Oh em geee it’s the first episodeee! 

Kicking it off with some foundational information on autism & ADHD, including:

• factors contributing to late diagnosis
• the problem with functioning labels
• how the autism spectrum actually works
• the issue with the term Asperger’s
• & the deal with neurodiversity

Check the chapters below for a full breakdown of topics!

I’m thinking of making more Crash Course episodes and having them as a little educational miniseries, scattered amongst my other episodes that are based more upon my personal experiences! Think of it like the basics, the stuff you need to know so you can sound smart when educating people ;)

(apologies for the bird sounds and strange audio at times, didn't realise until I was editing oop)

happy listening, and let’s get weird
