About this listen

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott dive into the chaotic beauty of neurodivergent friendships. From the heartbreak of sensory overload to the emotional minefield of alexithymia and rejection sensitivity dysphoria, they unpack the complex layers of autistic–autistic relationships, misunderstanding ADHD traits, and the healing power of shared ND experience.


🎤 In this episode, you'll learn about:

  • Managing sensory hell in shared spaces (yes, that includes loud eaters and perfume)
  • Autistic love languages
  • How trauma and mental health shape ND friendships
  • Miscommunication, meltdowns, and how to repair after a shutdown
  • The real reason you stopped texting your bestie (and why they probably didn’t hate you)


If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “too sensitive,” this one’s for you.
