The Neurodivergent Experience

Shiny Things: Autistic Collecting & The Accumulation Of Special Interests


Listen Later

In this engaging conversation, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the themes of self-care, stress management, and the psychology behind collecting and purchasing items.


They share personal experiences with financial management and the impact of obsessions on their lives, particularly in relation to their neurodivergent experiences. They explore the themes of nostalgia, how childhood experiences shape adult behaviours, the impact of having disposable income on purchasing habits, and the connection to one's inner child. The dialogue highlights the complexities of interests and obsessions, emphasizing the emotional satisfaction derived from indulging in passions and the societal influences that drive consumer behaviour.
