About this listen

We are Emma and Claire, and we are late diagnosed AuDHD and autistic... this podcast is us talking about our journeys, through initially learning about autism (and ADHD) in our thirties to discovering how that impacts us personally, and why our neurodivergent brains work like they do.That'll Be The 'Tism, Emma Sails Social Sciences

  • Episode 17: June Spoon
    Dec 7 2025

    Thanks for joining us for episode 17 of our podcast about our lives as late-diagnosed/discovered neurodivergent people! This time, we are having a #spoonless episode, and that's OK! This means a less structured version of the podcast, so no autistic trait of the week or hyperfocuses.
    Links to where you can find us are here as always: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thatllbethetism⁠ but why not follow us so you get notified about our next episode?⁠
    Episode 17 contains:

    - Why there's no spoons

    - Emma's ADHD medication experiences in week 1

    - Claire's routine change, and how this has affected her this week

    - Was Hitler AuDHD? We watched the new Channel 4 documentary, Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a Serial Killer and discussed this

    - Manatee facts, sofa sloths, and things that definitely aren't true about manatee and sloth teeth
    Podcast easter egg; We've named this episode after our favourite example of transcription silliness. If you spot where in the podcast this cropped up, let us know! Because of the spoon deficit this week, we only had one other choice! "Prototype Ram's Wedding". We think we chose correctly.
