They critique a recent article in The Independent that reflects on the themes of the last episodes hot topic around Bella Ramsey being diagnosed Autistic. The articles author dismisses self diagnosis as 'armchair diagnoses', bashes social media advocating as misinformation and brands the act of suggesting to someone they may be neurodivergent as a rude and unacceptable thing to do. Simon and Jordan emphasize the importance of understanding and celebrating neurodivergence while addressing the harmful narratives perpetuated by ill informed media outlets and share personal experiences and insights on navigating conversations about neurodivergence, celebrating neurodiversity and the positive aspects of being autistic.
The conversation shifts to the controversial changes proposed by NHS England regarding the Right to Choose, highlighting the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in accessing timely diagnoses and support.
