You’ve Got An ND Friend In Me: Sensory Clashes, RSD, And The Joy Of ND Connection

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott dive into the chaotic beauty of neurodivergent friendships. From the heartbreak of sensory overload to the emotional minefield of alexithymia and rejection sensitivity dysphoria, they unpack the complex layers of autistic–autistic relationships, misunderstanding ADHD traits, and the healing power of shared ND experience.

🎤 In this episode, you'll learn about:

Managing sensory hell in shared spaces (yes, that includes loud eaters and perfume)
Autistic love languages
How trauma and mental health shape ND friendships
Miscommunication, meltdowns, and how to repair after a shutdown
The real reason you stopped texting your bestie (and why they probably didn’t hate you)

If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “too sensitive,” this one’s for you.
