A quick Celebration Note:  Today we are celebrating 10 episodes of our podcast and so thankful to all you who have been leaving 5 star ratings and reviews and especially for sharing us with your friends.

Jason Muxworthy wasn’t identified as Autistic until he was 47.  He is such a delight to talk to and one of the funniest people I know.  You will get a few laughs with us in this episode.  Today, he is sharing his autism journey, insights into masking at age 8, distractions that derail concentration, seeing the positive gifts in autism and identifying PTSD as a late identified autistic.

****NOTE****

The PTSD discussion is at the end of the episode so if this is something that may be too difficult for you to hear right now we understand.  Jason describes how a flashback feels to him and his insights into realizing that PTSD isn’t just for soldiers. He also shares his favorite grounding technique and how to do it.

Meet Brooke and Wade, they are Soulmates on the Spectrum.  If you are in any autism community online, then you have seen at least one post about the Netflix Series, Love on the Spectrum.  It has been a hot topic of conversation this summer.  We are all interested in romantic relationships, but especially those of us who are neurodiverse.  We are always trying to better understand and learn about relationships.  Brooke and Wade share their journey as late identified, adult autistics and their journey as a neurodiverse couple.  We discuss putting words to our struggles, what happens when you both have a meltdown at the same time, and reclaiming your voice.  You don’t want to miss one second of this conversation.  You might even want to take some notes, seriously, they are amazing.

Today is a segment from a video my friend, Rebekah J. Samuel and I made in June for a YouTube Series we do called The Chatty Auties about cyber bullying.  As autistics, we have all experienced bullying but in this time of quarantine where so many more people are online and stress and tensions are high we have experienced more cyber bullying and been witness to a good deal of it happening within our own autism communities.  We are discussing what happens in your brain when you experience a social hurt and why you feel so awful, how triggers and language assignments affect how we and others feel, two ways to heal from a social hurt from cyber bullying and how to respond.

***** Adult topic and mild language, alcohol abuse, violence and suicide are discussed*****

Today’s interview is on a serious and very important topic, Substance Abuse in Adult Autistics. My guest today is an adult autistic and has been clean and sober for almost a year.  Jordan Camp is opening up and sharing his journey with us today.  This is a topic we don’t talk about very much in our community and one I feel impacts so many of us.  If you have ever struggled with drugs and alcohol or are struggling with it now, take a listen today and know that you are not alone and there is another side and another way to live your best life.  We want you to know we understand.  The latest research shows that we as autistics are twice as likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.  Jordan is also a guest contributor to the Social Autie Blog and is sharing his tips and suggestions for not only ways to start recovery but also some things to know to identify use and abuse.

Resources for today’s Podcast:

Hotlines-https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ This service also offers text chat vs. a phone call option.  Be sure to identify yourself as an adult autistic.  The counselors are trained to help us specifically as autistics because as you know we communicate differently and our stress shows in different ways.

Alcoholics Anonymous-https://www.aa.org/

Drug and Alcohol Recovery Groups Resource Guide-https://startyourrecovery.org/treatment/support-groups

Celebrate Recovery-https://www.celebraterecovery.com/ This is a Christian based resource.

***When seeking a treatment recovery program it is essential that you tell that you are autistic and seek a treatment program that supports your treatment with your neurodiverse brain in mind with programs tailored to you.  Many programs are now aware that as autistics we have special recovery needs and have programs in place so be sure to ask and to tell.****
