024 We’re Neurodivergent! aka Finding Out You Have an Autistic / ADHD Brain in Your 30s
We’ve had big revelations in the last few weeks and we’re ready to talk about discovering that we’re on the spectrum (Nichole) and have ADHD (Callie) We learned that these are both WAY under-diagnosed in people assigned female at birth because the science was based on the male brain. We have a lot to say about all this, and we hope it might help others realize things about themselves or their loved ones!

Nichole [00:00:27] Hey, everyone, I’m autistic.
Callie [00:00:33] And I’m ADHD.
Nichole [00:00:38] Callie and I are just perpetually coming out. So here we are yet again, new identities discovered here to represent neurodiversity.
Callie [00:00:49] Yeah. And coming to it later in life, that’s going to be a big part of our discussion today. And just the kind of fuckery that happens when you don’t get told by any experts.
Nichole [00:01:02] Yeah. And you get to just think that you’re a fucking loser your whole life and things are just hard for you for no reason. And you just need to try harder and then you’ll be better.
Callie [00:01:13] Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
Nichole [00:01:17] Were you recording? Because I wasn’t.
Callie [00:01:22] No.
