I’m late to this, but I’m listening to the podcasts in order, of course.

You mentioned How To Train Your Dragon. The movie and tv products share the name of a book series, but the HTTYD books (and all Cressida Cowell book series) are NOTHING like the movie and about a MILLION times better. We are massive Cressida Cowell fans, and I urge you to give her stuff a try. They all have heroes who don’t fit in fighting for survival against the double empathy thing while saving the Typicals from outside evil forces—so good! And meant for kids so they’re not graphically violent.

While I’m here, Amelie is Autistic, and all things by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and most likely Caro is too. All of the details of the films’ opening images are so satisfying. The film Delicatessen is a fave.

I think the word you were looking for with the design of Trail House is biophilic design. Anyway it's a term in architecture that means bringing nature indoors to nourish the soul. Sounds like a lovely place.

I’m so excited for this season!!

I’m really curious: is there a way I can be involved at any level with the project you mentioned re: suicidality in autistic adults? I am currently working on a project about my own experience with this and it is incredibly top of mind for me and I’ve been looking for ways to be a part of the solution here

I have not quite finished the episode but thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning WDW and the DAS pass several times! It is breaking my heart. I’m also sorry I missed the opportunity to show you around. Do you need a local correspondent for that episode?

I'd be keen for a menopause episode... I think I've entered perimenopause and it is hell so far (yay for me?)
