Adult Autism Series Trailer - Series Kick Off Thursday June 14th, 2023
“That’s how I found out that I was on the spectrum!…”
Series Kick Off Thursday June 14, 2023
I was recently diagnosed with Autism in July 2022 while I was employed at PRX Media. I’m no longer at that company I was let go in July 2022. Instead of support I was placed on a PIP (Professional Improvement Plan) soon after I reported to HR about the bullying and harassment by my manager when I revealed to her that I suspected that I might be on the spectrum as I was having difficulty with my job. I never signed an NDA with PRX Media so I'm free to talk about this. I have also received word that my former manager has been fired 10 months after I was let go.
Inspired by what happened to me at PRX, I wanted to produce podcast episodes on Adults who got later in life ASD diagnosis in Women, LGBT+, and People of Color. Autism in women is easily missed as the traits and markers are based on white males on the spectrum. How autism is expressed in women differs, but there are some overlap.
LGBT and POC who are on the spectrum are at risk of discrimination in the workplace. My hope is that this Adult Autism Series will help to provide support to the adult woman, LGBT+ and Person Of Color who is on the Spectrum who maybe struggling and feeling hopeless while at work or in their day to day life. Just because were on the spectrum doesn’t make us incapable! We have a lot to offer and contribute, so why aren’t we given the chance? That’s my big question I hope to find some answers, validation, and sustainable solutions as I navigate this aspect of myself and continue to heal.
The Adult Autism Series will cover how to navigate work/career, Autistics who have their own businesses, Autistics who are living independently how they did it, what was/or not helpful when it comes to independent living, social dynamics, family, dating/marriage, being single/solo, LGBT+, meltdowns/burnout, people of Color on the spectrum. This is for the Adult Autistic who is struggling and is looking for support and apply real solutions in living an abundant life while on a budget.
If you are an Adult who got a later in life diagnosis (Official or Self Diagnosis) and there was a topic that you would like to cover or be a guest on the show? Email porasspodcast@gmail.com
DISCLAIMER:
- I’m not going to pretend to have experience I don’t have when it comes to support for the Adult Autistic. I will reach out to other Adult Autistics who would like to come on the pod and share their experience.
- We will address Assumptions, Misconceptions & the Reality of Adult Autism
- There maybe comments about Spectrum Levels (Level 1, 2, 3). I only mention my level as that is what I was told by my ASD evaluator. Spectrum is Spectrum I won't be focusing on levels. I'll be focusing on Lived Experience and resources that work for me and what works for my guest(s).

Customer Reviews
It’s like having a conversation with good friends.
So, I started listening to this because my wife worked with Veronica. I thought what the heck, let me check out a new podcast. Through out each episode I find myself nodding my head and wanting interject comments. This is a great sign of a good podcast for me. I am engaged and listening to the content. Sometimes I laugh(ok many times) and others I am creatively thinking about the conversation. When I say this, I mean to say is digesting the information and then thinking how would or could I approach this.
Really enjoy each episode. I am definitely hooked.
Great vibes with guests
Veronica is great with any topic and any guest.
Interesting Prople, Fascinating Interviews
Highly recommend! Favorite episode (so far) is the one with Joe Clocek.
