  • RUDE AWAKENING: How Rich’s adult autism diagnosis changed everything

    RUDE AWAKENING: How Rich’s adult autism diagnosis changed everything
    Jan 7 2026

    This week on LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox finally talk about the moment everything shifted. Rich has been diagnosed autistic as an adult.

    For the first time, they break down what the diagnosis unlocked. All the years Rich was called rude, blunt, quiet or detached. All the childhood rituals and intense interests that made perfect sense in hindsight. All the internal emotions he felt but never showed on his face. All the moments Rox misread him, thinking he was miserable, uninterested or distant. And the strange relief of finally having language for traits that were there the whole time, hiding in plain sight.

    From masking to overwhelm to years of being misunderstood, this is an honest, funny and emotional look at what adult autism really feels like when you finally get the answers you’ve been missing.

  • SURVIVING DECEMBER: Christmas after loss, trauma and estrangement

    SURVIVING DECEMBER: Christmas after loss, trauma and estrangement
    Dec 24 2025
    In this deeply personal Christmas episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich sits down with Rox—aka “the Grinch”—to unpack the real story behind her decades-long struggle with Christmas. What starts as a festive chat quickly becomes an honest, emotional journey through grief, trauma, family estrangement, alcoholism, shock, and the impossible pressure to feel joyful when your whole world has collapsed.

    Rox opens up about losing her mum and grandad within days of each other, navigating her dad’s long-term affair, spending Christmases alone in a basement flat with cider and a microwave dinner, the years of numbing, running, self-injury, and trying—and failing—to hold it all together. She also shares the complicated love of still wanting your dad, the devastation of being blocked, and the strange relief that comes when a door finally closes.

    But this isn’t just darkness. Rich and Rox trace the long road back: therapy breakthroughs, sobriety, chosen family, stepchildren, new traditions (including the legendary New Year’s Eve Fairy), and the slow, unexpected return of seasonal joy.

    If you find Christmas overwhelming, lonely, painful, or loaded with memories you can’t hold by yourself, this episode is for you.
