Ali Bromley: Neurodivergence & Queerness

In this episode of The Rainbow Mind Podcast, Stephen is joined by the brilliant Ali Bromley — forensic psychologist, Big Brother winner, and passionate advocate for neurodivergent and queer visibility — for a deeply honest and insightful conversation about identity, representation, and mental health.

Ali opens up about her time in the Big Brother house, sharing what it was like to navigate the public eye as a neurodivergent lesbian and how she stayed grounded in compassion throughout. Her reflections offer a powerful perspective on the importance of visibility and what it means to be truly seen.

We also explore the intersections of neurodivergence and queerness, and how these overlapping identities can impact mental wellbeing — from emotional regulation and rejection sensitivity to anxiety, depression, and the need for more nuanced conversations in mainstream media.

With warmth, clarity, and courage, Ali brings a vital voice to this ongoing series of conversations — reminding us that compassion, in all its forms, is essential to understanding and supporting both neurodiversity and queerness.
