People Who Think They're Helping and They're Not

Sometimes the hardest thing about being neurodivergent isn’t the challenges themselves, it’s the people who think they’re being helpful but really… aren’t.

In this episode, Nic and Kate talk about the red flags to look out for, from outdated language like “with autism” to tokenistic “neurodiversity light” initiatives, and the all-too-familiar superpower clichés. They share their own experiences of what actually feels supportive, what definitely doesn’t, and why good intentions aren’t enough without genuine understanding.
