It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield

What's the difference between a hyperfixation and a special interest? When is a symptom anxiety and when is it ADHD or autism? Why are so many women still struggling to get diagnosed with autism and ADHD? How do our hormones affect symptoms? Could Abbie be AuDHD? Abbie sits down with neurodivergent clinical psychologist, and host of The Neurodivergent Woman podcast, Dr Monique Mitchelson to answer all these questions and more.

The trial of Lindsay Clancy has made headlines around the world and has sparked countless debates and conversations, some more productive than others. Abbie unpacks some of the extreme manosphere reactions, why we still have a long way to go when it comes to talking about mental illness, and why some hot takes actually have nothing to do with the case.

Abbie found a new op shop book about gender roles!!! This one is called Why Men Don't Listen And Women Can't Read Maps, and of course features complete fabrications about 'caveman times', among many other hilarious takes that attempt to turn sexism into science. Plus a nice, long tangent about cheating and surveillance culture!

It's a NMF situation we've all had to endure; listening to a co-worker's insane opinions because you're stuck on shift together at a minimum wage job. But some of these conspiracy theories even WE haven't heard of!! Abbie didn't take a dexie today so this NMF comes with extra rants!
