Finally learning to embrace my hyperactivity and not look at it as a character flaw. Maybe people like me just find movement more relaxing than sitting still, and that’s ok!

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.

Ever find a person who you are SO into...but not in a romantic way? It feels like a crush without the romance. Yes, platonic crushes are a real thing! I suspect that this is a phenomenon that affects us neurodivergent folk a little more because when we find something (or...someone) interesting, we go all in. And that's ok! (I also take a verbal sidequest and talk about actual crushes and how those are ok too, even if you're in a relationship).

She's fierce, she's fabulous, she's Onda Spectrum! Clever drag name aside, this lovely Australian human is super interesting, substantially talented and an amazing interviewee. I had such a fun time talking with Onda about what it's like to be an autistic drag queen, but that's not all we got in to. We took a journey through so many topics (we both have ADHD so, of course we did) and I just know you all are going to love Onda as much as I did.

To find Onda Spectrum go to your local (Australian) drag bar, or just give her a follow on IG @ondaspectrumphd.

How are school and work and life going?? Some parts are going great, other parts are hitting the fan. To sum it up, I'm busy but happy, stressed to the max but finding time for gratitude, and (most importantly) avoiding the break room at all costs. Sometimes self care looks like eating in your car all alone.

Kicking off the new year with one of my favorite interviews yet! Livia Sara is the host of "Liv Label Free", a podcast about Autism and Eating Disorder Recovery. Livia tells about her own experience with an eating disorder, her eventual autism and ADHD diagnosis, and how learning about her neurodivergence has helped her in her recovery. She now helps others as an ED recovery coach and has authored two books: Nourishing Neurodiversity and Rainbow Girl. This is a great conversation packed full of thoughtful insights that you won't want to miss.

Boundaries are often discussed in terms of relationships with others, but what about learning to set boundaries with yourself? Sometimes we can put more pressure on ourselves than anyone else does. Learning to say no to yourself is just as hard - but just as important - as learning to say no to others.

I've got a very personal, vulnerable, and LGBTQ-centric episode for you today. This week I am talking about my partner coming out as non-binary, and how their transition has changed the way the world perceives us as a couple, and me as a lesbian woman. Being partnered with a male-presenting person has at times felt threatening to my identity, and I have been struggling to figure out how to be ok with that.

Do you have a "most embarrassing moment"? When was the last time you felt embarrassed? If you're anything like me, you won't be able to answer these questions because embarrassment really isn't a thing you feel, at least not easily and not often. Is this related to autism, or is it just a "me" thing? I also discuss the first cousins of embarrassment: shame & self-consciousness.

Over the years I've attempted to be so many different versions of myself that I've come to realize I don't really know who I am or what I actually like most of the time. Forcing myself to conform to different ideas of who I *should* be or trying to look a certain way in order to gain (perceived) acceptance has left me lost and confused. I am on a mission to live more authentically, both on the inside and outside, but how? It's so hard to change old patterns of thinking!

If this research smells funky that’s because it’s really old.

Just a thought. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justmyautism/support

One aspect of autism is the fact that we often process emotions differently than others. When it comes to big emotions, like those that come along with the loss of a loved one, it can be even more complex to navigate and sort out, especially with the lack of autism-specific grief resources. I want to thank our guest Beverly for sharing her experience with grief and loss so candidly in an effort to help bring this topic to light and help others.

Life can be hard to navigate when you assume everyone has good intentions. Reading people in this way has never been my strong suit and it has gotten me into some sticky situations and caused me to have a hard time trusting myself and others. If you want more of OTJMA, you can subscribe to the Patreon (patreon.com/ohthatsjustmyautism) which will give you access to our online community and (starting this month) two bonus episodes a month!
