed from early childhood after her parents’ divorce, lifelong loneliness and misunderstandings, bullying and social rejection, and years of conflict in school, work, and relationships. After a major life crash, severe depression, and intensive trauma therapy, she was diagnosed at 38 with autism and ADHD, describing masking and how complex PTSD and burnout were shaped by years of being undiagnosed and mislabeled. She discusses family reactions, including her mother’s guilt, her sister’s earlier ADHD diagnosis, and her belief that her father is likely undiagnosed autistic. Charlotte talks about building community online, the benefits and harms of a larger platform, and how reaching out to followers helped during a December crisis involving betrayal, bullying, and self-harm risk. She also explains being diagnosed at 39 with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome after years of medical gaslighting, how she adapts to chronic pain and mobility limits (including using airport wheelchair assistance), and what she wishes people understood about invisible disabilities. She ends by calling for more kindness, patience, and space for autistic people to ask questions without judgment. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 02:49 Meet Spectrum Girl 03:32 Feeling Different Early 06:53 Life Crash and Diagnosis 09:23 Taboo and Self Doubt 11:45 Therapy and Masking 18:08 Trauma Roots in Childhood 21:50 Bullying and Social Exclusion 25:12 Abuse and Workplace Harassment 31:51 PTSD vs Autism Clarity 35:57 Family Reactions and Heredity 42:16 Sister Relationship Dynamics 44:04 Social Media Advocacy Challenges 50:44 Crisis and Reaching Out 53:19 Community Support Saves 55:28 Fighting Back With Tools 57:00 December Rejection Fallout 01:00:36 Exposure Plans and Logistics 01:04:43 Small Steps Talking Again 01:05:18 Ehlers-Danlos Diagnosis Journey 01:15:07 Living With Pain and Limits 01:17:16 Invisible Disability Awareness 01:25:02 Mobility Aids and Travel 01:29:03 Kindness and Final Takeaways Hosted on Acast.

    DisElectAbility: Deep Diving Into Transphobia in the United Kingdom with Ashleigh Talbot from What The Trans?!

    SynopsisIn this powerful episode of DisElectAbility, host Aar Jae Williams is joined by Ashleigh Talbot, co-founder of the independent trans news podcast What The Trans?!. Together, they explore the current political, social, and media landscape affecting the UK’s trans and disabled communities. The conversation spans the deeply controversial Supreme Court ruling in For Women Scotland v. Scottish Ministers, the impact of the Sullivan and Cass reviews on trans healthcare, the role of right-wing US influence in shaping UK policy, and the devastating proposed cuts to disability benefits like PIP under the Labour government. Ashleigh, a wheelchair user and MS patient, brings a razor-sharp critique of media transphobia, the NHS’s failures in supporting marginalised identities, and the performative neutrality of mainstream journalism. The episode also features a heartfelt voice note from trans activist Bex Foulsham responding to the Supreme Court ruling, emphasizing the psychological toll and erosion of legal protections for trans people in the UK. From media myths to grassroots resistance, this is a call to action: resist, organize, support one another, and push back against a growing wave of ableism and transphobia.
