Join Sabrina, Kade, and our guest Olivia Belknap, AMFT, as we discuss autistic medical challenges, medical self-advocacy, and more! Many of us are more sensitive to meds, need support conveying what we mean to providers, struggle with providers who think we’re malingering or exaggerating our experiences, and could use extra tips in navigating complex medical systems. We’re sharing our tips and tricks, as well as validating that it’s not always an “us problem”! Long COVID, autonomic struggles, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and other common health challenges for autistic people are discussed.

On Hit Me Again, our exclusive guest bonus content on Patreon, we’ll be diving even deeper into self-advocacy, especially for folks with medical trauma, and how to navigate getting “fired” by a doctor when you really need care. We’ll pay special attention to folks who are struggling with ovary-related health issues, too: PCOS, PMDD, endometriosis, and more.
