    S02 E08 - Season Finale: Coping Mechanisms ft. Holly Smale

    In the season 2 finale of Autistic Women Oversharing, bestselling author, Geek Girl creator and now Bearded Dragon mum (???) Holly Smale joins the Sara/hs to chat about our coping mechanisms, the healthy, the uh… somewhat less healthy and the downright insane.  Settle into your homemade triple-layer sensory deprivation system, strategically dissociate and grab your troll-eating tigers - it’s time to learn how to be the pilot of your own colour-coded life, no matter how unqualified you might be.  Enjoy a few Autistic Women Oversharing firsts, including the first episode to be interrupted by a cockroach delivery and the first time Sarah reduces Sara to stunned silence.  We’ll be back next season with more exciting nonsense. In the meantime, gently put your anxieties to bed and stay away from Fretsylvania. Until autumn - kloveyoubyeeeee (whatever that means).byeeeeeee (whatever that means). Can't get enough 'Tism?

    S02 E07 - Sensory Icks ft. Grace Jarvis

    Grab your massive ear defenders, your wrap-around sunnies and your weighted blanket - the hilarious Grace Jarvis is back with some good, and of course, very bad, advice on staying safe from all the most hideous sensory icks. Join the writers of The Daily Tism as we explain why standup gigs for Autism Parents are a trap, who may and may not hug us and the essential components of a decent hug (squeezing good, back pats bad).  Also in this episode, why mouth noises should be punishable by death, our handy guide for how to sneeze in different languages and the potential gadgets in Sara’s inevitable bionic teeth. Oh, and our thesis on why car horns should come with helpful tone indicators. Why aren’t we in charge of things?  Enjoy the episode and we hope you manage to avoid the hazards of your sensory nightmares, as well as sugar-free sweets, motorbikes and door-to-door onion salesmen.

    S2 E05 - All About Amero ft. Charlie Merriman

    Yes, yes, Valentine's Day is a total cash-grab, but love is real! And we can prove it! In this Very Special Episode, actor, presenter and content creator Charlie Merriman bravely subjects himself to a thorough grilling from Sara about what his intentions are with her co-host. If you want inspiring insights from a mixed-neurotype relationship, there's plenty of that. If you just want to hear about Austenesque first impressions, feeling like a prize heifer, shattering Sarah's tough-girl image, and how to be irresistible to men via the medium of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, there's a healthy amount of that as well. Strap in, and let's heap praise and affection on Sarah until all the comedy leaves her body! Charlie Merriman is an actor, writer, presenter and commentator for Pokémon. His acting profile can be found @CharlieMerriman/@charliefpmerriman and Pokémon profile @Chazingdra across socials. He is also a Pokémon YouTuber & streamer and the host of his own (infinitely more sensible) podcast, Chazingdra Chats, a Desert Island Discs-style deep dive into the life stories of the Pokémon community - available wherever you get your podcasts.Charlie's one-man show, WONDER DRUG: A Comedy about Cystic Fibrosis, sold out at the VAULT Festival in advance of its transfer to the King's Head Theatre and subsequent success at the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with the Pleasance.

    S2 E04 - Things We’ve Been Proven Wrong About ft. Hare Lockwood

    This week, we're joined by Hare Lockwood, comedian, Daily Tism writer and co-founder of Coherent Comedy, to discuss all the things we're happy to have been proven wrong about. This one gets pretty deep, guys, but we promise it's more uplifting than any Inspirational Autism Movie you'd find in the bowels of the Hallmark Channel. In this episode: finding - and creating - a family, looking for love in all the wrong places, breaking into comedy as an autistic person, unlearning a whole heap of societal nonsense, and the shock of improving at things if you keep doing them. Oh, and Sara insisting she's ancient again.

    S02 E01 - School Reports, ft. Laura Richmond

    We're baaaack! Did you miss us? (Let's face it, if you're neurodivergent, you probably forgot that we existed.)  We're kicking off our second series with Laura Richmond, Daily Tism writer and author of All My Worldly Joy, with a special auditory show-and-tell in the form of our old school reports. Whether you were a 'gifted and talented' kid who made an attachment figure out of their English teacher, a chatty young contrarian who preferred the company of her imaginary ghost, or a prodigious yet deeply unpopular budding playwright, pull up a chair at our breakfast club for late-diagnosed burnouts. And, for God's sake, finish your wooden egg. As well as being one of our wonderful writers, Laura Richmond is a researcher, campaigner, and consultant who works to improve mental health care, especially for parents and families. Her recently-released memoir, All My Worldly Joy, is a compelling account of trauma, motherhood and mental health, told with Laura's characteristic honesty and humour. All My Worldly Joy is now available wherever you get your books.  And if you loved listening to her as much as we loved talking to her, Laura will be joining us for a Patreon Live event on Sunday 15th February 2026 at 6pm UK time for a Q&A about All My Worldly Joy! See you all there - and in the meantime don’t forget to rate this show, leave us a nice review and tell all your friends about us!  Can't get enough 'Tism?
