DISCLAIMER:As always it's important to state that we at Differently Brained are not medical professionals, and this episode contains our personal testimonies of being on medication. Furthermore, we have always been staunchly in favour of treatment for mental illness. The experiences in this episode have been shared as a means of conversation, and not for the dissemination of advice or education._________________

Jacinta and Lachlan chat about their own experiences of side effects of taking medication.And if you're reading this, don't forget to take your meds!

DISCLAIMER: All information presented in this episode was correct at the time of recording in July of 2024. Since then, some circumstances have changed, namely the Minister for the NDIS.____________________________________________________________
The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) - great idea, almost consistently failing in practice.There are a lot of folks who have had issues trying to get on to the NDIS, receive their entitlements, and generally not feel like they're a 'burden' on society.Jacinta is one such individual, and this week Lachlan asks her about the gauntlet she ran to try to be approved for the NDIS.We know that there are a lot of other stories out there, too.

It's been discussed before that some neurodivergent folks don't really vibe with idioms. Either they don't understand them, find them frustrating and trite, or don't parse the context together.Jacinta is one such neurodivergent person with this particular pet peeve (is that an idiom?) and Lachlan tests out some of the more egregious examples on her to figure out why.

One of our favourite things to ask our guests on Differently Brained is what resources or media show quality representation. This time, however, the discussion is all about what shows or movies make us feel comfy and a bit more regulated.In this very short episode you'll hear Jacinta and Lachlan talk about the things they never get tired of watching over and over and over and over and over again.

It's been roughly 18 months since we started this podcast, and we thought it'd be high time to reflect on the process, what we've learned and what we've struggled with. A behind-the -scenes look at Differently Brained.But more than that, this is an episode in which we hype each other. Love us.Love our show.
