In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott reflect on the past year — sharing personal wins, hard-earned growth, and the moments that changed how they see themselves as autistic adults.

Together, they explore how connection, shared lived experience, and honest conversation have helped them move forward — both personally and through the podcast itself. They also reflect on the growth of The Neurodivergent Experience, the power of community, and what it means to advocate without toxic positivity.

They discuss:

• Releasing long-held anger and emotional regulation
• Imposter syndrome and learning to acknowledge achievements
• Buying a home, building stability, and redefining success
• The power of community and shared lived experience
• Advocacy, self-belief, and breaking limiting narratives
• PDA, alexithymia, and personal growth through conversation
• How the podcast has supported both hosts and listeners
• Why neurodivergent people are more capable than they’re told

A reflective, hopeful conversation about growth, healing, and why believing in yourself can change everything.
