In the podcast "Femme on the Spectrum," Liz discusses politics from a neurodivergent perspective, focusing on the upcoming 2024 election face-off between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The podcast touches on how neurodivergent individuals like those with autism and ADHD, process politics differently, often with a focus on detailed analysis of policy rather than emotional appeals and personality. Liz also discusses the sensory overload of campaign ads and debates which can feel intensely overwhelming for those on the autism spectrum. Highlighting the unique decision-making process of neurodivergent voters based on logic, data, and meticulous pros and cons list, the episode emphasizes the untapped potential of neurodivergent voters and the need for politicians to communicate with clarity and logic to win their votes. Liz also provides tips for neurodivergent individuals to navigate the sensory chaos of an election season, underscoring the importance of quiet spaces, regular breaks, and a relentless focus on the numbers and specifics of policies.
