In this episode of 'Leta's Tap Styles', Leta and Amanda delve into their personal experiences with autism, focusing on how it defines their identity. They discuss how well-meaning people will often ignore that someone is autistic, using the phrase “I don’t see autism.” They discuss the misconceptions surrounding acceptance (especially when it comes to claiming acceptance is ignoring autism and the limitations autistic people face), the importance of true acknowledgment, and the necessity of accommodations. Highlighting their dance studio experiences, they recount the challenges of masking, the misunderstandings by teachers, and the emotional toll of hyper fixation. The episode features a lively and insightful conversation, interspersed with humor and honest reflections on navigating the world as neurodivergent individuals. Additionally, they share exciting updates about upcoming guest appearances and call for more awareness and genuine acceptance within the autism community.
