From the first confusing group call to the cold reality of system-driven separation, this is a story about dignity, identity, and the growing gap between people and the processes that shape their lives.Tune in for a raw, honest look at what it means to be seen and dismissed by a system that doesn’t know your name.Support the showHumans in the Loop is independently produced by a team of neurodivergent creators and collaborators.
