Thanks for this feedback! We’ll be sure to keep working examples of accommodations into the show. So glad you are enjoying it! Keep listening! :-)

Hurray! I’m looking forward to more autistic-coded well-known fictional characters (Mr Darcy?)! Comic conventions and cosplay are autistic. Para-social relationship via podcast hosts are autistic ☺️ Maybe podcasts themselves are autistic, LOVE listening to enthusiastic people sharing all about their special interests ✨

Hi I just wanted to say I absolutely love y'all's podcast but I also have a suggestion for an episode because I would love to hear your opinion on swifties... the whole point is that we are absolutely obsessed with Taylor swift and she is definitely my current special interest I also actually think Taylor herself. I know how so very NT she seems, though I think that many interviews on YouTube as well as the miss americana documentary on netflix, and obviously some of her music (folklore and midnights mostly) might prove otherwise. I listened to the motion pictures episode and it was requested idk where else to ask for something so... her you guys go 🙂

That’s great news! Looking forward to the new season.

What’s been helpful for me is hearing about other Autistics (hosts or the people discussed) habits, behaviours, stims, accommodations and especially how they’ve set up their lives to be more awesome for them (and that it’s OK to do this).

I’m fairly new to realising I’m Autistic, and still enjoying the “oh I’m not crazy” and “that’s OK that I do that” and “you mean I can ask and create accommodations, rather than having to try harder, be less weird, stop being sensitive, etc etc” relief/realisations in every episode.
