    If you've ever felt that you were doing your actual job perfectly well but somehow failing at the social expectations that come with it, in this episode you’ll hear the reasons, how bosses see you and what you can do to be understood.

    The Articulate Autistic, Jaime Heidel, discusses her new book Before You Fire Them: A Practical Guide to Understanding Your Autistic Employee's Traits, Intentions, and Communication Style. She explains how autistic employees are seen by bosses and other employees and how we can navigate our workplaces as autistics.

    We talk about things like:

    • The hidden meanings behind questions
    • The written instructions dilemma
    • The problem with asking why
    • The office greeting mystery
    • The eye contact double standard
    • Feedback that feels like an attack
    • The mystery of being a team player
    • The hyper-competence trap
    • Getting promoted and paid what you're worth

    And more!

    Jaime A. Heidel is The Articulate Autistic, an autistic writer and content creator who explores the misunderstandings between autistic and neurotypical people.

    There’s a reason routine appeals so strongly to some autistic minds while feeling like the enemy for others. Learn the surprisingly powerful rituals many neurodivergent people rely on, the everyday tasks that are worth putting on autopilot, and the parts of life better left wide open. And you might want to know why a routine you choose feels entirely different from one imposed on you. Whether routines are a lifeline, a struggle, or a bit of both, this episode offers fresh ways to think about them.

    When she started her medical practice, Dr. Mel Houser quickly realized there was a lack of healthcare that addressed the needs of neurodivergent people. She set out to challenge traditional norms to make care accessible. Along with her success came something she never expected—a new way of growing a community built around more than just medicine.

    From chronic illness to employment support and beyond, that kind of healthcare exists and in this episode you’ll learn about the resources that will guide you toward getting it.

    Dr. Houser, author of A Failure of Imagination: How the Healthcare System Fails Neurodivergent People—And What We're Doing Instead, tells how you can be empowered to recognize how your body feels and trust your intuition about your health. She provides the tools for you and for your healthcare provider to understand each other’s language. She explains how involving her community of patients defines how she practices neuroinclusive medicine.

    In a world of growing isolation, Dr Houser reveals the serious health implications of loneliness and offers a solution.

    It’s time for a change and this is where you can make a difference in your own life. Find out how in this conversation with Dr. Melissa Houser.

    Menopause touches almost everyone eventually, whether you're the one going through it, supporting someone who is, or know it's coming someday. Most of us walk into it with almost no real information. This episode is here to change that especially if you're autistic or love someone who is.

    This conversation, with information drawn from a recent study and the book Dr. Rachel Moseley wrote with her co-author Dr. Julie Gamble-Turner, Autistic Menopause: A Guide to the Menopausal Transition for Autistic People and Those Supporting Them gives you the information that’s important to know for this significant time of our lives, including:

    • why menopause can hit autistic people harder;
    • the double impact on memory and executive function;
    • why masking often becomes impossible to sustain;
    • what it does to communication while managing eye contact, tone, and content all at once.

    Rachel talks about something rarely discussed—the genuine upsides many autistic women report once they're through it.

    This is an enlightening conversation with researcher and psychologist Dr. Rachel Moseley. Check the link below to learn how you can participate in a study about menopause and its treatment.

    About the guest: Rachel Moseley, PhD, Principal Academic in Psychology at Bournemouth University (PhD in cognitive neuroscience) co-author of Autistic Menopause: A Guide to the Menopausal Transition for Autistic People and Those Supporting Them.

    *You’re invited to participate in a new study on menopause symptoms, treatment and neurodiversity. Use this link to get started. This is an online survey about menopause and menopause treatment. The researchers are particularly interested in how experiences of menopause treatment might differ between neurotypical and neurodivergent people and need to hear from people of all neurotypes.

    Notas del episodio

    Occupational therapy can empower autistics in our every day lives. Carolyn Gillen, an autistic occupational therapist working with neurodivergent women, breaks down how occupational therapy for autistic adults can help with:

    • recognizing hunger, thirst, and nervous system signals your body may not flag clearly;
    • navigating sensory processing that can swing between overwhelming and numb;
    • advocating for yourself in a doctor's office when your pain doesn't match your expression;
    • making small, practical shifts you can actually use;
    • breaking burnout into function, not willpower;
    • how OT treats these as functional, fixable friction points in daily life, not personality flaws to correct.

    She tells how to recognize a safe, supportive therapeutic space. She explains why coaching, burnout, and meditation might be worth a second look from an OT perspective.

    We autistics have a type of wealth, or capital, as a result of adapting, coping and growing as individuals with neurodivergent challenges. Essy Knopf, a therapist and author, has developed the Neurodivergent Cultural Wealth Framework, a valuable way to look at our neurodivergence. In this episode he explains what makes up the framework and how it enriches our lives with:

    • Self-Knowledge Capital
    • Adaptation Capital
    • Pattern Recognition Capital
    • Community Capital
    • Resistance Capital
    • Embodied Capital
    • Passion Capital
    • Identity Capital
    • Meaning-Making Capital

    This framework goes beyond deficit views of autistics and neurodivergents and explains how we have developed forms of knowledge, adaptation, perspective, and wisdom that are often overlooked when attention is focused solely on those deficits. This framework gives us a whole new way of looking at our lives.

    This is probably not the first time you’re hearing that many autistic and ADHD adults struggle on the job and not just due to sensory issues, although that’s a factor for sure. The bigger problem may be something else entirely. Something that has a solution.

    In this episode David Raynor tells his own story about a career path of jobs frequently won then lost and how he tired of hearing he had “so much potential.” After getting lots of failed advice from people who meant well, David turned inward and found answers. And he knows you can, too and that you don’t have to do it alone.

    David talks about Professionally Neurospicy, a community for neurodivergents to get the support they need in their jobs and careers. You’ll hear David’s advice about the one thing we can do to get the satisfaction we want.

    In this episode you’ll also learn:

    • Why many neurodivergent careers follow a cycle of success, burnout, and starting over
    • How to make better career decisions
    • Why workplaces benefit when neurodivergent employees are supported to thrive
    • How accommodations are actually workplace upgrades
    • Managing hyperfocus without relying on willpower
    • A different way of thinking about imposter syndrome
    • Building the confidence to advocate for yourself at work
    • What you'll find inside the Professionally NeuroSpicy community, including its Discord events, practical resources, and peer support for neurodivergent professionals

    Notas del episodio

    We’ve waited for decades for an autism assessment tool that reflects the experiences of adult women. The older diagnostic tools based on research of autistic boys left many of us misdiagnosed, overlooked, or completely missed.

    Dr. Rebecca Evanko set out to change that. After her own diagnosis at age 47, she used her background in cognitive linguistics, clinical practice and research to create an autism screening instrument developed specifically for adult women. It’s based on women’s personal experiences. It’s called WRADIANCE© Instrument and Protocol and is going into Phase III Clinical Trial.

    In this episode Rebecca also explains why the words clinicians choose can dramatically change an assessment outcome, how autistic burnout is often mistaken for personality disorders, and why traits like heightened pattern recognition and focused persistence deserve recognition as autistic strengths rather than symptoms to be explained away.

    The conversation also turns to identity after diagnosis, the grief many late-diagnosed women experience, and why therapies that include the body—not just the intellect—can play an important role in healing. Rebecca shares how equine-assisted therapy can help autistic women connect thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in ways that traditional talk therapy often cannot.

    In this episode:

    • The words a real psych evaluation used to describe an autistic woman and what they actually mean
    • Why cognitive linguistics — the study of how thought and language shape each other — explains so much of why women get missed
    • What existing autism assessments overlook about adult women
    • How autistic pattern recognition can appear as "intuition"
    • The women’s autistic strengths that deserve greater recognition
    • What horses can reveal about emotional regulation that talk-therapy alone cannot
    • And more that would make this list much too long

    The medical system wasn't built for women who ask too many questions, need more time, or leave an exam still wanting answers. As a result many women have learned not to trust their bodies and their needs. Nikki Vinckier, a Physician’s Assistant, spent a decade working in medical care before she decided to write the manual it didn’t come with.

    This conversation is not just about what's broken, but about what you can actually do about it before your next appointment.

    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • How the history of reproductive healthcare still shows up in exam rooms today
    • What medical gaslighting is and why autistic women are especially vulnerable
    • Why a clinician can’t address your health issues during your annual exam
    • How to communicate symptoms when the one-to-ten scale makes no sense for your brain
    • The approach that gets you care in an autistic-friendly environment
    • What trauma-informed care looks like in practice
    • Why you don't have to disclose that you're autistic, and what to say instead
    • Grounding techniques for exam rooms and waiting rooms

    Allie Memery never imagined that a late autism diagnosis at age 57 could be the launching pad for a whole new, satisfying life. In this episode she talks about the thing that became her special interest, the path to self-regulation and the social life that she couldn’t have expected.

    She did it all while handling menopause, taking care of her aging mother and facing her own personal challenges.

    Alllie talks candidly about:

    • How menopause amplified her sensory sensitivities long before she had any framework to understand why
    • The physical toll of years of unaccommodated autistic needs — and how the body keeps score
    • What it took to actually slow down when you've masked for decades
    • The unexpected source of regulation and community she discovered after her diagnosis
    • How her life was changed by a nature-inspired special interest
    • The peer support she now offers other late-diagnosed adults, and why she built it the way she did

    This one is practical, honest, and genuinely warm — exactly what you want from someone who's a few steps ahead on a path you might just be starting.

    What does thriving actually look like for a late-diagnosed autistic adult?

    Alexis Kruel gives a pretty specific answer from a life of contradictions.

    Alexis is a commercial model and actor who was diagnosed autistic at 53 and ADHD shortly after. But this isn't really a diagnosis story. It's a story about what happens when your whole life suddenly plays back differently, and every awkward moment, every friendship that went cold, every dinner party you wanted to escape, finally makes sense.

    She's built a life that genuinely fits her brain. In this conversation she talks about how she did it — and what she'd tell anyone who's still figuring that out.

    In this episode:

    • The video that stopped her cold and started everything
    • Sensory life in the 70s — polyester, crinolines, a doomed trip to Stride Rite
    • Why she was simultaneously popular yet seen as “different”
    • How the fear of being seen inspired her to become a model
    • How two autistic people built a marriage that works — and why she thinks that's not an accident
    • Her advice for finding your comfort after late diagnosis

    Have you ever felt like the world's volume is turned all the way up — and no one else seems to notice?

    For autistic people, sound sensitivity isn't just a quirk or an overreaction. It's a daily, exhausting reality. In this episode, you’ll hear what it actually feels like when everyday sounds become unbearable — and learn the science behind why it happens.

    In this episode:

    • Why between 50–70% of autistic people experience sound sensitivity at some point in their lives
    • The elements of sound that can push an autistic brain into overdrive: frequency, duration, quantity, repetition, and volume
    • What's happening in your brain when a disturbing noise sends your nervous system into fight-or-flight
    • Why the common advice to "just get used to it" can actually make things worse for autistic people
    • Practical tools and strategies that can help — from noise-canceling headphones to acoustic wall panels to earplug alternatives


    Meet My Autistic Brain is a podcast for late-discovered autistics and anyone who wants to understand what life on the spectrum really looks like — no filters, no sugarcoating.

    • How autism and ADHD can mask each other, leading to late or missed diagnoses
    • Practical advice on employment, salary negotiation, and finding work that fuels rather than drains you
    • Why autism and ADHD are often misunderstood as behavioral issues instead of neurodevelopmental disabilities
    • Misdiagnosis and what to look for in an autism/ADHD assessment

    In this episode therapist, author and autistic woman Sharon O'Connor shares her deeply personal journey to a late autism diagnosis and the burnout that changed everything.

    Sharon shares what it was like to begin recognizing herself in her young son's autism evaluation, how two dramatically different diagnostic assessments shaped her understanding and how she has healed from autistic burnout.

    Topics covered in this episode include:

    • What it's like to receive an autism diagnosis as an adult, and why the diagnostic experience matters as much as the outcome
    • The relationship between masking and autistic burnout — and why burnout is never a personal failure
    • Early warning signs that burnout may be approaching
    • Why energy is the foundation of autistic life, and how sensitivity to others' emotions is often a form of self-protection
    • How burnout affects our sense of identity
    • Practical suggestions for managing burnout when leaving a demanding job simply isn't an option
    • Why connection with other autistic people can be transformative
    • What life can look like on the other side of burnout

    If you’ve been curious about how AI might actually help neurodivergent people—not just in theory, but in real, everyday life—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

    This special episode is from a podcast I’m genuinely excited to share with you called Hyperfocus with Rae Jacobson. Rae brings in experts—scientists, doctors, and researchers—and together they go beyond the headlines to explore what’s really true about how neurodivergent brains work.

    In this featured episode, “What Could the AI Boom Mean For Neurodivergent People?”, the conversation is especially relevant. It looks at how AI can be used in meaningful, practical ways—particularly in the workplace—and how it can function as powerful assistive technology for neurodivergent people and those with disabilities.

    This is one of those episodes where you come away with both insight and possibility—real ideas you can think about, and maybe even try.

    There’s so much more in the conversation, and I’m really glad I get to share it with you. Take a listen and see what stands out for you.

    Can being autistic make a person a great detective? According to writer Tim Sullivan the answer is yes. He’s created a main character, Detective Sergeant George Cross, whose sense of justice, attention to detail and systematic approach to crime-solving gives him a distinct advantage. In an authentic portrayal of an autistic character Tim reveals why he writes about George and tells how George has become an endearing character in his books. This Cambridge-educated, screenwriter-turned-novelist demonstrates the importance of acceptance and the qualities that make autistics shine.
