Reframing “No Filter” as a Feature Not a Flaw (A fresh look at Blunt)

What if being blunt isn’t something to fix — but something to reclaim and reframe? In Episode 10 of NeuroSpice & Life reframing the label “blunt", late-diagnosed neurodivergent hosts Freya Corboy and Hanna Hosking shift from reflection into reframing, exploring how neurodivergent people can advocate for their communication style without shame, over-apologising, or self-silencing. This episode balances practical tools, mindset shifts, and plenty of humour, offering a lighter, empowering follow-up to our reflections on bluntness, honesty, and masking. Freya and Hanna discuss the many modern forms of communication now available — from text and voice notes to gifs and videos — and how neurodivergent people can intentionally choose methods that support clarity, tone, and nervous-system safety. The conversation explores why the phrase “honesty is the best policy” often works for neurotypical people who have the social rulebook, but can backfire for autistic and ADHD people who are labelled “brutally honest” or “too direct” for simply communicating clearly. Hanna and Freya unpack how neurodivergent communication styles are often framed as inferior, when they’re simply different — and why it’s okay not to use majority communication norms. This episode also challenges the belief that we’re responsible for managing other people’s emotions or interpretations. You can communicate clearly, respectfully, and honestly — and still not be responsible for how someone chooses to feel about it. Practical tools are shared for giving feedback, reducing unnecessary softening, and removing reflexive apologies like “just” or apologising for things that aren’t your fault. Together, Freya and Hanna explore what it looks like to reclaim bluntness after years of masking, people-pleasing, and over-explaining.
