Divergent Jessie
Hi, Jessie here—and no, still not Bob. Divergent Jessie is a podcast where I talk about being a neurodivergent teen, from day-to-day struggles to random thoughts that pop into my head. Nothing is edited, nothing is re-recorded—every episode is one take, exactly as it happens. So yeah… it’s real, a bit chaotic, and completely honest. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.
masking (and why is it so exhausting)
In this episode, I talk about masking—what it is, how it works, and why it can be so exhausting.
From copying other people to trying to fit in, this is something a lot of people don’t see.
This episode is completely unedited and recorded in one take—just real thoughts, as they happen.
making friends (and finding your people)
In this episode, I talk about making friends as a neurodivergent teen and why it can feel so confusing sometimes.
I also talk about how neurodivergent people seem to find each other—and why that makes such a difference.

what it's like day to day (autism)
In this episode, I talk about what being autistic actually feels like day-to-day.
From sensory overload and overthinking to masking and getting overwhelmed by small things, this is the side people don’t always see.
This episode is completely unedited and recorded in one take—just real thoughts, as they happen.
my autism diagnosis (and doubt ing myself)
In this first episode, I talk about my experience getting diagnosed and the doubts I had before it.
From questioning whether I was “making it up” to being discouraged from getting a diagnosis, this is how it actually felt.
