The Cost of Asking Why: A Spoken Word Poem on Autism, ADHD, and the Price of Curiosity
What if your questions were too sharp, too fast, too much?
In this episode of Spoken, poet and nurse practitioner Kate Earley shares The Cost of Asking Why—a raw, lyrical reflection on growing up with undiagnosed autism and ADHD. Through childhood memories, clinical encounters, and moments of quiet rebellion, this poem explores how curiosity becomes criminalized when it comes from a neurodivergent mind.
