Ep. 46 - Competing needs, Communication, & Community Support
Bruce, Kara, and Maja are back! In the first episode of Season 4, they catch up, share what they’ve been up to, and discuss the need for collective advocacy within the autistic community, as well as some of the associated challenges such as competing needs, stressful environments, immediate access to communication and self-insight. We also talk about the importance of individual narratives and listening to build awareness of the needs of others. Fun mentions that didn’t make the title: Michelin stars, a monkey idiom, and why Bruce doesn’t give standing ovations.
