2025-02-12 18:41:21 +0000 UTCI wish more psychologists understood the neurology of autism and how it impacts autistics when it comes to the subject of trauma. We process trauma differently than other people, we find different things to be traumatizing than neurotypicals. Our sensitivities can make being in bright or loud places traumatizing. Until recently we were not accommodated whatsoever. So if you're a little autistic kid you are in a world that is over stimulating, you are not given any sort of leeway to escape it. Depending on the context you live in even being home is not safe. Autistics often feel rejected by parents because neurotypicals do not bond with us the same way they do to each other. It is called "the double empathy problem". Elon's experience with his dad is not unusual for autistic people. Our psrents do not understand us, they are embarrassed of us, they try to force us to change to suit themselves. I did not have that experience as an autistic person, but it is at a root of a lot of the trauma autistic people live with. I have read reddit post after reddit post on the autism subreddit about this topic. I am constantly responding to young autistic kids that are not listened to by their parents, who are in despair.

2025-02-01 03:57:07 +0000 UTCI loved this episode. I have a lot of trauma due to my own father being abusive, so I have a empathy for Elon and what he went through with his family. I loved hearing Berto's breakthroughs, thank you for sharing your vulnerability!

2024-11-19 16:40:00 +0000 UTCWhat a sweet episode 💜 I always appreciate the vulnerability you guys are willing to share. So lovely to see. I also found the discussion about lying very interesting. I had someone in my life who lied about a lot of things and it was absolutely crazy making. I feel a lot of confusion around my experiences with this person so it's interesting to think about what might cause someone to have these lying problems.

2024-10-23 13:15:41 +0000 UTCI understand giving Elon the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Brazil, but he literally applies different rules for different countries. A great example is how he censors content critical of the Indian government at their request. The reason likely has to do with the larger user base in India compared to a country like Brazil. And yes, he bans accounts that most people would agree should be banned. However, he also bans accounts of journalists doing bipartisan reporting on him. I'm not saying this makes him an evil person—many people might do the same if they had his power—but it’s important to note that he's not purely a champion of free speech; he definitely has caveats that lean in certain directions

2024-10-16 12:57:22 +0000 UTCNot to start rumors, but considering Elon’s obsession with having as many white babies as possible, and the fact that they did date at one point and seemed amicable, and he seems open to hooking up with his exes… Amber Heard did have a baby in 2021, and she has never revealed who the father is. 👀👀 It’s not a slam dunk or anything, just something to ponder.

2024-10-16 12:47:52 +0000 UTCAbout the empathy thing at the end i just wanna say i couldnt experience empathy towards the pain of people i thought were evil before finding this podcast :3 you guys modeled to me how to be able to feel empathy towards someone and still be allowed to judge them for their horrible actions thanks internet dads :)
