  • 08. special interests

    hey, you! welcome back to another episode of tism talks. this episode, it was a bit of an excuse to info dump on my behalf, but also an important one for any neurodivergent friends - special interests and why they are so significant.


    i talk about what special interests are, how they are important to us, what they can mean depending on the person, and a few of my main special interests that i have held for years, as well as a few more recent ones. be warned, a lot of autistic joy in this episode ;)


    i hope you enjoy listening, and make sure you are following this page if you do!

  • 07. imposter syndrome sucks.

    hey you! welcome back to another episode of tism talks, i sure hope this finds you well.


    in this episode, i explored the concept of imposter syndrome - how it affects us when we are naturally anxious and indecisive people, how it can affect autistic people worse than we ever realise, and how to attempt to combat those feelings of not being good enough or not deserving your opportunities.


    this is one i am still learning about, as i navigate how to combat imposter syndrome myself. i hope this episode gives you some comfort in feeling less alone if imposter syndrome and feelings of self doubt are something you struggle with too.


    subscribe if you're new, and i'll see you very soon for another ep!

  • 06. four years on.

    hey! welcome back to episode 6 of tism talks, i hope you are doing well, wherever or whenever this finds you.


    this episode felt like a rather difficult yet cathartic one for me to record, but one i am certainly glad i did. this may come across like i am being bitter or resentful at points - i want to make clear that this was not the point of the episode. it is purely a reflection on the experiences i had in this particular relationship, and how it has left a lasting impact on me; a piece of awareness and honesty for anyone who may have experienced similar.


    hope you enjoy listening, and thank you for the continued support. love you x


    see you soon!

    oh hey, fancy seeing you here!

    welcome to the third episode of 'tism talks, today i'm discussing everything to do with the main inspiration for this podcast, my journey in discovering i'm autistic.

    i discuss the assessment process in a little bit of detail, how my perception of autism has changed so much over the years, and how joining in with the neurodivergent joy has been the best decision of my life. all while echoing the message, we're different, not less!

  • ep 02. laughter is the best medicine

    oh hello you, welcome back!


    welcome to the second episode of 'tism talks, today we are diving into my main hyper-fixation and what takes up my brain majority of the time, the world of british comedy, or britcom for short.


    i discuss my top 5 comedians, recommendations for new specials and comics to look out for, plus a general dive-in to my favourite shows and why i love the britcom community so much, and how learning to laugh again was the light at the end of a very dark tunnel for me.


    i really hope you enjoy this episode, and i appreciate you tuning in! see you again soon :)

  • episode 02: peace and pride

    hello and welcome to the second episode of the ac podcast! very sorry for the lack of uploads and huge gap in between the last episode and this one, hopefully this is explained well enough in the episode. i've been quite preoccupied with the changes in my life recently, but i'm hoping this is back for good. thank you for being patient with me, i really appreciate it.

    in this episode i wanted to delve a little more into mental health and my experiences with feeling up and down in the past 12 months, how i've overcome the challenges i have faced and how to make life a little easier to deal with, in terms of removing toxic people and environments. i also explore pride month (happy pride everyone listening in june!) and how being open about my sexuality and gender has made me more comfortable in myself, and i hope the topics discussed in today's episode can help you in some way. be true to yourself, you make the world a better place, i promise. <3

    sorry for this not being the longest of episodes, i'm still getting to grips with the whole podcast game again. hope to see you again soon! thank you for listening, i'm so happy you're here.

    make sure to follow the spotify page!
