The Unmasking Unschool Podcast

I especially loved the episode about scripting—mind blown! I feel that I have been given a useful framework adjustment :-) My only critique: I found the “self esteem” and “other people’s thoughts” duo of episodes quite emotionally difficult to finish, because they make the point that other people’s opinions don’t/shouldn’t have real bearing on one’s life and self image. I get where the host is coming from, and idealistically, I agree… but in my practical everyday experience as a mostly-“passing” autistic adult woman… people just say mean things all the time, and you can’t avoid it if you need to work and interact in the outside world. Maybe I’m just stuck on my own rejection trauma, but I wish the host would do an episode about dealing with the fact that people will have really awful negative reactions, and treat you worse than others, no matter what you do to try and prevent it. It’s a hard pill to swallow. 💜 love to my fellow autists, life’s rough out there

As a late-identified, self-identified neurodivergent, I found Sensory Siblings podcast helps me unwind the years of internalized abelism and neurotypical standards I've been judging myself by. Louisa's voice and thoughts are a comforting guide along the path of unmasking and understanding some of the traps I've laid for myself and fallen into! I especially love the episode on other people's thoughts. This podcast is both meditative and constructively helpful!

I’ve only listened to the first episode but I’m hopeful about this podcast. I’ve been looking for more in depth guidance on autism as I’ve only just discovered I’m autistic in my 30s and part of that is learning to understand the parts I always labeled as “broken”; this podcast looks to be a helpful guide to finding out who I really am and explore my constant but often hidden desire to be creative.
