Ep 136: Haters Gonna HateHateHateHateHate

Lately I've been hearing the term "a touch of the 'tism" getting thrown around and I'm honestly kind of happy about it. Is this a sign that the immense stigma surrounding autism is gently beginning to lift? Or is this a phrase that diminishes the impact of the struggles that come with being on the spectrum?

Well well well...if it isn't the U.S. Government making announcements based on unfounded claims that Tylenol causes Autism. Why are we constantly trying to prevent and "cure" autism?

When you have a little bit to say about a few different things, you throw all those topics into one episode.

School had me so busy that I fell off from recording but guess what? I graduated! I’m back and hopefully better than ever.

Finally learning to embrace my hyperactivity and not look at it as a character flaw. Maybe people like me just find movement more relaxing than sitting still, and that’s ok! What does relaxation look like to you?

If you know me, you know I'm all about busting those autism myths! One misconception about autistic people is that we aren't funny and don't understand humor or sarcasm. What better way to bust this myth than to have an autistic comedian on the pod?? Mike Brody has been doing stand-up for over twenty years and just received his ASD and ADHD diagnoses last year, in his mid-forties. He's been successfully making people laugh for a while now, so I guess the proof is in the pudding here. I hope you guys enjoy my chat with Mike as much as I did!
