Autism Stories

"As a kid, I faced many struggles due to being different, including the fact that I didn't learn to read as a kid until I was nine years old, and I had trouble making friends and had to deal with feeling isolated. When people try to discourage me from going into physics, saying it was hard and it would involve a lot of struggles, actually only helped push me further in the direction of physics. Struggle was what I had always known, so why not struggle with something that seemed worthwhile?" says Manuel Diaz. Manuel joins this episode of Autism Stories to discuss his passion for physics and  spanish language resources that benefit the autistic community.

""I did some time at university, and everything was really structured and regimented- you have to write it this way, you need to have an outline, you need to have a thesis, you need to have your three main points, and it all needs to flow together...and I'm like, "What? I'm really, really struggling." But I think with poetry, it didn't call for any of those things. It called for me to get out of my own way, my heart to open up, to let my heart do the talking and, more importantly, the writing," says Amanda Harrinauth. Amanda joins this episode to discuss why poetry is so important to her and how being legally blind has intersected with her autism.

"When we're overwhelmed, people try to talk, and have us walking and looking and lots of other things that we're trying to attend to, and that's too overwhelming, too much. It closes us down, cause they're not working with our learning style. They're not working with the way our brains are actually attuned. Monotropism is a theory unlike any other because it totally explains autism in every facet," says Dr. Wenn Lawson. Wenn oins this episode to discuss why understanding monotropism explains autism, upcoming research that will benefit the autistic community, and speaking with the United Nations about ageing and autism.

"Modeling is significant because I'm that representation I didn't really get growing up. I'm autistic, I'm queer, I'm curvy, and there weren't a lot of people like me that I got to see modeling.....being able to model and being able to express myself and just feel pretty and feel like I'm making an impact means the world to me," says Kaye Baugher. Kaye joins this episode of Autism Stories to discuss how the modeling industry can benefit the autistic community.
