Time Blindness, and Capitalism, and Frustrations (Oh My!)

Sep 25 2024 45 mins

Hey all! And welcome back for Season 4! It's a thing almost every neurospicy human has experienced: you've been sucked in to a favourite movie, book, or video game, or you're making great progress on that creative project you've been plugging away at for a while now. All of a sudden you look over at the clock and --CRAP! YOU'RE LATE! Such is life with time bl

Hey all! And welcome to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! Now, some of you may recall (from our social media posts and prior episode mentions) that this weekend was supposed to mark our appearance at the Midnight at Dawn Kink Convention in Sudbury, Ontario. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled. But Becca and I decided - hey now, why let that stop us? So w

Alright everyone - suit up and report to the Blackbird in 5; we're going on an adventure with the X-Men! It's no secret that Becca and I are MASSIVE nerds, and the X-Men in particular have always been near and dear to both of our hearts. With the recent release (and conclusion) of season 1 of X-Men '97 on Disney+, we felt the time was right to do a deep dive into why

Hey all! And welcome to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! Did you know that polycules don't have to be romantic? Well they don't! And this month, we talk all about how our platonic polycule works, how relationships and love can take many forms, and how its silly to try to fit them into strictly defined boxes. We also take some pot shots at Autism Aw

--CONTENT WARNING: SENSITIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT RELIGION AND TRAUMA-- Hey all! And welcome to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast.

"It's Not All Black and White!" - Exploring Black and White Thinking and the Neurospicy Strong Sense of Justice

Dec 11 2023 46 mins

Have you ever been accused of taking things too literally? Has anyone ever told you that you have an overly strong sense of justice? Are you neurospicy? If you answered yes to that last one, I'm willing to bet you answered yes to at least one of the previous two questions as well. And the thing is? Same over here for both of us! Black and white, rigid thinking and having a stro

Oct 18 2023 35 mins

That's right folks! It's yet again ADHD Awareness Month, and in what has to be the most appropriate turn of fate ever, we almost forgot to do this one. Because of course we did! ...ahem! Anyway! Despite our initial near-miss, we nevertheless pulled ourselves into semi-functional states long enough to put together an episode all about our own struggles, triumphs, and reflec
