Customer Reviews
In Response
Today’s Autistic Moment does not support the use of functioning labels. If functioning labels are mentioned it is to help educate people as to what they are and why they are harmful. As the owner, producer and host, I can assure you that I don’t support the use of functioning labels.
Background music?
I had to stop a few seconds into the intro. Seriously??? A podcast for autistics with background music while you talk? Not working for me, thank you.
Ableism
Comments about being “on the high functioning end,” less than 10 minutes into podcast. I hear this enough in the world. I don’t need it in the community. No one needs it.
