Simon just came across the term autistic burnout and wonders how it differs from regular old burnout as he tells you a story about an imagined conflict with Ms. Price, his 5th-grade English teacher, yet came to a satisfying resolution. Email: insideaspergers@protonmail.com

In this episode, Simon talks about growing up in Atlanta and becoming obsessed with the hometown Braves and baseball. This one shows how a simple decision that he is responsible for rippled into adulthood, and is less fulfilling than it sounds.

Simon talks about how easy it is to call some people autistic, why others go misdiagnosed for not fitting into a stereotype, and the fear that comes with either scenario. He also tells you the simplest autism explanation he's heard that will help you identify the condition.

After a long break, Simon talks about what can happen when the activities of two Asperger's individuals are totally opposed to one another.

This episode, with source material from [Neurotribes by Steve Silberman](http://stevesilberman.com/book/neurotribes/), asks an open-ended question: Who should the condition known as Asperger's have been named after?

This monologue is about acknowledging a mom of an Asperger's kid who knew how to manage many personal crises in a brief period of time outside of knowing how to parent a learning disabled child.

Simon, along with his lawyer friends AJ Gil (@hcajg) and Chris Nikitas (@NINJAkitas) tries to define what is and isn't a disability, as well as what is and isn't an excuse for insanity and diminished capacity and when it is applied.

Simon Huebner describes his story and perspective in the first episode of the Inside Asperger's podcast.
