Autistic People Oversharing

Actor, creator and self-proclaimed gremlin Lizzie Schenk - known to It's a Superpower?? fans as Norah - is, by their own admission, pretty accident-prone. This week, Lizzie challenges us to divulge our biggest boo-boos, our most outlandish ouchies and every pathetic pratfall in between. Let us caution you against flirting via thrilling displays of acrobatics, flinging yourself onto the childrens' zipline with gay abandon, or daring to gaze at a beautiful sunset. And do try to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground; you do not secretly possess the ability to fly.

You can keep up with Lizzie on lizzieschenk.com. You can also hear them as Norah in It’s a Superpower??, our audio sitcom by and for autistic people, available wherever you get podcasts.

We are currently Crowdfunding for Season 2 of It’s a Superpower?? so if you want to help pay Hare & our incredible team for their work & get exclusive show-based rewards, head over to ⁠Crowdfunder⁠ and chuck some coins in the virtual bucket!

Come to our virtual Pet Gala on Sunday 22nd November 6pm UK time for an hour and a half of wall-to-wall cuteness to raise funds for Season 2 of It’s a Superpower?? Hosted by Guy Kelly, Tilly Gibbs and your pets!

Instead of spending all our time talking about Guy Kelly, we decided to finally talk TO him for this episode all about gifts. As often as we complain about Guy as an example of a Man, he surpasses his fellow men in this episode, save for all the body horror and the, er, guillotine chat. Because it turns out that many people (not Guy) are horrible gift-givers, and a great deal of them are men we've had the bad fortune to date. Tune in and discover the perils of exchanging gifts with parents, extraterrestrial kittens as a love language, and a long-running bit that may very well follow you to your grave.

This week, we're talking about rules with comedian Cerys Bradley, fresh off a successful Fringe run for their show On Road Signs. Cerys is a veritable fount of knowledge, with plenty of fascinating insights into everything from road sign design to how to incorporate clown school into your next identity crisis. Speaking of clown school, Cerys also takes the time to explain the COVID-conscious lesbian bar drama to us, which shocks us into having a proper mature discussion for once. Featuring men at work, hippies, tall poppies and airborne women, this episode might genuinely make you smarter - no thanks to the two of us.

CONTENT WARNING: 40:00:00 - 42:00:00: mention of ICE raids and gun violence

Cerys will be taking their show On Road Signs to the Nottingham Comedy Festival on Saturday the 7th of November as part of Wormhole Weekend. Book your tickets at nottinghamcomedyfestival.co.uk. To keep up with Cerys, including future performances, news and all the joyous road sign hyperfixation you could ever need, visit cerysbradley.com, follow them on Instagram @hashtagcerys or find them on Patreon at patreon.com/hashtagcerys.

Welcome back to Autistic People Oversharing! That's right, we've returned, with a slight name change so we can get more of our friends on! We're kicking off with a visit from Daily Tism writer, comedy producer and co-founder of Coherent Comedy Hare Lockwood, who's here to talk to us about past misunderstandings and mistakes that are much funnier in hindsight. Prepare for Weird Al, criminal activity, movie magic, dolphins vs. sharks, Dead Dad Day Dips, bisexual awakenings, Wombles, Wurzels and sheds on fire. 

Hare Lockwood is a weekly writer for The Daily Tism as well as the producer for our hit audio sitcom It’s a Superpower?? and the co-host of Coherent Comedy, a monthly virtual stand-up show full of warmth, silliness and truly groan-worthy puns you can watch from the comfort of your own sofa! 

We are currently Crowdfunding for Season 2 of It’s a Superpower?? so if you want to help pay Hare & our incredible team for their work & get exclusive show-based rewards, head over to Crowdfunder and chuck some coins in the virtual bucket!

We’re coming back for a second season! But to do that, we’re going to need your help. We’re Crowdfunding at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/its-a-superpower-season-two to raise the £30k we need to cover production costs! Check out the many exclusive rewards (including personalised voice memos from the cast, a baking booklet as written by Sophie and a chance to be immortalised in the show itself).

While we might look like a slick, well-funded operation, we are actually a tiny independent team of autistic women funding this work out of our own pockets for the sheer love of it. Your help goes towards easing the financial version on us to pay our team the industry standard they deserve! 

Alternatively, you can help us out and get a bunch of bonus content from the show, The Daily Tism & our podcast Autistic People Oversharing over on Patreon at Patreon.com/TheDailyTism

Thank you so much for your support - it means the world and we can’t wait to bring you more It’s a Superpower??

All your burning questions answered: What is the show about? Who did we have to hypnotise to get these A-listers to do cameos? And how many times DID we make Guy Kelly cry?

We hope you enjoy nerding out with us over this wonderful, silly and heartfelt sitcom we’ve made. You can check out It’s a Superpower?? weekly wherever you get podcasts or listen to the whole thing early and ad-free at selected tiers on our Patreon.

In the season 2 finale of Autistic Women Oversharing, bestselling author, Geek Girl creator and now Bearded Dragon mum (???) Holly Smale joins the Sara/hs to chat about our coping mechanisms, the healthy, the uh… somewhat less healthy and the downright insane. 

Settle into your homemade triple-layer sensory deprivation system, strategically dissociate and grab your troll-eating tigers - it’s time to learn how to be the pilot of your own colour-coded life, no matter how unqualified you might be. 

Enjoy a few Autistic Women Oversharing firsts, including the first episode to be interrupted by a cockroach delivery and the first time Sarah reduces Sara to stunned silence. 

We’ll be back next season with more exciting nonsense. In the meantime, gently put your anxieties to bed and stay away from Fretsylvania. Until autumn - kloveyoubyeeeee (whatever that means).byeeeeeee (whatever that means).

Grab your massive ear defenders, your wrap-around sunnies and your weighted blanket - the hilarious Grace Jarvis is back with some good, and of course, very bad, advice on staying safe from all the most hideous sensory icks.

Join the writers of The Daily Tism as we explain why standup gigs for Autism Parents are a trap, who may and may not hug us and the essential components of a decent hug (squeezing good, back pats bad). 

Also in this episode, why mouth noises should be punishable by death, our handy guide for how to sneeze in different languages and the potential gadgets in Sara’s inevitable bionic teeth. Oh, and our thesis on why car horns should come with helpful tone indicators. Why aren’t we in charge of things? 

Enjoy the episode and we hope you manage to avoid the hazards of your sensory nightmares, as well as sugar-free sweets, motorbikes and door-to-door onion salesmen. Kloveyoubyeeeeee x
