Clinical Misfits is a podcast exploring neurodivergence, burnout, and healthcare through the lens of lived experience and clinical practice.
Hosted by Dr Mary Sims, a neurodivergent neurologist, the series examines how medicine often misunderstands neurodivergent people — and how earlier recognition, more holistic approaches, and better-informed care could radically improve outcomes for autistic and otherwise neurodivergent patients.
Blending medicine, lived experience, systems-thinking, and unapologetically neurodivergent analysis, Clinical Misfits opens an important conversation about how healthcare can better serve neurodivergent people for the benefit of everyone.
Produced for the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.

Identifying Clinical Misfits
Season 1 · Episode 1
lundi 22 juin 2026 • Duration 30:33
Dr Mary Sims is an AuDHD (autistic with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and some overlap with obsessive compulsive disorder) who has both dealt with neurodivergent patients in crisis and been one herself.
In Episode One of Clinical Misfits, Dr Mary describes in detail a unique way to identify neurodivergent people who are approaching or in the middle of burnout, who she calls Clinical Misfits. She emphasizes a gestalt approach to diagnosis, looking for patterns, in true autistic style, rather than focusing on specific organ systems, or parts of the body, and the afflictions thereof.
The episode recommends a thorough examination of all parts of a person's life, looking for numerous vague symptoms, in many different categories, that have characteristics commonly seen in neurodivergent people in crisis. Below are links to materials that may be helpful.
