1. Autism and Poor Things: the autistic woman’s coming of age story

Friday, March 29, 2024 • Duration 34:19

I know I’m not the only one who immediately read Bella Baxter as autistic! In this episode I explore all the ways I took Poor Things to be an allegory for autistic womens’ coming of age. There will be spoilers.

For those of you who don't know (get to know! Watch it, it's fabulous): 'Poor Things' is a movie about a woman "brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist. She runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, she grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation." Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and written by Tony McNamara, starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, and Jerrod Carmichael. It wont 4 Oscars at the Academy Awards: Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

02:16 Exploring Autistic Traits Through Bella's Journey

06:24 Naivety and Sincerity

18:08 “Polite Society” and Ridiculous Social Norms

21:35 Difficulty Navigating Friendships and Relationships

25:35 Hyperfixations and Sexuality

26:57 Challenging Gender Norms and Societal Expectations

32:02 Concluding Thoughts on 'Poor Things' and Its Impact

Trailer: Welcome to Autistic As F*ck!

Thursday, March 28, 2024 • Duration 02:18

Welcome to Autistic As F*ck! This is not your typical autism podcast. I created this show so girls and gays like me wouldn't feel so alone in their journey of understanding their brain. I will be sharing my lived experience as it pertains to autism and my identity intersections. I won't share research studies, this isn't a teachable moment as much as a witnessing. You are welcome here to listen, cackle and commiserate.

8. Autism and work: entrepreneurship and employment are different flavours of poop

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 • Duration 33:47

Having to work to live sucks, least of all when how your brain is built doesn't support consistent productivity. In this episode I discuss how difficult I find entrepreneurship and employment, and how much I resent having to betray myself at work just to maintain basic human rights (food, shelter). I get into:

Entrepreneurship and how it triggers our fear of being perceived
Capitalism and the illusion of choice
Workplaces wanting your time and not your productivity
The unfairness and impossibility of monetizing a passion
Fundamental incongruities of autism and conventional offices

6. Autism and Casual Sex: it's not for us, fellas.

Friday, April 12, 2024 • Duration 26:30

This episode is my case against casual sex! Sex is glorious and awesome and I hope we all have more of it. However we can't ignore the challenges inherent to autism that make us very bad candidates for casual sex. In this episode I unpack autistic sensitivities and accommodations that would make “casual” sex, anything but that. I discuss:

The double burden of having to unmask and contend with socialisation that has made women fawn and struggle to self advocate
Meltdowns, breakdowns and going nonverbal during stressful intimacy
What does safe vs. unsafe sex look like for autistic women
The importance of building self trust
Double speak, manipulation vs. Directness
Autistics and a trusting nature/naivity
