🎙️ With wit, passion, and deep lived experience, the hosts dive into:
- The science behind CBD, what it does and their own experiences using CBD as neurodivergent adults
- Why targeting only "severely autistic boys" is problematic
- The dangers of reducing neurodivergent behavior to something that needs to be fixed
- Why understanding the "why" behind behavior matters more than masking or muting it
🔥 If you've ever questioned the ethics of autism research or want a more compassionate take on supporting autistic children, this episode is a must-listen.
