Autistic Culture Podcast Network

Part of our 12-Week Writing Series for autistic creatives and late-diagnosed adults.

In this episode of Neurodivergent Narratives, Dr. Angela Kingdon sits down with fellow author, poet, and performer Tim Clare to explore what it means to find your creative calling—and why you don’t have to travel far to tell a story worth sharing.

As part of our Neurodivergent Narratives Writing Series, this episode dives into a prompt inspired by the writing technique known as local colour. Your surroundings are full of story. Your perception is the lens. Your noticing is the art.

We also announce the winners of our Week 8 writing prompt contest!

🎧 What You’ll Learn

• Why “local color” is a powerful tool for autistic writers who see depth others miss
• How special interests like board games can lead to unexpected creative breakthroughs
• What makes writing a memoir different from writing about the world outside your door
• The ways sensory observation shapes autistic storytelling
• Why voice reclamation starts with noticing what matters to you
• How Tim Clare’s newest book—and his Autism diagnosis—came from the same creative impulse
• Why your story is already here, waiting to be written

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.

Part of our 12-Week Writing Series for autistic creatives and late-diagnosed adults.

In this episode of Neurodivergent Narratives, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores how writing can gently support recovery from Autistic Burnout—a deeply misunderstood experience of emotional, sensory, and cognitive depletion caused by prolonged masking and social misattunement.

As part of our Neurodivergent Narratives Writing Series, this episode invites listeners to use storytelling, journaling, or creative fiction as a way to reconnect with self and rebuild energy without pressure or perfectionism.

We also announce the winners of our Week 2 writing prompt contest!

🎧 What You’ll Learn

• What Autistic Burnout actually is (and what it isn’t)
• How writing can serve as a gentle form of stimming, self-regulation, and re-connection
• Creative strategies for writing when you feel like you can’t write at all
• Why SPINs (special interests) are a core part of autistic resilience and joy
• Why “love letters” to SPINs reveal deeper truths about autistic identity
• How this weekly writing series is designed to build confidence, not critique

In this episode of The Autistic Culture 101, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 1 of Autistic Culture: Bottom-Up Processing.

We begin our deep dive into the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture with the cognitive foundation that shapes how many autistic people interpret, analyse, and interact with the world—from sensory input to social understanding.

This remastered episode reintroduces the core principles of bottom-up thinking through the lens of one of fiction’s most iconic detail-driven characters: Sherlock Holmes.

🎧 What You’ll Learn

• Why autistic cognition favours detail-first processing over top-down assumptions
• How bottom-up processing supports pattern recognition, innovation, and autonomy
• The role of sensory integration and special interests in cognitive and emotional navigation
• How society pathologizes bottom-up thinkers as insubordinate, difficult, or even “broken”
• How internalized ableism can lead autistic people to distrust their own cognitive strengths
• Why reclaiming and celebrating bottom-up processing can improve mental health and self-trust

Part of our 12-Week Writing Series for autistic creatives and late-diagnosed adults.

In this episode of Neurodivergent Narratives, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores the disorienting experience of social confusion in autistic life—and how writing through that confusion can become a radical act of clarity, healing, and voice reclamation.

As part of our Neurodivergent Narratives writing series, this episode dives into how stimming, grief, and misunderstood interactions often translate into literary gold. For autistic writers, confusion isn’t just a state—it’s a signal that something needs to be named, explored, or rewritten.

We also announce the winners of our Week 1 writing prompt contest—the launch of our 12-week series!

🎧 What You’ll Learn

• How social confusion impacts autistic people—and why it’s not a deficit
• The meaning of “The Double Empathy Problem” and why autistic communication breaks down across neurotypes
• Why writing through confusion helps reframe internalized shame as cultural mismatch
• How stimming, sensory overload, and narrative tangents are key tools for identity integration
• The emotional fallout of late-diagnosis grief and the healing power of storytelling
• How fiction becomes a form of sensory sorting, emotional stimming, and social decoding

In this episode of Autistic Culture 101, Dr. Angela Kingdon kicks off a brand-new chapter by reintroducing the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture—the foundation for how we understand and celebrate the richness of autistic identity. This remastered episode revisits the original conversation that first defined the 10 pillars back in January 2024, now with updated insights and refined language to match how this framework has evolved.

Whether you’re just discovering the show or have been with us since the beginning, this is your starting point for the cultural model that grounds everything we do.

🎧 What You’ll Learn

• Why autistic traits aren’t symptoms—they’re cultural signposts
• How the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture offer a strengths-based model for identity
• What’s changed since the original episode first aired
• Why we’re remastering one pillar each week for the next 10 episodes
• How to use the pillars to better understand yourself, your community, and autistic history
• How each pillar maps to the domains of arts, lifestyle, and justice

💡 The 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture (Updated for 2024)

1. Bottom-Up Processing (formerly “Logic & Strategy”) - Detail-first cognition. Pattern before conclusion. Think: Sherlock Holmes, chess masters, system builders.
2. Rhythmic Communicating (formerly “Linguistics & Accents”) - Scripting, echolalia, tangents, infodumping. Communication as rhythm, poetry, and flow.
3. Norm Challenging (formerly “Deep Thinking & Insight”) - Authenticity over politeness. Insight over illusion. Questioning over compliance.
4. World Building - Narrative universes built from imagination and logic. Think: Pokémon, Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars.
5. Pattern Matching (formerly “Data Gathering & Analysis”) - SPINs, trivia, research, and structured inquiry. We find meaning in what others miss.
6. Game Changing (formerly “Innovative Ideas”) - System redesigners. Trendsetters. Rethinkers. From Eadweard Muybridge to Questlove.
7. Boldly Creating (formerly “Artistic Expression”) - Art as regulation. Performance as communication. Stim as aesthetic.
8. Predictably Comforting (formerly “Consistency & Reliability”) - Rituals, repetition, routines. These aren’t constraints—they’re comfort, safety, and power.
9. Justice Seeking (formerly “Justice & Honesty”) - Fairness as instinct. Truth as obligation. Emotional intensity as ethical compass.
10. Passionate Superfanning (formerly “Fictional Friends”) - Lore, fandoms, and parasocial joy. Star Trek. Doctor Who. My Little Pony. Fandom is family.

🧭 The Framework Going Forward

These 10 Pillars will guide the next phase of The Autistic Culture Podcast—each episode will highlight one of them, offering deep dives into their cultural meaning, emotional resonance, and pop culture representation.

The pillars span across three domains:

• 🎭 Arts & Entertainment
• 🪴 Lifestyle & Leisure
• 🏛️ Society, Values & Knowledge

And at the centre of them all: Autistic joy, identity, and truth.

So whether you’re autistic, exploring the possibility, or someone who loves and respects autistic people—you are welcome here. You are part of Autistica.

In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon is joined by Jude Mills—autistic theologian, interfaith minister, and host of Fkd Up by Faith—for a deep exploration into how cults and extremist religious movements intersect with autistic culture. This isn’t just a trauma story. It’s a culture story.

Together, we unpack how autistic traits like emotional honesty, deep focus, and commitment to logic can draw us into high-demand religious systems—and what it takes to get out.

🎧 What You’ll Learn

• Why autistic people are often drawn into cults—and why we might stay longer than others
• How the very traits that make us vulnerable are also reflected in many cult leaders
• What happens when your SPIN (Special Interest) used to be Jesus, prophecy, or Revelation
• How to mourn or reframe a spiritual system that once gave your life meaning
• Why autistic people may face unique challenges—and strengths—on the journey out
• How leaving isn’t failure. It’s freedom. And it’s a return to self-trust.
