  • EDUCATION

A book and podcast to help late-diagnosed/identified Autistic and ADHD 2SLGBTQIA+ people of color feel seen, supported, and less alone while living in multiple margins. Support our project at https://rewilding.cc/book - funds go toward our interviewees, the Autistic People of Color Mutual Aid Fund, and my disabled friend Nara, a mother of 2 living with multiple sclerosis and pancreatic cancer. *Important Note: The Queer! AuDHD! BIPOC! podcast acknowledges that the Big Tech companies that host and distribute our podcast content, such as Apple, Spotify, Meta (Instagram), TikTok, and Google (YouTube) are complicit in global human rights abuses, wars, genocides, unethical sourcing of minerals, data mining/surveillance, and censorship. We know we can't make everyone happy with our decision to distribute this podcast via these Big Tech channels. Ultimately, our independent podcast strives to make our content as accessible to as many queer autistic and ADHD people of color as possible. We refuse to subscribe to a purity politic that demands every aspect of this project to be ethically "pure," which would just allow white supremacy culture to co-opt and effectively "censor" this podcast altogether. TLDR; Big Tech is terrible, but we need our audience to be able to find our much-needed content. Of course, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please contact us here.
