There is a difference in neurodivergent people with how they perceive the world and how others think they should be perceiving the world. These views from the perspective of the neurodivergent can be dismissed or ignored, and it can be a form of emotional abuse. This week, Jess and Ellie discuss the matter and their experiences struggling with chronic invalidation.

While autism is a spectrum, there's the growing phrase, "Everyone is a little autistic." You can replace "autistic" with a plethora of other neurodiverse terms. This isn't true, though. Jess and Ellie discuss this phrase and explain why it can be damaging and how it affects people who have been diagnosed and live with these traits.

This may seem like an offbeat episode, but this week, Jess and Ellie are talking about the kitchen and food. The two dive into the world of grocery shopping and self-checkouts--since waiting in line for a cashier feels like a waste of time. They also discuss placing items in their kitchen and why that's important.

Finally, Jessica and Ellie can talk about something that they love in their personal lives: video games. While there aren't formal studies connecting the neurodivergent community to video gaming, both Jessica and Ellie relate how being neurodivergent and enjoying video games connect for them on a personal level.

The idea that you forget about people's emotions in relation to you or objects, in general, is a part of both neurotypical and neurodiverse communities, but it's something the neurodiverse community deal with a bit more. This week, Jessica and Ellie explain the concept a little bit further and discuss how it affects their lives.
