This week, I spoke to Amy, who was diagnosed with Autism at 35, after her son Otis's diagnosis. Otis is 5 and is non-speaking. We talk about shutdown, late diagnosis, unmasking, raising an Autistic child, and much more.

Apologies again for my sound issues on this one. It's now been fixed, so please bear with.

This week, I spoke to Sarah, a writer, photographer, actor, and disability advocate. Sarah is my first guest who wasn't my friend prior to recording, so a self-satisfied pat on the back to me for being a brave boy. Sarah and I spoke about work, AuDHD, sensory issues, and all sorts.

In the inaugural episode of the Shouty Brain Podcast, I introduce myself and share my personal journey of being diagnosed with autism and ADHD. I discuss the challenges of navigating a world that often feels unwelcoming to neurodiverse individuals and emphasise the importance of building a community for those who share similar experiences. The episode explores themes of masking, the exhaustion of social interactions, and the need for self-acceptance. I aim to create a space for honest conversations about neurodiversity, offering insights and support to listeners who may feel isolated in their struggles.
