Description

In this week’s Hot Topic of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott tackle the shocking claim made by Donald Trump linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism.

With humour, rage, and razor-sharp critique, they dismantle the dangerous rhetoric, exposing how misinformation from political leaders fuels stigma, fear, and ableism against autistic and ADHD communities. From debunking pseudoscience to unpacking why terms like “suffering from autism” dehumanise neurodivergent people, this is one of the most important conversations the show has ever hosted.

Together, Jordan and Simon discuss:

• Why Trump’s Tylenol-autism claim is scientifically baseless and politically motivated
• The harm of framing autism as an “epidemic” or “disease”
• How myths about the Amish and Cubans not being autistic are rooted in underreporting, not reality
• Why dangerous rhetoric reduces autistic lives to something “worse than death”
• The role of correlation vs. causation in autism research and why facts matter
• How conspiracy-style politics distract from real issues like healthcare, disability rights, and education

Whether you’re autistic, ADHD, neurodivergent, or care about truth in public discourse, this fiery episode blends sharp advocacy, science, and satire to call out misinformation at the highest levels of power.
