Gemma Collins “Fixes” ADHD? Autistic Voices React to the SEND Education Crisis

In this episode of Unfiltered and Overloaded, Kroy and Jayz dive into the chaos, frustration, and emotional weight of the UK education system for autistic and ADHD people. From sensory overload on holiday and going non-verbal at the airport, to traumatic school memories, exam halls, SEND support, EHCP battles, and the Department for Education’s controversial Gemma Collins campaign, this conversation gets honest, angry, funny, and deeply personal. We ask the real questions: Why are neurodivergent children and families still having to fight for basic support? Why are schools still unsafe for so many autistic and ADHD pupils? And why are lived experiences still being ignored? This is a passionate episode about being failed by the system, surviving it anyway, and demanding better for the next generation.

I Wasn’t Supposed to Survive This: A Therapist’s Raw Truth

A therapist tells the truth most professionals are trained to hide. In this raw and unfiltered mental health story, I open up not just as a therapist, but as a human being — a gay man, autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, a trauma survivor, a grieving son, and a recovering self-harmer. This video goes into the messy reality of self-harm recovery, grief after losing a parent, male sexual assault, trauma, suicidal thoughts, neurodivergence, shame, survival, and healing. Not the polished version. Not the inspirational quote version. The real version. The ugly, painful, human version. Healing is not always beautiful. Sometimes healing is crying on the bathroom floor. Sometimes it is relapsing and choosing to try again. Sometimes it is saying the thing out loud that you thought would destroy you. This is for anyone hiding scars, carrying grief, surviving trauma, feeling broken, or wondering whether staying alive is enough. It is. Your pain matters. Your story matters. You matter. Topics covered: mental health, therapist story, trauma recovery, self-harm recovery, grief, losing my mum, male rape survivor, sexual assault survivor, suicidal thoughts, LGBTQ mental health, autistic therapist, ADHD, dyslexia, neurodivergent mental health, healing trauma, surviving shame, raw mental health talk.
