I have schizophrenia and my boyfriend has bipolar... I have taken care of him in his bad periods and he has taken care of me. He has struggled with addiction which he has overcome now. We are evolving together.... It's so great to hear your stories... thank you for your bravery and thanks for sharing 😊

Allison is adorable. Such a lovely soul, she radiates sweetness and kindness.

Allison is gorgeous. Her facial structure is so model like.

I love that the two of you have decided to have a outlet to advocate for both of you individually and as a couple navigating life. I am a woman with ptsd and bipoler (i have psychosis as part of bipolar) and my partner, he has autism, psychotic depression and anxiety. So this podcast will be very close to home for us for thanks for putting this out there. I'm particularly looking forward to you discussing being care givers for each other as we feel that's something within our relationship people on the outside don't understand so thanks Kody and Alison for being the voice of others. Ps kinda off topic bit the two of you are so cute togeather. You can see the love between you through the screen and that really has made this depressed woman's day. Thanks to you both for the smile ❤

Possible topic: I would love to hear how you both navigate traveling/flying with different disorders. Another one: I want to hear how Allison navigates sensory issues or masking as an adult.

This podcast sounds like such a fantastic idea. I’ve just began my autism assessment. I’m a 24 year old woman living in Ireland. Hearing Allyson’s story and other neurodivergent perspectives makes this whole experience less intimidating. I’m new to your channel, can’t wait to see more 🤎

I am nuerodivergent. I am autistic and have schizo affective disorder. Glad I found you 2

My bf was just diagnosed with schizophrenia this summer and it has been so hard. He thinks I’m on the spectrum but as an adult, as Allison says, it’s so hard to get testing done. Your channel has been such a comfort to me during this time and I’m excited to hear Allison talk about caring for you while being on the spectrum. And vice versa! My bf and I will follow along on your journey:) thank you for being an advocate!!!

I’m proud of you guys for stepping up and advocating for, and helping normalize mental health issues. And as someone who deals with it myself daily, and helped my son through his struggles, I thank you. ❤️

i've been trying to get an adhd assessment for over 2 years now, its extremely frustrating because it feels like im putting my life on hold while i wait. looking forward to seing more from this podcast~

Love this so much! ❤❤❤ I've said it before but I'm a mental health professional & I recommend your videos often! To patients & their families. Thank you!

I'm really looking forward to this podcast! And I can really relate to the resentment of not getting support/being seen sooner. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I think this is great that you guys are doing this, I haven’t been in touch with anybody with your mental health issues and this helps me to to understand what you guys have been through and educates people like me thanks for doing this

I’m “self-diagnosed” Autistic as of last year (I’m almost 40), and I related so much to what what talked about. The point about self-isolating because masking wasn’t an option was spot on! Love your support for each other! Also, the Dani Squish 😄

I adore both of you!! 🥰 I'm looking forward to your podcast!!! 🎉

It’s so nice to see your wife and the interaction. Looking forward to the podcast.

I look forward to hearing more podcasts from both of you!

I literally love Allison 🥹 She’s the most adorable n sweet person! She seems like an incredibly fun person n super witty!!!! Not to mention she’s stayed around through addiction and before being diagnosed…. WOW that’s an incredibly loyal and caring person that Koda should never let go of 😂😂 ok I’m done simping on Allison

Yay, I'm so glad you are doing this video ❤

I'm looking forward very much to your talks. Wish you all the best.❤

So happy you both are spreading awareness about mental health. I have Autism and adhd. Diagnosed late in life too, so totally relatable on that! I was just wondering what the stuffies name was, I thought it was going to be said at the end but it wasnt!😅

You guys seem awesome! love your vibe! well done for doing this

OMG, just like me! My aspie a*s spilling my coffee, tea, whatever I'm holding! It's so embarrassing on those rare occasions when I'm out in public, spilling coffee and bumping into things! 🤣 I'm also childlike in many ways, and I'm almost sixty. I heavily mask and try to act like those around me. Sometimes I fail miserably!😅 😂

You're a trooper, Aly. 🤘 Thank you for telling your story.

Lovely video; thank you guys so much

Stop, why is she so adorable!?

i was originally diagnosed as BPD and Manic Depressive ...but recently I just found out its ASD. I'm 47.

In my experience as well, the differences between me and my peers widened the older I got. Everyone grew up so fast and I stayed the same. It’s more obvious now than ever before that I’m different.

This is going to be amazing!!

Lol might because I also is a autistic/add person but I could see in a coulee of seconds that Allyson has it as well 😌 (got mine in 2017)! After getting help with strategies for my diagnoses my meltdown has rapidly decreasing to like 2 in a year. Its truly a game changer with diagnoses!

Hi, Thanks for this great video. I am one old aspie female with schizofrenia as well. So I am not the only one!!!

Great idea!

I discovered my autism during the pandemic, it really shook things up

I liked watching and listening to this 😊💕

So I have schizoaffective disorder. There's times I also think I'm on the autism spectrum. Do you guys notice any similarities/overlaps?

So I am a paramedic working on a 911 ambulance. I also have a bachelors in psych and working on my masters in therapy. Right now I’m putting together a continuing education class for the first responders and Emergency department staff on patients with mental health. Especially patients we are called for a mental health emergency. A big part of my class now includes trying to help ems personnel have an understanding of what things may be like or feel like from the side of the person with the mental health emergency, hopefully helping people gain more empathy and understanding. If you could offer a piece of advice for EMS when in that situation that you feel could make the biggest difference what would it be?

Allison is so cute and funny! I'm 31 and I've had friends and S/Os say I'm autistic and have adha. I feel like I am cause I can get overwhelmed easily, I get side tracked so easy where I don't even realize 3 hours has passed. I don't how to bring it up to my doctor.

Excellent video

8:26 i think it’s unfortunate that having traits like being bright and bubbly, or being into certain things as a 29 year old isn’t normalized. the fact that you felt forced to mask just shows how unwelcoming society can be towards different behaviors and personalities. it’s unfortunate, very brave for both of you to step up and talk about your experiences.

My daughter has high-functioning autism and ADHD!! Did you have any delayed development? Talk late? Walk late, etc? My daughter wasn’t diagnosed till 17. She also has depression and severe anxiety. My younger daughter has BPD II. Didn’t know autism has a genetic component. My husband has ADHD. His sister has an Autistic daughter, non-verbal. Does anyone else in your family have Autism?

I love that she’s a Bigfoot squish queen!

Sorry but when he said Hi, my name is Kody and I have schizophrenia, i burst out laughing 😂 it was so jolly and cute.

I feel like your wife should do voice acting

❤

Are those T-Shirts for sale?🤐

Kody, I'd like to create some cool fictional characters with mental disabilities, because sadly the most famous and most relatable characters are still villains and present our disorders in a very negative light. I don't know how to do that in a respectful and authentic way, however. I'm hoping watching your videos will help. I myself am diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, and I don't have hallucinations, just religion-based delusions and extreme mood problems. I was also diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at some point.

You keep talkin I’ll be back 🥹💕

Is your hallucinations name allison too

How old is your wife?
