Chloe's got her autism assessment in a few days, so it's time to revise!

Kieran's found an adult autism quiz, and we're going to have a practice assessment; play along at home to see how you square up against our scores, and stay tuned for updates next week!

You can follow the show on Instagram @theautisticexperience, and we'd always appreciate a nice rating and review on whatever podcast platform you're listening on!

This week on The Autistic Experience, the dishwasher saga continues, there's some very pressing questions for Michael Sheen, Chloe wants to go live on a farm, and Kieran pitches an autism-based video game.

We're back after a week off, and a new dishwasher has caused an existential crisis!

We like to say we're good problem solvers under pressure, but how does that present itself in real-world situations? And what does getting a dishwasher have to do with being autistic?

Find out now!

This week, Chloe proclaims herself a croissant hero, and Kieran has a theory about Paddington's dark past (spoiler alert: the title of the episode). They also discuss sensory-friendly clothing and why it's probably not going to be a mainstream thing anytime soon, and one person's efforts to put more pigs into your pocket.

Events this week include autism-friendly crazy golf, hiking near a cheese plain, and a very interactive version of Twelfth Night.

How bad can an arts centre's Youtube video really be? What's the worst thing to bring to a job interview? And how can you work on collecting coins?

Kieran and Chloe completely ignore the sensible things to answer these questions, and quite a bit more!

Also, what the hell is suppo?

It's a surprisingly focused episode this week, as Kieran and Chloe try to record the show without waking up the baby guinea pigs!

There's some new opportunities for ND and disabled folk to get into museum curating, Toronto's getting an ND thrift store for a few weeks, and there's some lovely lovely ADHD statistics!

Events this coming week include a concert with the stellar Derek Paravicini, sensory-friendly tank exhibitions, and some fresh air in Brighton.

We've got a new sofa! And also some other stuff about charity walks, wearable treatments for ADHD, and businesses being a real buzzkill when you tell them you're autistic.

Events this week include Unmasked: Neurodivergence and Comedy, and an autism-friendly performance of Robin Hood in Coalisland (however that's pronounced).

New episodes go live every Sunday at 12pm UK time!

You know what they say: new year, new pigs! And that's especially true this week, as Chloe and Kieran testify with some eagerly-anticipated new arrivals.

Otherwise, we look at something nice finally coming out of Aut-stralia, chronic loneliness of autistic folk, and almost instantly prove a point about how lack of attention completely steamrollers good intentions.

Here's something Kieran's wanted to do for a while now; a podcast film commentary. Not great if you're sat on a train, but if you need some alone time but want some virtual company to watch a film with, here you are!

Since it's December 25th, we thought we'd go with Muppet Christmas Carol: The Full Length Edition.

How this works: pull up Disney+, find the full-length version of MCC on your computer, phone or TV (in the regular MCC's 'Extras' tab), start the podcast episode, and hit play on Disney+ at the same time as us. Voila, commentary!

If you like this, go follow us on Instagram @theautisticexperience and let us know!

Film begins at exactly 4 minutes, if you're in a hurry for Muppet content.

In a slightly shorter episode this week, Chloe and Kieran take a look at what causes thought loops and Chloe's fear of a zombie apocalypse, and discover a new autism-centric show opening on Broadway!

Events this week include candle making, ADHD: The Experience, and an autism-friendly Santa cruise!
