Have you ever been told, or told yourself, that you just need to try harder to be normal? In this episode I look at where that idea comes from, why Western society and capitalism are built around such a narrow picture of a good worker or a good person, and why I don’t think you need fixing.

  • The “ideal person” we’re measured against, and why asking “what is wrong with me?” is the wrong question
  • A speculative look at how ADHD and autistic traits may have been useful to early human groups
  • Queer and trans history: homosexuality was classed as a mental disorder until 1973 (APA) and 1990 (WHO), and the roots of anti-LGBTQ+ laws in colonialism
  • Gender-diverse roles across cultures, including the Hijra in South Asia and two-spirit people in North America
  • Same-sex pairing in the animal kingdom, from albatrosses to bonobos to penguins
  • A small thing to try: next time you think “what’s wrong with me?”, ask “what is this trait good for?” and “where am I being asked to do a job I’m not built for?”

Struggling in a world that wasn’t built for you does not make you broken. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Comment on YouTube or message me through my website, neuroqueeragenda.com
