AuDHD Diagnosis Overlooked Amid Negative Gay Stereotypes & Stigma

CW: Addiction & Bullying


Bestselling author and broadcaster Matt Cain opens up about
discovering autism and ADHD at 50 after decades of feeling
"othered" as a gay man.


In this chat with Ben, Matt unpacks how his autism and ADHD were
long blurred with queer expression, explains how ADHD fuels his
creative work but also complicates his relationship with alcohol,
and emphasises why "coming out" as proudly neurodivergent- just
as he has as a gay man- is so vital.
