It's a two-parter! This week, we're taking the first half of the Autism Quotient test together — and, in true Daily Tism fashion, absolutely ripping it to shreds. Unlike a certain autism researcher, we're asking all the right questions: What does it even mean to 'slightly disagree'? Did a single autistic person consult on this thing? And what kind of degenerate has a birthday picnic?

This week, we're talking all about our worst fears. Expect country musicians, planes carried on the backs of angels, (bog) mummy issues, the prospect of going to Whitby, being bitten by Leslie Nielsen, and treacherous, treacherous mayonnaise.

Today, we're taking on all the social norms, cultural conventions and strange human rituals that we just can't quite crack. In this week's episode, Sara has a funerary Femininomenon, Sarah offers a scathing critique of the wedding industry, and Elsa educates her colleagues on the realities of childbirth. A very merry Special Day to all who celebrate!

From crying at the Colosseum to moonlighting as a cheese-slinging chatbot, it's a wonder we all went undiagnosed for so long. In this week's episode, recorded during one of our Patreon members-only live events, we talk about all the reasons we should have been identified sooner. And if you're looking for something to drink while you listen, might we recommend a strawberry milkshake lovingly handmade (read: mashed) by a small child?

The Daily Tism writers are back for another overshare-a-thon! In our latest bid to get ourselves cancelled, we're talking about our (deeply concerning) childhood special interests. Whether you spent your younger years dreaming of fame and fortune on the beauty pageant circuit, pondering deadly snake bites, or waiting for the Spice Girls to come and pick you up, you're in good company.

CONTENT WARNING:

07:40 - 08:20 - Discussion of suicide and suicide methods

A note from Sarah: At the beginning of the episode, I describe periods of mutism as "non-verbal". To our non-speaking listeners, that was a genuine mistake on my part, and I'm sorry.
