Selective Mutism: I Have No Mouth. But I Must SCREAM… s2e4

“Are you okay? Are you okay? ARE YOU OKAY?” Like they’re talking to a Japanese tourist. And if they just shout loud enough… he’ll understand English... But I'm autistic. And can't speak. When they unload me from the ambulance & into the ER...

Sh*tpost: The Whole ’It’s-Not-a-Disability-It’s-Society’ Myth… Sucks. s2e3

“They” say #autism… or #ADHD… are not disabilities. It only seems like that in a world designed for “neurotypicals.” I call that some toxic bullsh*t. Heads up. I'm recovering from what may be a "cold"... or... Omicron Covid. So, I may be triple-vaxxed... But I'm unable to record this week. I'm trying an automated reading service to keep in touch with you all. I call this one, "Shitpost: The 'It’s-Not-a-Disability-It’s-Society' Myth… Sucks."

“Not Everyone Was My Friend”: Sexual Assault & An Autistic Life - s02e01

Let’s kick off Season 2 of #AutisticAF Out Loud podcast… by taking a risk. There’s not much research on sexual abuse of autistic children… much less adults. Maybe funding sources aren’t ready… yet… to stop trying to cure us. And study our lives. So here’s my story. Someone’s gotta start talking… I’ve gotta warn you it’s rough. Some was too hard for me to read. So I used an assistive voice synthesizer… Weirdly enough, it’s robotic voice moves me. If you’re autistic, love one, or especially parent...
