On this episode Bianca and Dan want to talk about what happens after the diagnosis (this includes self-diagnosis) in terms of how it changes you. Do you behave more Autistic? Are other people saying this? How has it changed you.
The call was made to the Late To The Party private group and we share some of their experiences too, with their permission of course.
We also have a very special Autistic Moment that one of the Party Poopers shared with us. 
The Miya Gouache Paint sets that Dans daughter Eloise speaks about can be found here.

She also shares invaluable tips and resources to help you thrive. And of course, there is always the general chit chat between Bianca and Dan pre and post interview.  Enjoy.

There has been a longer gap between episodes than usual. And that has a lot to do with our subject this episode. Anxiety and Autism regularly share the same headspace and we discuss our own relationships with it.
Be sure to also go on our socials to see our horrendous attempts at making hip videos like Chloe Hayden has for her new podcast.
As usual we have our ever-expanding segments including Neurodivergence Digest, Autistic Moments and our big new hit .... Text Fuckups.

Bianca and Dan are enjoying Easter holidays so please enjoy this mini episode. Bianca figures out Dans predilection for leading questions. They also discover some very strange games they played as kids and share tales of loneliness and imagination. They really should be called Bored games.

I installed an anti-virus on my computer. Now it has Autism. That's right, this episode is all about comedy. Bianca and Dan talk about the kind of humour they love and dispel the rumour that all Autistic people are humourless and do not get a joke. 
The comedy continues with segments like Neurodivergent Digest, Recommendations, Autistic Moments and a Compliment From Dan.

This episode Dan interviews his friend and old workmate Shirl. It is an incredibly moving, candid and funny discussion that so many people will be able to associate with.  Shirl was diagnosed Autistic four years ago, around the same time as Dan, and shows another side to the diagnosis fallout. This was not an easy discussion for Shirl however the bigger priority was to share just how difficult it has been for us later diagnosed people, particularly in childhood and young adulthood. 
 
We cannot thank Shirl enough for agreeing to talk. Shirl will not be listening to the episode so we would love listeners to send messages via us on [email protected]

This episode contains more than your daily prescription of memes. Dan considers releasing an album of segment music given he seems to be writing a new one each week. This time it is a segment called Social Stories.
On this episode we talk about what we hate to wear, and Bianca offers up a description of a particular body part that once heard you will never forget.
We uncover who keeps their inboxes ordered and Dan tries his best to write from a womans perspective.  We consider Prince Harry and his apparent diagnosis offer up another Autistic Moment.  And finally Bianca commissions Dan to write a musical about Dogs and you get the first taste of what is surely to become a major musical triumph.

It is Episode 16. Thank you so much for your continued support. This episode we talk about our likes and dislikes and look for commonalities. Dan is given some news about his vocal stylings and Bianca tells us more about her home life than we probably asked for.
We have a killer Autistic Moment and yet another new segment called Neurodivergent Digest, not to forget our Recommendations. Speaking of you can find Kristy Forbes on Facebook here.
Let it be known that the drumbeats in the podcast are Dan's first public performance on the drums.
For those not in the know the Harold audio relates to the TV show Neighbours.

Here is the excerpt mentioned by Dan -
Carl Sagans - The demon haunted world - 1995

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
