The Autism News NetWORK The Autism News NetWORK

Russ returns to the podcast to talk about his work, his quirks, and growing up in a time before most people knew what autism is.

Kaede hosts this episode on classic gaming and Patrick (Zephyr Blaze) and Dr. Gwynette join in for a throwback to the era of command prompts, sound cards, and VGA graphics.

Kaede's Notes: We had some audio issues and Patrick (aka Zephyr Blaze) had looked up the wrong thing for Powerslave. Powerslave (game) was actually released in 1996. MS-DOS was released in 1981. We did go off topic for the Atari briefly. Here's the links to D-Fend Reloaded and where to get MS-DOS games:

Beatles superfan Russ talks about his nearly lifelong interest in the Fab Four.

Kaede hosts and Jacob and Spencer join in for the first ANN retrograming episode. (Does using emulators kill the experience?)

In this episode, the Autism News NetWORK’s Vell Baria shares the mic with her best friend, Joshua, who traveled across the globe from the Philippines to visit the USA.

Jackson Hamilton makes his debut on the podcast to join Dr. Gwynette in indulging their mutual Taylor Swift fandom. Or, rather, to explain how Swiftie fandom provides fertile ground for the discussion of various mental health topics.
