Autism, Neurodiversity, and Men’s Mental Health w/ Jeremy Davis

When Jeremy Davis was taking an online autism test while researching for a screenplay, he was not expecting his own life to unfold before his eyes. “I thought I was writing a character,” Davis recalls, “but what I was really doing was writing myself.” That moment marks the beginning of his journey into self-discovery and self-advocacy. He was misdiagnosed for years, overlooked by the medical system, and dismissed in the workplace. Davis is now transforming his lived experience into a powerful platform for education and change.

A filmmaker turned disability advocate, Davis is navigating both autism and ADHD after a late autism diagnosis at 40. “Autism is a spectrum,” he explains. “My presentation is green, red, and blue. Someone else’s could be yellow, orange, and purple. They’re not more or less autistic than I am.” His story is not just one of struggle, but of reclaiming identity and dignity in the face of misunderstanding and ableism.

Through his disability representation consulting and advocacy efforts online, Davis is helping to break the stigma. He is helping others recognize their own experiences and call for systemic change. His voice is reaching thousands across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. He combines storytelling with science to reshape how autism and ADHD are understood.
