14. How to Tell If You're Neurospicy (and Have a Side of CP)
Episode 14: "Are You Neurospicy or Just Built Different?"
Ever wondered if you’re part of the Certified Neurospicy™ Club? Or maybe life with CP feels like an extreme sport? In this episode, Leo and Marcus are running the most unscientific, completely ridiculous self-assessment to see if you, too, are part of the WTF is my brain/body doing squad.
We’re breaking down the ADHD, ASD & CP Starter Pack, testing if you pass the Sensory Overload Olympics, and exposing peak awkward social moments that prove life is just one big struggle. Leo forgets how conversations work, Marcus' CP limbs have a mind of their own, and together, they create the most chaotic, wog-infused neurodivergent quiz of all time.
So, if you’ve ever hyperfocused so hard you forgot to eat, if wet socks send you into a meltdown, or if your brain is basically a dodgy internet connection, this episode is for you.

13. The Wogs With Special Needs Olympics - The Games No One Trained For
Episode 13: "The Wogs with Special Needs Olympics – The Games No One Trained For"
Forget the Paralympics—welcome to the Wogs with Special Needs Olympics! 🏆 In this episode, Leo and Marcus take on the ultimate challenge: surviving everyday disability struggles like they’re elite-level sports.
Who will take home gold in The Getting Ready Speedrun (aka wrestling with clothes while running late)? Can Marcus survive The Shopping Centre Slalom without getting stuck behind an aisle hog? And will Leo finally conquer Public Transport Chaos without a sensory meltdown? Spoiler: Probably not.
With events like Sensory Dodgeball and the Greatest Accessibility Fails, this episode is pure chaotic energy—full of laughs, ridiculous challenges, and the most unprepared athletes of all time.
Strap in, grab a snack (or a participation trophy 🏅), and tune in for peak wog humour, relatable struggles, and absolutely no athletic ability.

12. Disability UNO - Pick a Disability!
You know how in UNO, you think you're winning, then BAM! Someone drops a +4 and ruins your life? Yeah, that’s basically what it’s like living with a disability. In this episode, Leo and Marcus play a brutal game of Would You Rather? – disability edition. From sketchy wheelchairs with no brakes to being trapped in an elevator vs. explaining your disability to clueless strangers, we’re making the tough choices so you don’t have to.
Get ready for chaotic debates, questionable decision-making, and a whole lot of wog humor as we figure out whether we’d rather deal with bad support workers, sensory overload, or being called "inspirational" for doing basic human tasks.
If you love a bit of banter, disability real talk, and high-stakes nonsense, this one’s for you. Buckle up (especially if your wheelchair has no brakes), and let’s play Disability UNO! 🎙♿🔥

Welcome back to Wogs with Special Needs, where today, Leo and Marcus are taking a wild ride through the ups, downs, and occasional loop-de-loops of mental health! 🎢 From navigating burnout to using humor as a life jacket, we’re getting real about how we keep our brains from exploding while managing ADHD, CP, and a million other acronyms. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of pizza, questionable life choices, and a fair amount of laughing at ourselves. 🍕😜

7. Breaking the Stereotypes of Autism and Cerebral Palsy
In this episode, we’re putting those tired old disability stereotypes to bed—for good. From the assumption that all people with disabilities are the same, to the idea that we must be “miserable,” we’re calling out the BS and setting the record straight.
Join us, Leo and Marcus, as we break down the misconceptions with a mix of humour, personal stories, and some no-nonsense truth-telling. We’ll share the funniest (and most frustrating) stereotypes we’ve faced and explain why living with disabilities is way more diverse—and way more fun—than people think. Whether it’s Marcus enjoying his “free ride” wheelchair perks or Leo dodging the “genius autistic” label, we’ve got stories that’ll make you laugh, think, and maybe even rethink how you see disability.
So, if you’re ready for a wild ride through the truth about disabilities (and a few laughs along the way), hit play. It’s time to smash some stereotypes.
