  • 9. The Art of Unmasking (and does it hurt Neurodiversity if we mask?)
    Neurodivergent adults need more support and one of the areas especially is unmasking, which I see as a major form of self-care. Watch and listen to learn more about what masking is, how to unmask, and most of all, how masking hurts the neurodiversity movement. #actuallyunmasking #actuallyautistic

  • 7. Ableism Goes Both Ways
    EVERYONE needs to hear this episode and NO ONE IS SAFE! On this episode we talk about ableism, neurodiversity and what it really means, autism, autistic adults and how we embrace each other, functioning labels, support levels and I even sprinkle in a little bit about autism moms (don't forget, I am one!)... This episode gets a little SPICY, but as always, it's just me being real...

  • 3. Myths and Stigma about Autism
    In Episode 3 I share the traits that resonated with me when I questioned if I could be autistic. These are the lesser-known (atypical) traits of autism that you don't hear about very often and they helped me accept myself and seek a diagnosis. **Autism is a S P E C T R U M and everyone presents differently typically present differently.**
