    Ep 138: Relaxation ADHD Style

    Finally learning to embrace my hyperactivity and not look at it as a character flaw. Maybe people like me just find movement more relaxing than sitting still, and that’s ok! What does relaxation look like to you?

    Ep 137: A Chat About Autism, Comedy, and Late Diagnosis w/Autistic Comedian Mike Brody

    Ep 137: A Chat About Autism, Comedy, and Late Diagnosis w/Autistic Comedian Mike Brody

    If you know me, you know I'm all about busting those autism myths! One misconception about autistic people is that we aren't funny and don't understand humor or sarcasm. What better way to bust this myth than to have an autistic comedian on the pod?? Mike Brody has been doing stand-up for over twenty years and just received his ASD and ADHD diagnoses last year, in his mid-forties. He's been successfully making people laugh for a while now, so I guess the proof is in the pudding here. I hope you guys enjoy my chat with Mike as much as I did!

    Check out Mike's podcast: Only You Would Think That

    Ep 133: OMG Sarah Hendrickx was on my podcast!

    Ep 133: OMG Sarah Hendrickx was on my podcast!

    Yes, I got my autism diagnosis from a psychologist, but in reality my own self-diagnosis came long before that. I credit Sarah Hendrickx with giving me my biggest "aha" moment. I remember watching her YouTube video "Women & Girls & Autism: What's the Difference?" (linked HERE) with my jaw dropped the entire time because it was SO relatable. Was she talking about me?? The resemblance was uncanny.

    When I asked her to be a guest on my pod she accepted and the rest is history. So sit back and listen as I try not to fan-girl over one of my fav autistic women who is doing so many good things in the world of autism through her writing, public speaking, and helping women find their way to diagnosis.

    You can find more info about Sarah here: https://www.asperger-training.com/sarah-hendrickx
