  • Theatrically Authentic: Waving Through a Window — Dear Evan Hansen

    In this episode of Theatrically Authentic, Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott dive into the emotional complexity of Dear Evan Hansen — a show about anxiety, isolation, social performance, and the dangerous power of finally being noticed.


    Together, they explore why the musical resonates so strongly with neurodivergent audiences, unpacking themes of masking, maladaptive daydreaming, rejection sensitivity, and the desperate need to belong.


    Blending musical analysis with personal lived experience, this episode examines what happens when honesty doesn’t feel safe — and the emotional consequences of building connection through performance instead of authenticity.


    Whether you see Evan Hansen as a victim, a villain, or something painfully in-between, this conversation asks a difficult question: what do people do when they believe the truth won’t make them lovable?

  • Info Dump: Doctor Who

    In the very first episode of Info Dump, host Hannah Brockway sits down with lifelong Whovian Megan for a joyful deep dive into one of television's most enduring science fiction series.


    Together they discuss favourite Doctors, companions and writers, the creativity behind the show's famously low-budget production, and why great storytelling has always mattered more than special effects. Megan also reflects on how Doctor Who has shaped her hobbies, travels and creative life, and why sharing a special interest with someone who genuinely wants to listen is such a rewarding experience.

  • Autistic Culture Podcast Rewind - Sherlock is Autistic

    In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast, hosts Dr. Angela Kingdon and Matt Lowry, LPP investigate Sherlock Holmes as an Autistic-coded cultural icon.


    🎧 What You’ll Learn:


    • Why Sherlock’s outsider status and “alien vibe” resonate with Autistic experiences of being misunderstood.
    • The Autistic good vibes of alone time, stimming (yes, pipes count!), deep research, and turning special interests into meaningful careers.
    • How bottom-up processing and monotropic focus help Autistics spot details and uncover truths others miss.
    • Why social batteries drain quickly for Autistics—and how ignoring this need for rest causes distress and breakdowns.
    • How moral “inflexibility” and generosity, often seen as naivety, are actually positive Autistic strengths.
    • A study showing Autistics refused to cheat for money, even when allistics did, and what that says about integrity.
    • How Dr. Watson’s appreciation of Sherlock’s loyalty and “great heart” mirrors the double empathy problem and ways Autistics and allistics can bridge it.

  • Hot Topic: Should You Tell Your Employer You Have ADHD?

    A BBC News article about an ADHD employment tribunal sparks a wider conversation about what it means to be neurodivergent at work.


    Jordan and Simon discuss reasonable adjustments, why communication differences are often misunderstood, and whether employers are keeping up with growing awareness of ADHD and autism. They also explore the difficult question many neurodivergent people now face: should you disclose your diagnosis during the hiring process, or could honesty work against you?

  • The Neurodivergent Experience: I’m Becoming An Incel, Help! | Reddit Stories

    In our first Reddit Stories episode, Jordan and Simon discuss four real-life neurodivergent dilemmas shared by the online community.


    They begin with a heartfelt post from a 16-year-old worried he's "becoming an incel" after years of rejection and social isolation, exploring autism, rejection sensitivity, masking and why school can feel so overwhelming. They also discuss why so many people with ADHD struggle to finish video games despite genuinely wanting to, before unpacking a workplace story about someone being mocked for their special interest—and why accepting people's passions matters more than we often realise. Finally, they explore a refreshing first date between two neurodivergent adults and discuss authenticity, relationships and finding people who truly understand you.


    The stories discussed in this episode are public Reddit posts. Titles may be shortened for readability, and all opinions expressed are those of the original posters.

  • Autism Help: ARFID and Autism

    In this episode of Autism Help, Heather McKay explores avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, commonly known as ARFID, and how it can affect autistic people.

    Heather discusses the different treatments currently offered for ARFID and explains why some approaches may be ineffective or even make eating more difficult for autistic people, including contributing to the loss of safe foods. She also introduces some of the changes that may help make support more appropriate and accessible.


    Content Note

    This episode includes detailed discussion of food, restrictive eating, eating disorders, and experiences of ARFID. Please listen with care if these subjects may be difficult or triggering for you.

  • Two Mics No Masking: Humor as Kryptonite to Hierarchy

    In this episode of Two Mics, No Masking, Katie Scott and Jenna Goldstein explore the power of humour as more than entertainment. For many neurodivergent people, laughter can challenge assumptions, expose contradictions, and create connection in ways that words alone often can't.


    Together they reflect on how humour can cut through hierarchy, question arbitrary rules, and reveal truths that others might prefer to ignore. From everyday interactions to wider social systems, Katie and Jenna discuss why humour can be a powerful form of resistance—and why, sometimes, it's also a way of surviving.
