Ranting about the Neurodivergent Tax: the EXTRA costs of living
Buckle up benevolent audience and listen to us get a little hot under the collar in this episode. This time we've talking about the "Neurodivergent Tax" and how it affects us and makes us more than a bit cranky at times. This is one of those times.
The Neurodivergent Tax is, to be very brief, the extra cost involved in simply existing as a member of society when you are neurodivergent. Things such as paying for medication and therapy are obvious things, but what about buying obsolete things because you forgot you already had the same thing at home? Or having to pay late fees for things that you rented or borrowed that completely went out of your mind?Jacinta and Lachlan also discuss the ways they personally handle dealing with this tax.Enjoy!Resources mentioned:The National Debt HelplinePh: 1800 007 007
