(Neuro)Diverse Dialogues

Fréquence : 1 épisode/13j. Total Éps: 16

Ever wondered what your colleagues or students who describe as neurodivergent really experience or how they feel about life in academia - but have been a bit fearful of asking?

These chats are an opportunity for people who describe themselves as neurodivergent to talk about their life experiences and how they navigate the neurotypical waters of academia - and for me to ask questions I have always wanted to ask.

I aim to load new chats fortnightly and if you would like to take part, or to suggest someone who might, then please let me know.

The more we talk the more we learn.

Rosie (undergraduate) Breaking The OCD Cycle: Intrusive Thoughts, Therapy, And Everyday Life

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 26 janvier 2026 • Durée 23:32

A tidy desk isn’t the story. Rosie, a third-year biochemistry student, opens up about the reality of OCD: intrusive thoughts that hit like alarms, compulsions that promise relief and steal time, and the slow, deliberate work of exposure therapy that teaches the brain to stop demanding rituals. We pull apart the myths and look at what day-to-day life actually feels like when your mind whispers “what if” at the worst possible times.<br><br>You’ll hear how driving became a minefield of doubt, how health anxiety fed a late-night Google loop, and why reassurance—whether from friends, managers, or search results—can quietly make OCD stronger. Rosie shares practical tools from therapy: naming the intrusive voice to reduce its authority, exposure and response prevention for contamination fears, and the discipline of not checking even when anxiety peaks. We also dig into system barriers that delay formal diagnosis, the cost of being misunderstood at work or uni, and the importance of language-why “I have OCD” matters, and why “I’m so OCD” jokes lands so badly. There’s no sugar-coating, and there’s no hopelessness either. Instead, we talk strategy: how to manage flare-ups, design a career that respects mental health limits, and reclaim study hours from rumination. If you care about mental health, neurodiversity, or supporting someone who lives with OCD, this conversation offers clear takeaways, humane insight, and resources like OCD Action to keep learning. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with one thing you learned—your notes help others find these stories.

Tom - What Changes When You Stop Measuring Your Brain By Neurotypical Rules

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

lundi 6 juillet 2026 • Durée 36:52

I had the amazing opportunity to talk to Dr Tom Nicholson on the podcast #NeurodiverseDialogues. On this we hear a story in mark contrast to when I spoke to Sally Ingram MBE regarding the impact that having support or not has on young people (and then through life).

Sally talked of a teacher who came alongside her and supported her and endeavoured to understand. Tom had the opposite brutal experience, but he battled his way through and now uses this experience to talk nationally and beyond, and to encourage and support others who are neurodivergent and those who aren't but seek to support those who are. I strongly urge you to engage with his work, and heady combination of evidence and experience based work.

Between the two this is a real insight into the difference that we can make in our students, our colleagues, our friends, our families and neighbours lives.

I strongly recommend you listen to both and find your own messages, and hacks and advice within, he can be found via his website:

Over all these 2 are stories of how people have taken their real life experiences, good and hard, and turning them into opportunities to support and encourage others.

Apologies but I set the wrong release date so this came out a week early!

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

lundi 9 mars 2026 • Durée 22:39

In this episode we had to start and stop as Misha had to change locations (which has a certain symmetry as they talk about their experience in moving countries too!). In the name of autheticity we carried on and as alweays I leave it unedited for you

Christina (Lecturer) - Neurodiversity, Labels And Lived Reality

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 9 février 2026 • Durée 27:27

Ever felt like you’re gliding on the surface while paddling like mad underneath? Christina shares what a late ADHD diagnosis revealed about masking, invisible effort, and why looking calm on the surface often means below the waterline.

Tired of the “neurodiversity as superpower” cliché? We dig into real role models, disclosure, and accommodations that work in education and beyond, not just on paper.

From gothic literature to lab life, Christina unpacks how early “quirky” interests, pattern-seeking, and hyperfocus later aligned with a research career built on variety, problem-solving, and intellectual intensity. We talk about food routines, late diagnosis, and the quiet cost of fitting in. Hear an honest account of neurodiversity at work.

What if the label you avoided for years became the key to designing a life that finally fits? That’s the pivot Christina shares as we trace her path from literary goth kid to scientist, from a winter move to Norway to a late ADHD diagnosis that reframed effort, energy, and why trying harder did not always fix the problem. It’s not a story about becoming someone new. It’s a story about getting the language and leverage to ask for what works.

We talk about the hidden cost of masking and why appearing calm and competent often conceals heavy, invisible cognitive labour. Christina opens up about food and consistency: forgetting to eat during the day, relying on predictable textures just to get calories in, and how that pulled her toward ultra-processed snacks. She shares how she rebuilt routines using low-decision, higher-nutrition swaps that supported focus without turning every choice into a willpower test. We unpack the link between physical health and attention, and how small guardrails around sleep, movement, and structured meals can stabilise the mind.

We also talk about the “D-word”, disclosure, a loaded word that can be the bridge to reasonable adjustments. Seeing a colleague speak openly about neurodivergence gave Christina permission to do the same, and we explore how that honesty challenges networking culture, performative professionalism, and the pressure to conform. We push past the “neurodiversity as superpower” cliché to reflect on the importance of authentic role models who talk honestly about both strengths and friction.

Sally - A Good Teacher Can Change A Dyslexia Story

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

lundi 29 juin 2026 • Durée 35:32

Kat - From Graduate To Dietitian With A Dual Diagnosis

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

lundi 15 juin 2026 • Durée 28:30

Warning: On this episode Kat and I are joined but a Jack Russell contributing vocally at time (not for long). This Causes a little disruption but in maintaining Kats stoic resiliance I have not edited. Thanks Kat!

People love tidy labels for autism and ADHD, but real neurodiversity refuses to stay in a single box. We sit down with Kat, a newly qualified dietitian who has a dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD, and we follow her path through higher education, diagnosis, and into clinical practice. Along the way she shares what it feels like when your traits do not match the stereotypes, and why that mismatch can leave you doubting yourself even when you are clearly capable.

Kat talks candidly about her diagnosis journey, including an earlier OCD label that, in hindsight, may have been a misread of autistic traits. She explains the relief of finally having a framework that makes childhood memories, social misunderstandings, and sensory overload add up. We dig into the details people often miss: being highly sensitive rather than emotionally detached, taking language literally, and the exhausting work of dealing with “hidden meanings” in everyday conversations.

We also get practical about neurodiversity at work. Kat describes how openness can unlock reasonable adjustments, reduce burnout, and help you perform better as a clinician. She highlights strengths her team values, like attention to detail and clinical curiosity, plus the courage to question processes that do not make sense. We talk hyperfixations, comfort foods, safe clothing, and the less-discussed impact of moral justice sensitivity when something feels unfair and you cannot let it go.

If you have ever been told you are “not really” autistic or ADHD because you do not fit someone else’s template, this conversation will land. Subscribe for more honest stories, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.
