This episode originally aired on March 11th 2025, but with her new hit show “Too Much” in the spotlight, and #1 on Netflix, it’s more relevant than ever. We're currently on hiatus, but we wanted to bring this one back into the feed for anyone watching the show!Here’s what’s in store for this episode: * Why Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and POTS often co-occur with autism—and how Lena Dunham’s chronic illness journey mirrors autistic burnout.* How Girls functions as an autistic TV show, created by a mind that doesn’t follow neurotypical storytelling norms—and why that resonates with so many of us.* Lena’s character in Girls exhibits traits like rejection-sensitive dysphoria, clothing sensitivities, difficulty with transitions, and social cue misfires—classic markers of autism.* We explore Dunham’s memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, and how neurotypical audiences misunderstood it, highlighting the risks autistic creatives face when being raw and unfiltered.* The canonical autism of Girls character Shoshanna, and how autistic-coded characters naturally cluster in neurodivergent-created spaces.* How Lena Dunham’s autistic traits were pathologised, her career sidelined, and how a lack of control in creative environments can lead to health crises for neurodivergent people.* We also discuss her marriage to Jack Antonoff, and his neurodivergent-coded songwriting for bands like Fun. and Bleachers, as well as his ties to Taylor Swift, who’s also widely considered neurodivergent-coded.
