Almost Neurotypical is a podcast about neurodiversity, human behaviour, and the absurd things we accept as normal.
Hosted by philosopher and behaviour specialist Ligia Koijen, each episode dismantles myths, challenges buzzwords, and exposes the strange logic behind everyday conversations about autism, ADHD, intelligence, identity, relationships, and society.
With dry humour, sharp observations, and evidence-based thinking, Almost Neurotypical asks uncomfortable questions, laughs at bad reasoning, and reminds us that human complexity deserves more than internet labels and five-second self-diagnoses.
If you've ever heard someone say, "We're all a little autistic," this podcast is for you.
Not to offend.
To think.
Not to diagnose.
To understand.
Almost Neurotypical.
Because normal was always a strange idea.
