  • Episode 64: I Don't "Look" Autistic

    This week I talk about my meltdowns, the stress of the holiday season, and how important it is to self-regulate, I’m hoping it gives others—both neurodivergent people and their allies—something useful to take away. For me, the biggest lessons are understanding what meltdowns really are, knowing my triggers, and learning to advocate for myself in different situations. Hopefully this resonates!

  • Episode 63: Does High Support Needs Always Mean Better Support?

    Hello beautiful humans, this week social media has been rife with contention on this subject. This isn't a dogpile, and no one has been named but lets discuss..

    Does high support needs always mean better support?

    What are some of the barriers for support for those that are lower support needs?

    Do we have to be "autistic enough" to even speak about this?

    Let me know what you think of this episode, please rate review and share!
