Episode 13: Summer Hiatus Announcement
Due to a medical issue reoccurring I am starting my summer hiatus early. If you have requests for topics for next season please send me a message through Facebook or Twitter with things you would like to know more about autism, or if you’re autistic if there’s something you would like others to better understand about you.
Be kind to yourself and I’ll see you all again in the fall.
Episode 12: Autism and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
In this mini-episode Jeanne (she/her) talks about rejection sensitive dysphoria and how the way we view and treat autistic behaviors in childhood can have lifelong impacts on their sense of self-worth and relationships to others.
Episode 10 : Joint Hypermobility and Autistic Healthcare
In this mini episode Jeanne (she/her) talks about a common comorbidity to autism — joint issues, including EDS, looking at new research showing the overlap in these communities and talking about what that should mean for how we talk about autistic healthcare. She also discusses barriers to accessing effective care, including looking at research regarding training for healthcare professionals in autism and how inaccessibility can impact autistic diagnoses and care. She connects this to the current conflict in Ukraine and how inaccessibility is impacting autistics and those with mobility issues in Kyiv, along with a call for all of us to examine what ways we could improve accessibility in our spaces. Finally, author Chuck Tingle is added to our list of famous autistics folks should know about.
Episode 9: No Episode This Month, I'm Getting a Root Canal
No episode this month, I'm getting a root canal for an infected tooth and everything feels gross and painful. Be back next month! If you are autistic and have tips or tricks for dental work to share with us let me know!
