Aaron is still recovering from being sick, poorly records this episode from his home studio, and talks about being yourself, his Christian hip-hop phase, and almost signing with Fresh IE, all in response to this article:

https://theaspergian.com/2019/09/27/be-yourself-how-do-you-do-it/

If you're not a Christian and you listen to this podcast, this episode does not intend to be preachy and it's okay to wait for next week's episode to come out if you wish.

Aaron is sick but decided to stay dedicated to releasing another episode packed with his thoughts on the Autism CARES Act renewal, the harms of ABA therapy (without going in an explicit direction), discussion about inward focus, and how to properly advocate without letting personal feelings get in the way.

What is Sustained Autie? Sustained Autie is a website dedicated to the sustainability and financial independence of all autistics. While most autistics look for a job, they’ll loose employment they searched and worked hard to earn quickly due to ableism and lay-offs. The site was created so that any autistic will be able to create a passive income or start an online business as they push towards financial freedom. This site is not intended to discourage auties from working in a traditional environment but it gives them other options to lean on if they cannot secure a proper position in the traditional workforce.
