We believe that celebrating Autistic Joy is our greatest act of resistance in a world that was not made for us, and some days feels like it seeks to destroy us for being who we were born to be. We make our main podcast totally free, but it’s quite expensive to make and is a huge time commitment.
In the past few years of tremendous global upheaval and uncertainty, perhaps the most valuable lesson we’ve learned as a society, is the importance of centering lived experience when speaking about, and advocating for, marginalized minorities. Autistics are no exception.
Autistic Culture provides authentic insights into what it REALLY means to be Autistic—free from the pathology of medical-models established by people with deeply ableist and eugenics-based views. Are you on the right side of history?
Join us in celebrating the extraordinary minds, and unique contributions, of our Autistic “family members” across history. We’ll be your sassy, fun-loving guides as you journey with us into the values, traditions, and norms of “Autistica”—all of which, tie back to the one thing that we all have in common: the monotropic focus of our hyper-connected brains.
Including (but certainly not limited to):
No missing puzzle pieces here! We’re here, we’re Autistic, get used to it! Thank you for joining us in celebrating differences and embracing the fullness of Neurodiversity.
Authentically yours,
