This week on LATE BLOOMERS, Rich has had enough of autism misconceptions, so Rich and Rox are going through the top ten myths one by one and busting them wide open. Rich didn't know what was coming. That's kind of the point.

From "autistic people can't feel empathy" to "sensory issues are just being difficult" to the big one — is autism being overdiagnosed — this episode covers a lot of ground. Rich talks about what it actually feels like to have emotions on the inside that nobody can see on the outside, why flip flops are genuinely the enemy, and why the label "high functioning" needs to go in the bin.

If you've ever had to explain your autism to someone who thinks they already know what it looks like, this one's for you. And remember if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person...

This week on LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox are sharing the ADHD hacks that actually work — not the "just set an alarm" nonsense, the real ones. Ten tried and tested strategies pulled straight from their actual life together.

From setting timers in seconds instead of minutes, to the lesser of two evils trick, body doubling, and why buying a nice water bottle is genuinely a productivity hack — this one is packed. Rox also admits she still doesn't notice when Rich is using the hacks on her. Which honestly says it all.

If your brain makes every task feel like a mountain, this episode is for you.

Rich and Rox are back in the Reddit hole.Rich and Rox are back in the Reddit hole. This week it's 20 ways ADHD brains chase dopamine, and Rox sits through every single one like a woman being personally investigated.

You've just been diagnosed with ADHD or autism — now what? In this episode, Rich and Rox walk through the 10 emotional stages of life after a late diagnosis: the surreal moment everything starts to make sense, the relief-and-grief whiplash, the identity crisis (what's me vs. what's neurodivergent?), and the painful truth that a diagnosis doesn't fix you — and can even make things worse before it gets better.

The episode lands where their work always does: how to move from "what's wrong with me?" to self-understanding, and rebuild a life that works with your brain.

It's neurotype warfare, mop in hand. Rox (ADHD) and Rich (autism) go ten rounds on how they actually clean — from anxiety-fuelled 20-minute panic tidies to methodical "do not make a mess" warnings issued two days in advance. Expect dog wipes used on kitchen counters, sitting on the floor reading old birthday cards instead of cleaning, and at least one threat of being attacked with your own laundry.

Producer Max judges. Vibes decide. It ends, inevitably, in rock paper scissors.

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rox opens up about her perimenopause journey — from her very first symptoms at to recently starting HRT. She talks honestly about the brain fog that felt like being underwater, the exhaustion nothing could fix, and the moment she was convinced her life was over.

They unpack why perimenopause hits ADHD women harder, why nobody warned us this was coming, and the year Rox left her HRT unopened in the cupboard out of fear. Plus the male doctor who tried to talk her out of taking it.

Then comes the turnaround. Eight weeks into HRT, Rox describes getting her life back — her sleep, her energy, her confidence, her creativity. If you've been feeling weird in your body and wondering what's wrong with you, this one is for you.
