This week, Sam talks with George (he/they) who is a Brazilian autistic actor from the Bay Area. They talk about the importance of the neurodiversity paradigm, and why the pathological approach to autism is so harmful. They also talk about autistic representation in different popular TV shows!

In this episode, Sam has a great conversation with AJ, who is an 18 year old genderqueer person (they/he). They both talk about their experiences being gender non-conforming people and how their autism and OCD can affect being queer. They talk about Sexual Orientation OCD, Gender OCD, difficulties finding the "right" labels, and more! Explicit for some language.

In this episode, Sam talks with one of their very good friends, Grayson, who was diagnosed as autistic at a very young age. Together, they talk about school, navigating their differences, making friends, and dealing with trauma. Explicit for some language.

This episode is a Q&A of some recent questions my followers have asked me about my co-occurring conditions. In this episode, I talk about dealing with imposter syndrome, advocating for yourself, and how some of my conditions first started.

The very first episode where I talk about my own conditions/disorders and how the symptoms can sometimes be confusing. I also talk about issues with diagnosing multiple conditions, and how common it is to feel invalid without a diagnosis.

My Instagram is @divergentdino. Thanks for listening and please give me a follow if you want to hear more episodes. I am a neurodivergent human talking about my own experiences with multiple diagnoses.
