Bianca and Dan proudly present their unforgettable Autistic Family Spectacular. How our dear listeners choose to interpret the word unforgettable is up to them. This is not our usual format and dare we hazard to say the professionalism this episode is as on-point as getting your husband to wrap the presents. 

So join us and strap in, get your drink on and get your singing voices warmed up because this gets weird. Oh and they offer a heartfelt apology to Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue.

On this episode Bianca and Dan talk all things teenager. Specifically, how different is the teenage experience for autistic people. With depression, anxiety and eating disorders being so prevalent for autistic teens, it is not a stretch to say that this period of your life can be the pits. Bianca and Dan also talk to some actual teens and compare their experience to their own.  We also get some insights from one of our own Party Poopers. 

As usual there are your Text Fuckups, Listener Feedback, Autistic Moments and Dan gets a reprieve from having to give a compliment because he is off to see the Hobbits.

Bianca and Dan have been absent for a few weeks and Chartreuse has something to say about that. Which leads us to this episode's topic. Anxiety. On a previous episode the listeners got to experience Bianca going through a tough stretch with her anxiety, and while she soldiered on it was clear the wounds were still new.  But with time and perspective (and perhaps a little medication) she is ready to discuss that experience with us. We also get to hear from some of the Party Poopers and how they cope when their anxiety gets a bit too much. 

And of course we have some recommendations, text fuckups, Neurodivergent digest and yet another embarrassing Autistic moment from Dan.

This episode has a smell of success about it. There is an aroma of positivity and friendship in the air as we speak to perfumer Rini, a late diagnosed autistic who owns and runs Wilderness Labs, an award-winning business that sells botanical Solid Perfumes and Lotion Bars. Rini talks about her life and her late diagnosis with such clarity and positivity. There are so many facets to her journey that others will associate with and if you are anything like the hosts, you will be inspired to try making your own perfumes or at least smell the world with a different nose.

You can still give a few dollars to Dan for his incredible STEPtember Month (2023) in which he managed 528030 steps all up, you can donate here if you hurry.
