Boys and men are routinely diagnosed as autistic more than women and girls, who're often wrongly overlooked. One of those women was this weeks guest Holly Smale. It's only since Holly sold millions of copies of her book Geek Girl did she realise that she and the character in her book were living with autism. Harriet and Holly talk about what led Holly to get this diagnosis and what having it has made her realise about her life.
Also in this episode, are we really still talking about Kate Winslet's body, and in the papers to boot? And one listener is concerned that her friends don't like her partner.

Ep 400 - A Badass Reunion

Everyone will experience feminism differently, especially women of colour, but are we leaving BAME women out of the conversation? Harriets guest is MP and author Rabina Khan, who argues that the feminism movement is being led by white women and that the platform isn't equal.
Also in this episode, we're all free! So now what? And one listener really doesn't want to go back to the office, so can they just quit?

“It’s not you, it’s me”, come on you’re better than that!
This week comedian and author Rosie Wilby is explaining to Harriet how you can break up better and she’s speaking from experience, Rosie was dumped by email back in 2011 and since then has been researching the art of the break up resulting in her book and podcast; The Breakup Monologues. 
Hear why being dumped is chemically the same as withdrawing from a drug, whether it’s a good idea to stay friends and how to make it through the "three-year slump." 
On the topic of love, coupling up, breaking up and consciously de-coupling Harriet’s second podcast Undercover Lover is back! As Love Island returns to the nation's screens Harriet knows that whilst you might say otherwise your head is definitely turned! Every Sunday she and a fellow closet watcher will be dissecting the week's goings-on in the villa, it’s the podcast for those of you who are side-eyeing your feminism every night at 9 this summer. Follow wherever you get your podcasts.
