In this episode, David gets honest about what it actually means to live at the intersection of autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, physical disability, and chronic illness — not as a tragedy, not as an abstract political category, but as a real, daily, embodied experience of navigating systems that were built without you in mind.
Drawing on the frameworks he’s developing with Tanya Adkin at NeuroHub Community, David explores three ways of understanding his own life: as tragic, as oppressed, and as an involuntary soldier in a war for equality he never chose to fight; and asks what it would mean to put the weapon down sometimes and just breathe.
This episode is for anyone who is tired of fighting battles that should never have been theirs to fight.
