Join me (a woman in her 40’s) as I process the ins and outs of seeking, obtaining, and processing an autism diagnosis at the age of 41.
The Oh, That's Just My Autism podcast is a truly impactful and relatable show that explores the experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum. It provides invaluable insight and understanding for those who are either going through their own diagnosis process or supporting someone who is. The host, Melissa, shares her personal journey with autism in such an authentic and vulnerable way that listeners can't help but feel like they have found a voice that resonates deeply within them.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Melissa's honesty and vulnerability. She opens up about her experiences with autism, both past and present, allowing listeners to gain a genuine understanding of what it's like to navigate the world with this condition. Her stories are relatable, validating, and provide a sense of comfort for those who may be questioning their own neurodivergent identities. The podcast also serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to educate themselves about autism.
However, there are some aspects of the podcast that may not appeal to everyone. Some listeners have mentioned that Melissa's vocal fry can be distracting or off-putting at times. While this may not impact the quality of the content itself, it can be a minor drawback for those who prefer a different vocal style. Nevertheless, despite this small criticism, Melissa's authenticity and the value she brings to each episode make it worth sticking around.
In conclusion, The Oh, That's Just My Autism podcast is an incredibly important resource for individuals on the autism spectrum or those exploring their own potential diagnoses. Melissa's honesty and vulnerability create an atmosphere of understanding and validation that is genuinely appreciated by listeners who may feel alone in their experiences. Although there may be minor drawbacks in terms of vocal style, the overall impact and value offered by this podcast make it highly recommended for anyone seeking to learn more about autism or connect with others on similar journeys.

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!

Yes, I got my autism diagnosis from a psychologist, but in reality my own self-diagnosis came long before that. I credit Sarah Hendrickx with giving me my biggest "aha" moment. I remember watching her YouTube video "Women & Girls & Autism: What's the Difference?" (linked HERE) with my jaw dropped the entire time because it was SO relatable. Was she talking about me?? The resemblance was uncanny. When I asked her to be a guest on my pod she accepted and the rest is history. So sit back and listen as I try not to fan-girl over one of my fav autistic women who is doing so many good things in the world of autism through her writing, public speaking, and helping women find their way to diagnosis.

Ever find a person who you are SO into...but not in a romantic way? It feels like a crush without the romance. Yes, platonic crushes are a real thing! I suspect that this is a phenomenon that affects us neurodivergent folk a little more because when we find something (or...someone) interesting, we go all in. And that's ok!

She's fierce, she's fabulous, she's Onda Spectrum! Clever drag name aside, this lovely Australian human is super interesting, substantially talented and an amazing interviewee. I had such a fun time talking with Onda about what it's like to be an autistic drag queen, but that's not all we got in to. We took a journey through so many topics (we both have ADHD so, of course we did) and I just know you all are going to love Onda as much as I did.

How are school and work and life going?? Some parts are going great, other parts are hitting the fan.

Kicking off the new year with one of my favorite interviews yet! Livia Sara is the host of "Liv Label Free", a podcast about Autism and Eating Disorder Recovery.

She now helps others as an ED recovery coach and has authored two books: Nourishing Neurodiversity and Rainbow Girl. This is a great conversation packed full of thoughtful insights that you won't want to miss.

This week I am talking about my partner coming out as non-binary, and how their transition has changed the way the world perceives us as a couple, and me as a lesbian woman.

Do you have a "most embarrassing moment"? When was the last time you felt embarrassed? If you're anything like me, you won't be able to answer these questions because embarrassment really isn't a thing you feel, at least not easily and not often.

If this research smells funky that's because it's really old. I'm not saying that ALL autism research is bad, I'm just saying that maybe it's time for some fresh new studies that include adults, women/AFAB, and people of color. Just a thought.
One aspect of autism is the fact that we often process emotions differently than others. When it comes to big emotions, like those that come along with the loss of a loved one, it can be even more complex to navigate and sort out, especially with the lack of autism-specific grief resources. I want to thank our guest Beverly for sharing her experience with grief and loss so candidly in an effort to help bring this topic to light and help others.
