I have autism and adhd and its messed up my whole life to put it extremely mildly. It is a horrible way to live in so many aspects.
So when people say things like "my adhd" or "i really want it my way, thats how i know i have autism"
It infuriates me to the point im punching walls and throw furnite in my apartment.
What people like that mean by saying that is: im quirky and fun, not like the others, LOOK AT ME, SEEEEE MEEEEEE
Ive been locked in the psych ward more than 30 times and its horrible, its nothing good at all, its not superpower – stop saying you have things if its not diagnosed at least

1:08:08 We have some HYPOTHESES.
A hypothesis is a well informed "guess".
Far too many people, even well educated people, misuse the word, "theory".
A theory is not a guess. A THEORY is what a HYPOTHESIS "graduates" to, once it has been proven to, most likely, be true.
This colloquial use of the word, theory, has actually done a lot of harm when it comes to the average person's understanding, or misunderstanding, of certain things to do with scientific principals, etc.
It results in many people being of the mind that certain, very well established and understood, fields of study are "just a theory". They think a theory is just a guess.
That is not the case.
Love your show, by the way.
But felt I needed to point this out.

2:00:00 I find this funny cause as someone with multiple mental disorders I've always lived with the understanding that theres a lot in my brain I cant control
I'm actually kinda shocked people are only now realizing this
then again, it's probably easy for me to say, when I start shaking my leg or pulling my hair I don't have conscious control over my body, I'm aware of what I'm doing but I'm also not at the same time… same for when I'm using the stove, I know what I'm doing but I can't stop myself from shaking or the unbridled fear I feel
I've lived in a world of minimal control over my own brain and body, kinda nice to hear that scientifically thats actually how it works and I'm not just someone with no self control or some other excuse people use

Really disappointed in you. There's no such thing as a trendy mental illness. We have our first trillionaire whilst most people can't afford the necessities to live whilst working 40 hours a week. Mental illness is also better understood, leading to more people being diagnosed who would usually be dismissed. For someone who is clearly intelligent that was a very ignorant, uninformed thing to say
