Brianne Leeson originally joined me on the FamilyPreneur podcast in 2022 and because the content was so relevant to Just Marketing I am re-releasing it for you today. Also, April is Autism Awareness Month, so another great reason to revisit this topic!

In this episode, I introduce Brianne Leeson and we’ll have a conversation around Autistic communication and the way that Autistic brains work. Your marketing is reaching an audience that includes Autistic people, so learning more about what Autism is and isn’t and how to better accommodate Autistic people, can help us market more inclusively.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What autism is and isn’t.
• Common assumptions and practices they may have that make life harder for autistic people.
• Autistic communication, and how to better communicate and accommodate for autistic people in their lives

Brianne is a writer, artist, and voice actor from Dallas, Texas. She’s the writer of the queer, supernatural comedy audio drama, Today’s Lucky Winner. After she was diagnosed as autistic and ADHD at 30, she became fascinated with evaluating the ableism she had experienced daily, before she knew it was ableism. Combining her passion for social justice, linguistics degree, and experience as a sensitivity editor for fiction writers, she’s become a passionate advocate for helping people better understand the beauty and nuances of autistic brains.

Jillian Abby joins Meg Brunson to discuss inclusive messaging.

Language is always changing and evolving. Many things that were "okay" to say when we were young are now problematic, and there are likely things we're saying now that should be updated.

So, how can we be sure that we're being respectful and avoiding stereotypes with our messaging - and what happens when we make a mistake?

I said "when" because we're all bound to mess up at some point - let's prepare in advance!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• The business value of inclusive marketing, even if the people we make the extra effort to include only make up a minuscule amount of our client base.
• Easy changes to make in our writing to be more inclusive and areas of our business where we can do an inclusivity check.
• How to successfully recover from a marketing misstep.
