Actively Autistic

Hey everyone, welcome to season 2 of Actively Autistic. For the beginning part of this part of the series, we are going to touch on some very serious topics. Admin S will not be part of this section, but they will return after these episodes are over with. That being said, for this section, I have a substitute co-host, my friend Todd from Thoughts of the Modern Viking podcast. If you cannot listen to these episodes, it is totally understandable! Take care of yourself and your mental health <3

Today Todd and I touch on the topic of PTSD, what it looks like, and how it can be treated. Here are the links that we referred to in the podcast:

Hey everyone Admin G here. Today, I talk about a video game that I absolutely love/adore. It's a beautiful game with wonderful graphics, a fantastic storyline, and great narration. This game is one of my favorite games to play and it also reminds me that gratitude is a wonderful thing and that not everyone, until after something happens, realizes it and it's an easy thing to truly forget about. I talk a little bit about my experiences playing the game and what it's done for me.

The First Tree is available on Steam and now on Nintendo Switch.

Today I touch on an extremely difficult topic. This topic is very close to me, and as you will hear, it affects me during this episode. Not only do I touch on death, but I also talk about resources and how to cope with death when it comes too close to home. I didn't have many resources to give out, but I will provide a couple of numbers to call/text.

Hey everyone, Admin G here! Today's episode was originally supposed to be a regular episode, however, since the beginning of season 2 is here now, it's now a bonus episode for the week. This episode talks about how it's nice to have that 6ft distance between you and strangers, as well as having the emptiness of the stores when you go in.

As this season comes to a close, I thought I'd put all of the bloopers together from mishaps of our previous episodes. As you are all aware, I quit editing because it became too much to do and it was difficult since the audio-editor Admin S and I used would kill my computer so I just started calling it good.

We hope you enjoy these laughs! We hope you have a wonderful existence and we love you!

Admin G here, just touching up on some thoughts for July 4th. Stay safe.

Hey my friends, Admin G here! Today I'm releasing the episode earlier than usual. As you all may be aware, July 4th is tomorrow & it can be a really difficult time for those of with PTSD and/or anxiety. In this episode, I talk about how to help cope with this upcoming holiday even though a lot of the resources talk about "your child" I feel like these are important for everyone! Happy July 4th everyone, please be safe!
