S02E01:Comedy, Creativity & Late Diagnosis: Neurodivergent Moments with Joe Wells & Abigoliah Schamaun

To kick off Season 2, Amber sits down with comedians Joe Wells and Abigoliah Schamaun, co-hosts of the hit podcast Neurodivergent Moments.

With their highly anticipated book Neurodivergent Moments releasing on June 18th 2026, we dive deep into the unfiltered reality of what it actually takes to co-write a book when you have a neurodivergent brain. From managing deadlines with ADHD and autism to handling rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) during the feedback process, Joe and Abigoliah share the raw, funny, and comforting truths behind their creative partnership.

⚠️ A Note Before You Listen: While Amber is an expert by experience of living it, she is not a medical professional or a doctor, and this podcast is not for diagnosis. While we definitely have a laugh on this show, we do dive into some sensitive topics, so please always look after yourself and listen with care. Always reach out to a professional for proper clinical or diagnostic support.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The reality of a "regional" book tour that only goes an hour from their houses.

• The master spreadsheet Joe built that Abigoliah completely ignored.

• Translating physical stand-up comedy routines and timing onto the written page.

• The grueling, exhausting, and hilarious process of recording their own audiobooks.

• Abigoliah’s secondary show, All British Comedy Explained.
