“I’m wondering alongside the status symbol of having a trans identified child, if the bigger monster that isn’t (maybe) talked about as much/widely know / critiqued, is children and adult diagnosis of autism spectrum conditions. Linked to this is the huge amounts of financial incentives (and status) when receiving such a diagnosis. For some people being on a waiting list allows them to receive financial support. Not denying the usefulness for families/people that do need this but there is a pandemic of people seeking the diagnosis currently. Would love to hear people talking about the autism pandemic. Also very interesting podcast generally. I’ve given 4 stars as I don’t often hear about solutions (like for example would have been very interested to hear the alternatives to locking down during covid not only that it was bad) just critique.”
