S1. Ep.6 Burn it all down - the truth about "justice sensitivity"

BURN IT ALL DOWN! 🔥 Why are Autistic people known as rigid rule keepers, and yet also social justice warriors? Our need for knowing how society works, and frustration when neurotypical change the rules and move the bar constantly? What's fair is fair... except when you are Autistic trying to navigate made up rules, in an unfair society when laws are usually meaningless. Maybe Autistic people are just sick of the pretence. In episode 6 of series 1, Kitty and Philip delve in to this topic - PLEASE FORM A MEANINGFUL QUEUE! ~ Oh and *please subscribe* if you enjoy! 🫶🏻 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡SUB & FOLLOW US!

S1. Ep5. Narcissistic abuse - What Autistics need to know

What is "narcissistic abuse", and why do Autistic people need to be particularly aware and vigilant? Are we more at risk to fall prey of abusers, and why? Why are we at risk from some misdiagnosing or assuming Autistic people are narcissistic? Join Kitty and Philip as they chat all things narcissistic abuse, distinguish between simple narcissistic traits and NPD - the overuse of the term today, and how it all relates to our community… stay safe from vampires!𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡Follow us!

Did you know that if you are Autistic, there are certain physical health conditions you might be more likely to be born with and develop? Both Kitty (she/ here) and Erinn (they/ them) have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), a connective tissue disorder. As well as this Kitty has Epilepsy, and Erinn FND... both have plenty of other co-morbidiities too, and plenty to chat about!

S1. Ep2. From N*zis to manic pixie dreams girls - Autism history & culture

In todays unscripted ramblings of two Autistic besties, we delve deep in to our history and culture. *TW* for bad people and times... If you are Autistic, please take care watching/ listening to this one. There are plenty of laughs (mostly at my own jokes), but exploring our historical journey and social perceptions is a tough ride... Grab your teddy bear, fidget tools, three beverages and strap in. Leave a comment too if you have noticed the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" troupe in any recent films, or is it a thing of the past? (now we just have m3n seeking it in real life... hurray :/). 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡SUB & FOLLOW US!

S1. EP1. Un-masked

Episode 1 is finally here! Kitty and co-host Philip are here to "un-mask" - two Autistic adults on a mission to share the voices of our community. Unscripted. "Masking" or "camouflaging" in the Autism community is often done out of necessity, to fit in to a world not designed for us. It can begin in childhood, and may be done consciously or subconsciously. It is often forced on us by society, and then as adults we are told we should be strong, proud ND individuals... In reality, many of us struggle with our identity, to un-mask; a strong loss of self develops from this trauma... 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡SUB & FOLLOW US!
