Do autistic people just notice more… or is there something genuinely spooky going on?

In this Halloween-timed episode, Nic and Kate pick apart the myths and reality around “psychic” autistic people; from Trump’s Tylenol claims and paracetamol panic to pattern-spotting, vibes, Hitler’s chair, and the infamous Telepathy Tapes.

They share their own uncanny experiences, how hyper-awareness can look like mind-reading, and why even sceptics sometimes find themselves spooked.

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In this episode, Nic and Kate talk about the red flags to look out for, from outdated language like “with autism” to tokenistic “neurodiversity light” initiatives, and the all-too-familiar superpower clichés.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.

In this episode of Neurotypicals Don’t Juggle Chainsaws, Nic and Kate talk frankly about the feeling that life is held together with wobbly scaffolding and what happens when it all falls down.

It’s also about recognising when the systems that are meant to help often just add to the load and how hard it is to keep advocating when you're already running on empty.
