S1 E1: Welcome to Autistic Licence!
Manage episode 383217165 series 3489922
In this first episode, we talk about why we're starting our podcast.
Leo remembers the comfort of the spoken word on radio in trying to escape the fear of night-time silence as an undiagnosed autistic kid. Whilst Siana thinks about her own childhood discomfort with speaking out, and why sometimes staying quiet can be a survival response for a child living an autistic experience.
As these conversations unfold, we make new connections and re-frame our narratives, and we hope that this might have a similar effect on our listeners.
We talk about how autistic people might find validation and familiarity in our experiences, and how non-autistic people might recognise and better understand autistic people in their lives.
We also begin to explore how being #actuallyautistic therapists influences our work, and why autistic-to-autistic therapy is so important.
Plus, what is “autistic communication” anyway?
