I can’t put into words what this podcast means to me because I am autistic (lol)

“Wow. Granted, I had a huge need in my life that this podcast perfectly fit… but this podcast changed my life. For some reason adding a second child to my family really threw me off. Everything was an incredible struggle. I needed a change so I decided to finally get that neuropsych assessment done so I can start the adhd medicine that I knew I needed.
Come to find out I not only have adhd, but I am also autistic. As a 42 year old cis-white male attorney father of two, I had never considered this. I wa not educated about it and no one throughout my life ever suggested it. Sure, I had sensitivity to sounds, but I was just weak right? Parenting for me is a constant moment to moment risk assessment and I am constantly on edge, but I’m just weak and selfish because I’d rather be alone right?
When I was diagnosed I was so upset. It sent my already ongoing burnout into a full meltdown (I think). I have spent my whole adolescent life trying not to be a “r-slur” (I grew up in the 90s) i have such an internalized disgust for anything atypical because I was bullied about being that very thing and my entire motivation in my social development was to not be what everyone ridiculed me for because that’s what would make it stop.
In my attempts to find some source of information that resonated with me, I happened upon the episode about 4 signs of internalized ableness or something like that. It truly changed my whole perspective of myself and how I’ve gone through life. That episode was that one thing I needed to feel a positive connection to this diagnosis. It explained everything I knew about myself but I was previously only able to evaluate under the neurotypical expectations I was taught.
Hearing that episode made me realize this diagnosis isn’t a curse as I had taken it, but the key I’ve always needed to finally understanding myself and why I have struggled the way I have.
The host is so affirming and welcoming. The tone is more from a parenting angle, but honestly the way my brain works I can apply the knowledge to myself easier that way. Everything I have heard is presented very well and with care.”
