What happens when an oil rig engineer walks away from “safe,” follows curiosity, tears his Achilles (literally), and accidentally builds a multi-million follower neurodivergent ecosystem? In this episode, we sit down with Jason Iyeke... founder of NeuroJumpstart and the mind behind several ADHD and autism platforms reaching over 2 million people... to talk about diagnosis, identity, masking, grief, and what it actually means to find your lane as a neurodivergent human. We get into:
- The messy reality of late diagnosis (and why it’s not a “happily ever after”)
- The tension between “superpower” narratives and lived struggle
- AudHD and the internal tug-of-war between chaos and order
- Why belonging... not pathology... is driving the explosion in self-identification
- How neurodivergent minds may be uniquely wired for the AI era
It’s funny, honest, occasionally chaotic, and exactly what happens when two high-processing brains stop pretending to be normal and just…talk.
