  • Hot Topic: Why Is "Autistic" Becoming an Insult?

    Hot Topic: Why Is "Autistic" Becoming an Insult?
    Jul 2 2026

    In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott is joined by neurodivergent mentor Sophie James to discuss a worrying trend emerging in schools and online: the word "autistic" being used as an insult.


    Drawing on Sophie's experiences mentoring young neurodivergent people, they explore why many autistic children and teenagers are now reluctant to disclose their diagnosis to friends, fearing judgment, exclusion, or ridicule. Together, they unpack how social media, outdated stereotypes, and deficit-based portrayals of autism may be shaping the way young people view the autistic community.


    A passionate and thought-provoking conversation about stigma, language, identity, and why changing the way we talk about autism matters just as much as raising awareness.

  • Young, Neurodivergent & Self-Employed: Building a Career That Fits Your Brain

    Young, Neurodivergent & Self-Employed: Building a Career That Fits Your Brain
    Jul 1 2026

    In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott is joined by neurodivergent mentor and advocate Sophie James for an inspiring conversation about building a career that works with your brain rather than against it. From late diagnosis and school struggles to launching her own mentoring business, Sophie shares how understanding herself changed the direction of her life.


    Together, Simon and Sophie explore the realities of young neurodivergent entrepreneurship, why traditional career paths don't work for everyone, and the value of creating work that aligns with your strengths, interests, and energy. They discuss emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), rejection sensitivity, finding community, and the importance of moving beyond deficit-based views of neurodivergence.


    A thoughtful, hopeful, and practical conversation about finding your own path, redefining success, and creating a working life that truly fits you.

  • Mindful Mondays With Ashley Dupuy | State or Trait? Rethinking Procrastination and Laziness

    Mindful Mondays With Ashley Dupuy | State or Trait? Rethinking Procrastination and Laziness
    Jun 28 2026
    Why can we know exactly what we need to do, genuinely want to do it, and still feel unable to begin?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the shame-heavy labels of procrastination and laziness, alongside the qualities our culture tends to praise: motivation, willpower, discipline and commitment.Rather than treating difficulty beginning as a character flaw, Ashley asks a more useful question:*What is getting in the way?*Through the neurodivergent lens of executive functioning, nervous-system states, identity, unconscious patterns and emotional regulation, this episode explores why intention does not always translate easily into action - even when the task appears simple from the outside.You’ll hear about:* the psychological question, “Is it state or trait?”* why procrastination is often connected to emotional regulation* how transition difficulties can look like avoidance* the invisible executive-function demands inside everyday tasks* functional freeze, hustle culture and the guilt of never truly resting* why shame creates heavier tasks rather than better motivation* the difference between knowing what to do and being able to initiate it* how identity and language can create a bridge towards change* dopamine, pursuit and the importance of a meaningful first step* the Buddhist principle of Right Effort and creating the conditions for growthAshley also explores why late-identified neurodivergent adults may begin struggling with tasks they once managed through urgency, adrenaline, masking and fear - and why this can represent the exhaustion of an old fuel source rather than a loss of character.The episode closes with *Building the Bridge*, a short metaphorical meditation about a traveller learning to cross the distance between intention and action one steady piece at a time.Because the visible task may take five minutes while the nervous system has spent five hours trying to reach the starting line.Mindful Mondays is part of The Neurodivergent Experience, now within the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.Find Ashley’s longer meditations, Yoga Nidras, nervous-system practices and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching *Ashley Dupuy*.To register your interest in Ashley’s September From Mask to Map group coaching cohort, email *[integrativeiom@gmail.com](mailto:integrativeiom@gmail.com)*.Our Sponsors:🧘‍♀️ Ashley Dupuy – Integrative Coaching, Breathwork & Hypnotherapy→ https://bit.ly/ashleynde🤝 Sophie James - Neurodivergent Mentoring→ sophiejamesndmentoring.com🔗 Stay ConnectedInstagram: @theneurodivergentexperiencepodFacebook: The Neurodivergent Experience & Jordan's Facebook pageYouTube: @TheNeurodivergentExperienceTikTok: @neurodivergentexperience🎧 The Neurodivergent Experience is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify🔔 Turn on notifications for new weekly episodes🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com Hosted on Acast.
