Adulting While Neurodivergent: Burnout, Guilt & Free Time

Adulting While Neurodivergent: Burnout, Guilt & Free Time

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott return after an unexpected break to talk honestly about something many neurodivergent adults know all too well: what happens when life leaves you with nothing left in the tank.


From 72-hour work weeks and launching new projects to forgetting to record the podcast altogether, they reflect on the mounting pressure of adulthood, the fear of burnout, and the guilt that can come with taking time for yourself. Simon opens up about juggling the demands of the Autistic Culture Podcast Network while struggling to switch off, while Jordan shares how gaming, photography, and embracing his inner child have helped him navigate periods of stress and boreout.


A funny, vulnerable, and deeply relatable episode about burnout, adulthood, and remembering that sometimes the most important thing you can do is give yourself permission to simply be.
