Lately I've been hearing the term "a touch of the 'tism" getting thrown around and I'm honestly kind of happy about it. Is this a sign that the immense stigma surrounding autism is gently beginning to lift? Or is this a phrase that diminishes the impact of the struggles that come with being on the spectrum?

Well well well...if it isn't the U.S. Government making announcements based on unfounded claims that Tylenol causes Autism. Why are we constantly trying to prevent and "cure" autism?

When you have a little bit to say about a few different things, you throw all those topics into one episode. Enjoy the ride through four different trains of thought (plus maybe a few tangents...of course).

If you know me, you know I'm all about busting those autism myths! One misconception about autistic people is that we aren't funny and don't understand humor or sarcasm. What better way to bust this myth than to have an autistic comedian on the pod?? Mike Brody has been doing stand-up for over twenty years and just received his ASD and ADHD diagnoses last year, in his mid-forties. He's been successfully making people laugh for a while now, so I guess the proof is in the pudding here. I hope you guys enjoy my chat with Mike as much as I did!

Yes, I got my autism diagnosis from a psychologist, but in reality my own self-diagnosis came long before that. I credit Sarah Hendrickx with giving me my biggest "aha" moment. I remember watching her YouTube video "Women & Girls & Autism: What's the Difference?" (linked HERE) with my jaw dropped the entire time because it was SO relatable. Was she talking about me?? The resemblance was uncanny.

When I asked her to be a guest on my pod she accepted and the rest is history. So sit back and listen as I try not to fan-girl over one of my fav autistic women who is doing so many good things in the world of autism through her writing, public speaking, and helping women find their way to diagnosis.
