The Pancake King: Life and Marriage On the Spectrum

The podcast returns with Season 3 for Fall 2023! In this season, I will be sharing more of my history, how parts of the culture have influenced my views, and how much exactly autism plays a part in my own identity. Identity is the major theme of this season and I hope this season will help other spectrumites feel less alone in the world. I know a thing or two about loneliness, in the past, and the present.

Hi, it's Forrest. I've got some personal reflections to rant about for a little bit. Some things to get off my chest. My goal isn't to discourage anyone though, and I'm not discouraged myself. Hope this episode helps you and leaves a good lasting impression as this season wraps and you wait impatiently for the next season (which will be BIG). See you all again in August!
