In this milestone episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott celebrate a huge moment — over 100,000 downloads — and reflect on how the podcast has transformed their lives and the wider neurodivergent community.
What began as a passion project between two friends has become a lifeline for thousands of listeners around the world. Jordan and Simon open up about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating an independent podcast, the emotional highs and lows of advocacy, and the incredible messages they’ve received from listeners who finally feel seen and understood.
But this episode is more than a celebration — it’s a deeply personal look at how friendship, vulnerability, and community can rewrite long-held myths about autism and ADHD. The pair discuss the damaging stereotype that autistic people “prefer to be alone,” and how finding connection with others like themselves became the most healing experience of all.

Heartfelt, funny, and reflective, this episode is a love letter to their listeners — a celebration of what happens when neurodivergent voices are given space, support, and each other.
