“I’ve ummed and ahed about making this comment.
I discovered this podcast when I was first diagnosed and was looking for material to learn about my new diagnosis. At first I found it really refreshing. The silly joking mixed in with fantastic information from reliable sources and delivered by people who know what they are talking about. This side of the podcast I still enjoy, and value. The part I find particularly dangerous though is how enabling this podcast is to having or developing a ‘victim mentality’. Two PHD doctors claiming that being required to fill in forms is “ableist” is preposterous. As someone who has ADHD, Bipolar, and apparently ‘high functioning autism’ I understand things being a struggle at times and the genuine need to get assistance, but I never look to excuse my behaviour or make my problems anyone elses. These things are also not part of who I am as a person, nor will I ever let them become that. I truly feel that with the waves of young ‘TikTok’ kids coming through with self diagnosis, who not only treat mental illness as a personality trait but they also expect the world to bend the knee to their wants and needs, podcasts that even slightly tilt toward victim hood enable these attitudes further.
I’m hoping I get my point across without rambling too much, and I do genuinely care for the three of you even if I don’t know you at all personally, but it’s a danger I see and it’s also a progression I’ve seen develop in you guys the hosts as well (as presented on the podcast).”

“I have struggled through many episodes. The information is excellent, but sadly it is drowned in a constant flood of unnecessary profanity and the humour is based on the berating of one of the hosts. It is such a pity as the hosts are well educated and knowledgable.”
