The WIERDOE: Autism, ADHD, and the Power of the Soft Watcher

What if the “weird girl” wasn’t broken—just brilliantly attuned? In this episode, we introduce a new term: WIERDOE—a late-diagnosed autistic woman, often with ADHD, who survived through masking, mirroring, and hyper-empathy. Part deer. Part oracle. All pattern-recognizer.
We explore how fawning was never passivity—it was precision. How high-masking women tracked tone, escaped danger, and held entire emotional systems together—often without being seen. And how unmasking doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it’s a quiet step out of camouflage and into clarity.
Join us for a conversation about sensory intelligence, relational fatigue, and the sacred reclaiming of the soft, strange, knowing ones.
This is for the ones who startled too easily—until they remembered they were reading the weather.
