In this episode of Autistic Culture 101, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 2 of Autistic Culture: Rhythmic Communicating — a core expression of how autistic people connect with the world and each other. This isn’t “just how we talk.” It’s how we create culture.

This special remastered episode dives into echolalia, scripting, infodumping, and the poetic, patterned flow that defines autistic communication. Through the lens of pop icon Taylor Swift, we uncover how rhythm, repetition, and lyrical structure mirror autistic expression.
