    Episode 2. Processing Styles

    In this episode, we explore processing styles. The different ways our brains take in, organise, and make sense of the world. We talk about bottom up and top down processing, how they show up in everyday life, and why many autistic people experience the world through a detail first lens. We draw on the work of Pellicano and Burr (2012), which helps explain why autistic perception can feel vivid, intense, or too real, and how differences in prediction and sensory processing shape experience. https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/publications/when-the-world-becomes-too-real-a-bayesian-explanation-of-autisti We think about how environments can support or overload different processing styles. Autism friendly adjustments in cinemas are one example of attempts to make spaces more accessible for autistic people. https://www.odeon.co.uk/accessibility/autism-friendly/ https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/going-out-leisure-and-travel/cinemas Carolyn mentions Dr Luke Beardon’s Golden Equation. Autism + Environment = Outcome. A reminder that it is often the environment that needs to change, not the autistic person. https://www.sheldonpress.co.uk/titles/luke-beardon/what-works-for-autistic-adults/9781399804646/ If you’re interested in exploring these ideas further, two helpful books are: Elle Middleton.

    Episode 1. Masking in Autism

    In this first episode, we talk about masking. The ways many autistic people adapt or hide parts of themselves to feel safe. We explore how masking has shown up in our personal and professional lives, the cost of long term masking, and what it can feel like to begin unmasking. Catherine mentions Brené Brown’s idea of shame gremlins, and how internalised messages shape the way we present ourselves. https://brenebrown.com Whether you’re autistic, think you might be, or love someone who is, we hope this conversation brings some insight and comfort.
