At the end of the episode, they give a shout out to our “Chronic Neurodivergent Depressed Queer Punk: Punk Rock, the Social Model of Disability, and the Dream of the Accepting Community” playlist. There’s a lot to learn about neurodivergent life and culture in that playlist.
Everything that was normally supposed to be hidden was brought to the front.
