I'm a 46 yo female. I wasn't diagnosed with adhd til I was 38 and ONLY because my son's kindergarten teacher thought he had adhd. When I was filling out the paperwork for him, I realized I was describing myself as well. Now, at the age of 46, my son, now age 13, was diagnosed with high functioning autism. I showed the paperwork to my shrink and guess who is also autistic? It's so great to be a woman 🙄

[@lakshmivallabh6936]

I mean..I'd say anyone cna get Autism or ADHD or both at the same time!

[@kells4315]

Yeah we don’t talk enough about how genetic it is. I have autism/ADHD, also late diagnosed as an adult woman, and I’m very certain my mom has it too. I’m also a mom and wondering how my kids will be! (My kid is only 3). But I’m excited that either way I’ll know how to accommodate it!

[@amberpfister]

@kells4315 In our case, it was SO genetic. My son and I had a super rare genetic disorder called Infant Epilepsy. Basically, if the baby is awake, the baby is having a seizure til about 18-24 mos. Sadly, the drugs, not the disorder, cause adhd and possibly the autism. Because it's so rare, they only discovered the affected gene in 2008 and not much more has been discovered since.

[@morningboy_]

@@lakshmivallabh6936anyone can, but it's more common for women who have them to be ignored and not diagnosed! they're common in both men and women but the medical system ignores women a lot

[@orangecatactually]

[@AceWolfify]

@@orangecatactually Therapy is hard. There really isn't a once size fits all approach that helps everyone. Hell, a good therapist might not work for you. Finding a therapist in itself is a difficult (and sometimes demoralizing) task. And furthermore, therapy is for more than just neuro-divergent people. So a therapy approach that focuses away from addressing certain illnesses/condition might work better in a general population that doesn't have those things. But if you are neuro-divergent, knowing what you're dealing with and specific ways to handle them can be helpful. So it is "weird" that a therapist doesn't believe in diagnosis because that might be detrimental to the patient. Also, not all neuro-divergent people are the same. A diagnosis might be helpful or it might just make things harder in different ways. I think Alexander Avila's video "Tiktok gave me Autism" is a really good examination about this subject.

Jordan being candid about his bipolar really helps me come to terms with my recent bipolar two diagnosis. 😊🙏 Thank you guys for being so open& honest ❤

[@skyekeating349]

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 when I was 16, about 9 years ago. My psychiatrist, who I still go to, said something I still think about. He said that medication would be key to helping me. Yet while medication would get me to the finish line it couldn't make me cross it. He said I would need to cross it own, to do so I would need to find techniques that work for me to get me across the finish line every day, every hour, every second, constantly across that line. That finding those techniques was just as important as finding the correct medication. He said that's why it can be very important to see both a psychiatrist and a therapist.

[@dormant5023]

I couldn't agree more. I was diagnosed at 16 last summer after being hospitalized twice. I felt so alone, and the meds they finally settled on (Lamictal and Lithium) terrified me. Then in one episode Jordan mentioned that he was taking Lamictal and I felt so so so much less alone and scared. I don't know a lot of bipolar content creators, so it was really comforting to see someone I look up to be so open about it.

[@breauseph]

I'm a trans guy and I wasn't diagnosed with autism until right before I turned 37 a few months ago. The "you're doing it for attention" is so real - I didn't transition until I was 34 so that was most of my life (and god help, my birth family also said I was transitioning for attention 🙄). Women, nothing but solidarity. It sucks.

[@frogsbongs]

Being trans and trying to get diagnosed with anything else sucks, they always try to bring it back to "well you're just like that because you're trans" OR they completely ignore the fact you're trans and misgender you (at least that's my experience 😅)

[@breauseph]

@@frogsbongs Seriously, there's a gender clinic in my area that's part of a hospital system, and I found out that doctors in that hospital system had just started referring all trans patients to the gender clinic for all problems. Like "I'm a podiatrist but I can't see you because you're trans, you need to go to the gender clinic." 💀 I genuinely didn't think doctors could be so dense that they don't bother to learn that a gender clinic only handles gender-affirming care.

[@jules34678]

hi. i'm an 18 year old trans guy n a big fan of u guys. i know you guys may not see this but i really relate to emma. i've always known i was weird and off and something was wrong. i started therapy at 13 and was diagnosed with ARFID, anxiety and severe social anxiety. sure my anxiety was bad, but it was due to the physical sensations of being overwhelmed and being overstimulated. people would straight up tell me to act normal (including my own family) all the time. i was put on meds, specifically SSRI and SNRI's and i've switched meds 6 times. all of them make me act quite literally like an insane person. i go through mania, depression, and what i like to call a processing stage over and over and over for years. my psychiatrist would tell me im not "manic enough" and my fast talking? getting no sleep, risky behavior, self sabotage, going back to an abusive partner, and drug abuse for during these episodes was normal teen "mood swings" and that my meds would take longer to kick in right. i've been told it straight up was my period, that i was just a teen , or i was just a woman. i was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago after i had a very large "shut down" episode and slept for a week straight and couldn't go to school. i straight up am having symptoms of severe bipolar disorder and somehow it always lead back to people telling me im not "trying hard enough" to get better. (i grew up in a home where i was told how to feel, so i was a very quiet kid, who didn't do anything unless someone told me. when i talked about my sadness it would be instantly shut down by my mom, her not wanting to accept i could feel something she didn't. i was constantly told my own brain was lying to me) DONT DO THIS TO UR KIDS!!! they will grow up never knowing what's truly wrong and hating themselves for not being able to act "normal" like everyone else. anyways this is happening all over again in college and when u are either sleeping none or sleeping 16+ hours on end your academics start to slide! i am switching meds again , and maybe going to wean off them. i know what im feeling is not right and i never have felt right. hopefully i find out what's up with my brain. im starting next at a college close to home so i can take care of myself properly. (my college sucks.) i'm TOO self aware, and it makes me feel hopeless at times when medical professionals don't listen and hand me a random pill. it's like they spin a wheel with me at this point and don't know what's wrong . they were messing with chemical levels in a CHILD's brain. american psychologists need to get their shit together anyways. hold out hope yall. hang in there 🙏😭

[@rpodrichards]

hey dude! popping in to say that as a 25 year old trans… somebody or other i guess? i relate to this. i had an incredibly similar experience being medicated in college - i’ve settled into a cocktail that seems to keep things relatively stable though in my adult life and i’m working with a therapist who understands me really well! keep your support system as strong as you can, i fully believe we got this 🫡

whoaaa emma’s story about her therapist and her autism diagnosis really rang true to me. i’m sixteen and was diagnosed a few months ago - not as late as some people, but still later than ideal. i also dropped out of high school for autism-related reasons. when i was maybe twelve i started thinking i might be autistic and, when presented with the idea, my therapist at the time said something very similar to what emma’s therapist said. it’s honestly really saddening because if i’d been diagnosed at age twelve i can guarantee i’d still be in school and thriving with my cutsie little iep

Literally I thought I had adult ADHD, talked to a psychiatrist about it, was put on Concerta, and said to them a couple of time "I find the lower dose to be more helpful, I can't focus on a higher dose." Turns out I'm actually bipolar, and the meds were making me hypomanic. Over the course of a year, I ruined all the friendships I had made, including a 4 year relationship, based off a "diagnosis" where she had just asked me a few questions. They didn't even consider bipolar. It's wild.

Or is at least the key symptom of the core problem with disability stuff

[@ElleTheCat]

The discussions of mental health are so helpful to hear. I’m 18 and got diagnosed with autism ( not officially, my therapist and psychiatrist are pretty confident I have it but it’s too expensive to pursue an official diagnosis) and a chronic illness a few months ago. Before that I was diagnosed with ADHD which is accurate, but I also went through a lot of different diagnoses like bpd and panic disorder. It was nice when I finally got an explanation for what was “different” about me that feels accurate, and it’s comforting to hear that other neurodivergent people experience so many of the same things that I’ve always felt alone in. My first therapist a few years ago actually only came to the conclusion that I have adhd after I told her about how I related so much to a discussion of RSD on this podcast.

This was a SURREAL listen. Literally 90% of what Emma talked about dealing with is something I've personally experienced (of course I'm not famous, and I've made different choices, so some of her problems aren't shared). Especially the "I'm terrified of the look people will give me when i do something crazy," that look is something that I've experienced multiple times throughout my life and it's close to traumatized me every time. Autism makes it hard to feel like you have a space you can exist in, and trying to dig out a space where you aren't naturally welcome only ends up hurting.

having both bipolar depression and autism, listening to jordan and emma talk about their experiences was incredibly similar. feels good to know im not the only person that’s struggled with these things. and looking back on your life in retrospect after having a diagnosis late in life is definitely a surreal feeling. there’s a large part of me that wishes they never happened, but there is the other part that knows if they never happened, i would never have been diagnosed.

I have ADHD, and so does my mom and my sibling. My mom didn't finish high school because she just couldn't get through it, and she didn't know why until she realized she has a literal attention disorder and she STILL sometimes calls herself stupid for not finishing school. But when I was going through school and would forget to do assignments or entirely just Not Do them even when I did remember, my mom would get upset with me. I had no idea that I had ADHD, and I felt guilty for not doing things right, and my mom KNEW I probably had it and still blamed me for those mistakes. I was overall a good student who got along with all my teachers and actually got good grades despite my attention issues, so the times where I did fuck up sucked so much. I'm still not actually diagnosed, and because my performance in school was good my current doctor (who's mostly a good dude) didn't seem to take my description of my ADHD seriously even tho I fit a lot of the criteria. I mean, yeah I don't have a lot of the hyperactivity but I sure have a lot of attention issues and I would loooove to get some meds for that.

[@salvadorp9141]

‘When you’re crazy you have to be transparent about it’ hit SO HARD. That was my entire strategy from ages like, 16 to now, (only recently got a diagnosis for BPD but I’ve been struggling with it since I was a teenager).

[@Zectifin]

rejection sensitive dysphoria made so much sense for me when I started hearing about it as a symptom of ADHD. I would so overreact to tiny "rejections" that when you look at later didn't mean anything. I remember I was at a birthday party as a kid and gave a friend an action figure as a present. When he was opening presents and he got to mine he opened it and said "oh I already have this one" and moved on. Of course he meant nothing of it, but for some reason it hurt so bad and I remember sobbing as a kid and the parents had to calm me down. Immediately the next day I felt so ashamed of it, but in the moment it hurt for no reason. I love that the internet has become this place where people can share their experiences and others can realize they are not alone and lots of others have these same issues.

The wanting to be successful as an independent creative and recognising that Creating Content(TM) on the internet is an unfortunately big part of that but being afraid of large scale attention is so fucking real like i need money so bad but the thought of strangers wanting to actually pay attention to me makes me like no thank you

[@Amy-yh8kf]

Loved the video!

[@xriadna]

as someone who grew up in reno, yeah, emma spoke nothing but facts

[@mattwarrenAV]

Killing it with the guests lately

[@FemboybunnyGW]

Yooo, a crossover i never knew i needed

[@elena_eleen]

1:18:57 jarvis and jordan bursting out into hysterical laughter gives me an insane serotonin boost every time ngl

[@kir-is-here]

23:59 “it’s like getting the surgery before you know that you’re ill” well fun fact (super not fun fact) surgery is the only way you can confirm an endometriosis diagnosis!!! they can be ~pretty sure~ that you have it and treat the symptoms, but in order to get a definitive diagnosis they need to operate and literally find it in your body :)))))) i know that it’s a minimally invasive surgery but still it’s so frustrating

[@MollysFilms]

OBSESSED I LOVE EMMA SO MUCH!!

[@katieveggie11]

I wish you all the best on finding your father Jarvis, that is huge news!

[@hebedite4865]

i hate how relatable emma's diagnosis story is because myself and so many potentially thousands of others have the same story about late diagnosis, our health care systems are a huge monumental failure and it's a miracle that anyone survives the struggle. I have literally the same diagnoses exactly, Autism, ADHD, and CPTSD and when my psych sent me places that offer autism assessments they were all for children and cost $1000+ out of pocket for adults, so needless to say i'm only "soft" diagnosed. .... And people online genuinely think autistic people online are all faking it to get like.... internet clout or something? like.... yeah dude autism is so good for your social status, just look how much i ~~TOTALLY~~ wasn't bullied by kids and adults as a child !

[@mariya_tortilla]

Im 32 and i just got diagnosed with aut/adhd/cPTSD lately and oh my god everything makes sense lmaooo. I totally get you Emma! ive never felt so seen when she said she had to basically throw herself onto the floor to have someone listen.

[@appleciderwitch]

I'm 41 and I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until I was 38, after 2 years of COVID and man, having Jarvis talk about RSD is just SO nice because it's so hard to explain to people - RSD and emotional dysregulation is why I've been labelled "crazy" most of my life and it's hard to wrap your brain around it unless you experience it but having zero language or context for what is happening to you does a number on your brain over the years. (Also a woman) It's hard putting together that most of your personality is just shaped by this disability that everyone secretly hates you for but don't say why because even they don't know.

[@emerycorner]

loved jordan being moved to tears by breakdance dad😂

[@ViloniousTV]

Thank you Emma for making me sound cool and smart

[@whataboutthis10]

I always found her lovely and down to earth, still do

[@AlexSheMakes]

I got diagnosed with adhd at 28 and it was such a relief but also such a dissapointment. Like who would i be if i wasnt as high functioning and got an early diagnosis?

[@coleanagnost]

[@historyking9984]

You all should watch the dads responses

[@trillian7590]

Evangelion reference in the first minute? The Eva fans have been blessed today 🙌

[@waltascher]

In case you didn’t cover it in Sadboys Nights, he also made a 30 minute response to her response where he eventually goes on an anti-woke tirade and says people should homeschool their kids so they don’t get indoctrinated.

[@user-ou5pm6gn9j]

Will you guys respond to the new evidence he came out with? Kinda weird do trash on a guy and not let him show his truth.

[@AsteryaWindrunner]

Jarvis’s shirt is so sick I’m jealous !

[@casrrole]

“I didnt abandon my family! I just divorced my wife, moved a mile away and never visited my kids again!” so… abandonment?

[@gsuandre5579]

He got remove from the house by court, so his wife took house and 2 million dollar, js that abandon?? He married 2 year after and ex wife married 4 years after. What does he suppose to do???

[@casrrole]

@@gsuandre5579 idk visit his kids maybe

[@everythingwastaken]

​@@casrrole you're really looking at this in a vacuum, but I completely get where you're coming from. When you put it like "divorced my wife, moved a mile away and never visited my kids again", that sounds awful. But there's more information the has surfaced, the dad showed a lot of moments of him with his kids where they looked comfortable being around each other. He also brings up the point that when he remarried, the kids didn't want to acclimate to the step mother, instead siding with their biological mother as a form of protest. That is a valid thing that happens in divorce. He also claims that he would make the effort to "hang out", but he states teenage girls more likely want to hang out with their friends rather than with their dad. I am not saying he's in the right, but I do think it's important to recognize that this relationship between a father and daughter (that spans decades) carries more complexity and nuance than just "divorced my wife, moved a mile away and never visited my kids again." This is coming from someone who legitimately can't stand crypto bros and frankly finds this old dude a little bit weird.

[@casrrole]

@@everythingwastaken yapyapyap if he wasn’t so obsessed with his own ego maybe he would remember when his kid’s birthday is. Or ask her to grab a bite instead of “doing a collab”. She did a silly video abt his breakdancing and he went on a 30 minute alpha male rant abt how women are all libs who want to own men, why you would stoop so low as to defend this man is beyond me. He is trash and so is everyone who supports him.

[@uutumn]

as someone from vegas who is going to reno for college, i wholeheartedly agree

[@WeloveMineCraft100]

OH ALL THE BESTIES YES what a delish meal this podcast episode is
