    Autism Stories: Dr. Liliya Wheatcraft

    "Carl Jung wrote that the most important conversations of his life were anonymous. Most of what he learned was learning from the patients. And if Carl Jung was able to write that, and if he was able to recognize that, I think an average psychiatrist must be able to do that", says Dr. Liliya Wheatcraft. Dr. Wheatcraft joins this  this episode to discuss being a psychiatrist, evidence-based medication, and defensive mechanisms autistic people may employ during the grieving process.

    Autism Stories: Arianna Faye Davidson

    " I really hate when somebody messages you and they're like, "We need to talk." Because  immediately I'm like, "Oh my god! What did I do? Did I screw up? What's going on?" And I can't focus on anything else until we talk because I think I screwed up. She always gives me an agenda of any meeting we're gonna have, anything that's going on beforehand, these are the things we're gonna talk about, just so I don't internally freak out", says Arianna Faye Davidson. Arianna joins this episode to discuss accommodations that have helped her do her job to the best of her ability, cold calling, and Taiwanese baseball.

    Autism Stories: Destiny Huff

    "Almost every new parent I speak to will go, "The doctor said they need 40 hours of this therapy, this therapy, this therapy, this therapy etc." And I'm like that's kind of what they've been told could benefit, but we know that 40 hours of any therapy in a week is just excessive and too much", says Destiny Huff. Destiny joins this episode to discuss being an educational consultant, neuroaffirming goals , and important things for parents to know about IEPs.

    Autism Stories: TR Sun

    "I realized because it's the pattern recognition really that's why I can play most instruments. Once you understand [music] theory and you understand what it's supposed to sound like, it's really just making your body physically cooperate with you", says TR Sun.

Every story is unique!

I am a parent, and hearing stories from autistic people helps me to understand my child’s experience so much better. Thank you!

I discovered this podcast this evening & I’m sure glad that I did. I’m (mildly) autistic myself and I think there needs to be more shows like this to help people better understand autism, as well as those who have it. I definitely recommend this podcast to others.
