Hey everyone, once again long time no see :P today I was accompanied by two lovely people from the Actively Autistic server Xander and Cherella and we talked a lot about Asperger and Kanner, the two people who gave Autism a name (respectively) and we also spoke about a few other things as well.

Hey everyone! Long time no see, life has been very busy. I hope everyone is doing well. This episode is a bit long, but that's basically because it's kind of making up for missing some episodes. Today I had the pleasure of having Nicole join me on today's episode and we had an absolute blast!

I love you all very much and have a wonderful existence!

Hey everyone, Gabby here! So today's episode I talk a bit about the ADA (American Disability Association) and it's laws as well as Section 504 which is really important to know about, especially if you're in college, have a disability, and feel like you aren't getting the appropriate accommodations that you need to succeed in school.

Hey everyone, Admin G, or as I'll most likely just go by now Gabby, here. Today I talk about the Navajo Code Talkers and what they did for the United States during World War II. If it weren't for them, we would have lost the war and for them I am extremely grateful. 

In this episode, I give a little bit of Native American history and talk about the Code Talkers and ask that you give them a moment of silence on August 14th, the National Navjao Code Talker Day.

Hey everyone, today's episode focuses on the rights we do and don't have as Autistic people. Or rather, how there are things in place but how they're not really being used in society. I mention a lot of different articles, read from a few of them, and provide links to the last two I did not get to. This episode talked about things both in the UN, UK, and the U.S..

Hey everyone! I just wanted to do a small announcement about the Abuse & Manipulation episode and it ended up turning into like a mini-episode so here we are! I hope you're all doing well.

Hey everyone, Admin G here. In today's topic, I talk about abuse and manipulation. I talk about the wheel of power and control and my own experiences with abuse/manipulation. And of course, I talk about resources to help break the cycle of abuse and get help for it. This was another difficult episode, but as the others for this second season, it's an extremely important episode to listen to. 

I hope you have a wonderful existence, and I love you.

Hey everyone, in today's bonus episode I talk about the Disability Resource Services (aka DRS) and how I'm thinking about taking thoughts and ideas to the upper parts of the university to get them more staff to be better employed since as a student it's difficult to use DRS and as a staff member to also get ahold of DRS. I'm also asking for any businesses (locally/privately owned, non-profit, etc.) that you may know of who would be interested in doing business with my office to help us get weighted blankets, stim toys, noise canceling headphones, and anything else that may help during meltdowns. Thank you all for listening!

Have a wonderful existence, I love you all!
