In today's very short 23-minute episode hosted by Susannah, I talk candidly with my reoccurring guest, George aka Spike Greene:

• about how we find nostalgia, sameness, fun, and flavour in our favourite branded potatoes, with a focus on chips/fries

• George tells us all about his new favourite fries places in Melbourne, whilst I suggest my favourite places in Sydney

• we talk a lot about sensory-friendly issues that come up with eating that are specific to the nature of being autistic (not triggering though as we don't go into complex issues such as ED's)

Disclaimer: My voice is still a bit soft. However, due to some reasons, it is softer than usual. Hopefully, next time, it will be back to normal.

P. S. Also, my voice is a bit softer than usual in this episode as I might be a bit sick. But, hopefully, in my next episode, I will be well and have a clearer, louder voice.

P. S. This episode is technically three weeks and two days since S4E5, but fortunately is I am now podcasting once a fortnight. Usually, my episodes are not a week and a half late as this episode was published on the 11th of March on Monday, but I assure you the next one will be published on the 23rd of March.

Also, my voice is a bit softer than usual in this episode as I might be a bit sick. But, hopefully, in my next episode, I will be well and have a clearer, louder voice.

As well, some audio may not be clear, as other people were talking in the background as I recorded the episode. Fortunately, Barbara, a recurring guest from my podcast, hopped on and was the informal interpreter as Nana is fluent in Slovenian, and I needed the extra help.

In today's hour and 11-minute part-two episode hosted by myself, Susannah and guest-starring George, we dive deep down into many topics, including but not limited to

• growing up in Australia - for instance, we talk a lot about The Simpson's and George gives a really helpful tip on how to make the episodes wide screen but not squished screen

• Mental health and autism- for example, we talk about our autism-specific anxieties and / or fears without going into too much detail

• Social media - an example I talk about is how the college I'm intending to study at doesn't have a lot of advertising and marketing to promote their institution

• Study ambitions - how George and I are planning to study for our respective courses, and a big part of that is managing our time + doing the politically correct paperwork needed before enrolment

P. S. S. Some audio may not be clear, as an echoing effect might be heard. However, the majority of the episode shouldn't be impacted. Also, my rule of not naming names has been amended because I gave the names of two education providers for context, and without specific examples, it would be hard to talk about studying.

Venture in our wonderful wonderland....Listen now to find out about the podcast, and as well what season four has in store, and where to find my podcast on social media. Susannah from Always Angelic Aspie Alice 🦋

TW: Anxiety, depression, isolation, being bullied as a result of being bullied at school. Also just general mental health struggles might be in this episode, likely to be relating to anxiety and, or depression.

In today's hour and a half episode hosted by Susannah and guest-starring George, we dive deep down into many topics, including but not limited to

• growing up in Australia - old advertisements on TV that aren't airing today, The Simpson's and if Boy Swallows Universe is a positive representation of Australia

• Mental health and autism- we discuss briefly how being autistic means we're more likely to be bullied at school and ways we're embracing being ourselves (hint: being a part of the ACN and or peer group is helpful)

• Social media - our thoughts that being on social media means we're more likely to be stressed, numbed, and addicted to it because of the nature of social media

• Study ambitions - what we're both studying later in the year, and it might surprise you, and why Susannah isn't planning any time soon to study at a well-known nanny school overseas, but rather study in Australia in a popular institution that offers a specific degree for a provider that is more well known for their trade certificates

P. S. I did put on an explicit warning for this episode here ⚠️ due to the fact that we had to figure out what appropriate swear words were and which weren't. Unfortunately, I can't formally mark this episode as 'explicit'. However, here's an informal notice. Also, some audio may not be clear, as an echoing effect might be heard. However, the majority of the episode shouldn't be impacted.

In my part two of my three-minute quick episode/mental health update/my shortest episode to date, I discuss how I overcome the 'ugly conversation' that I talked about in part one + some surprising strategies that really work for me + might help you too.

And, do you think online/peer communities can become family? Let me know. This question is also in the survey!

See you in S4E3,

P.S. Did you get the Twilight reference?

#S4E2 #AlwaysAngelicAspieAlice #DifferentNotLess #MovingOn #NewMoon #MentalHealthAdvocate #KeepHoldingOn #EnjoyTheJourney

Tw: Anxiety, depression, numb, self doubt, bullying, general negativity, burnout

In this first episode of season four, I dive into why I struggle with self-love, burnout, juggling too much on my plate, hard conversations, judgements, bullying, assumptions, gaslighting, guilt tripping & how I found myself after years of hard work, learning how to be in the present (it is a gift) & why it is okay to make mistakes in my perfectionist mind & all in all how to move on & to live with love, light, beauty, strength, vulnerability, courage & maybe even most of all self-love & the self-advocacy that explodes bright!

Due to burnout, S3E13 is a short solo five-minute only episode & my last ever episode of S3 where I talk about my brand new adventure starting early 2024.

I also talk about why you're never too old to do something new; for example, go to college/uni.

Also, I talk briefly about reasonable adjustments & how I will self advocate for myself to make sure I get the most out of my college experience & hopefully fingers crossed due to my determination & advocacy it will result in me getting my degree at the end.

I hope my advice/reminder that it is okay to have reasonable adjustments should you need them, is helpful to you.
