A proposito di questo titolo

In words of social commentator, philosopher and glam rockstar Noddy Holder "IIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttts CHRISSSSSSSTMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Welcome to Episode 16 of the Business Oddcast! This week is a big seasonal bumper edition and we’re diving headfirst into the sensory overload, social pressure, and chaotic brilliance that is Christmas when you’re neurodivergent. From overwhelm disguised as “festive spirit” to food droughts, coat-goblin strategies, and the annual terror of Secret Santa, we’re breaking down the 12 traits that make this season feel… a lot. Stuart shares his elite spreadsheet engineering (including kitchen re-wiring for roast logistics), tactical party-napping, and why he’s entering his “Christmas turtle” era. Hannah confesses her hard limits around catch-ups, communal peanuts, and being manhandled onto a dancefloor by Anne from Accounts (justice for Hannah). Together, we explore routines dissolving into chaos, pressure to “see everyone,” gifting spirals, and why boundaries matter more than ever in December. Expect honesty, hilarity, and a whole sleigh-load of neurodiverse coping strategies. If the holidays leave your brain crying in a corner wearing noise-cancelling headphones, this one’s for you.
