Spotkanie w Londynie może zaważyć na przyszłości Ukrainy. Tymczasem na polskim podwórku: dane GUS o sprzedaży, PMI z globalnych gospodarek i nowe otwarcie Europejskiego Kongresu Gospodarczego. A w tle – dywidenda LPP i pytanie, kto naprawdę zarabia w Rosji. Zapraszam na PB BRIEF - Marcin Dobrowolski.
Social media is passing around an announcement that Huawei is testing a China-domestically developed EUV machine. This machine uses an EUV light source known as Laser-induced Discharge Plasma, or LDP. This is in contrast to ASML's method, which is called the Laser Produced Plasma or LPP method. It is claimed that LDP is much more efficient than LPP. Smaller, simpler and with better energy efficiency. Has ASML just been DeepSeek'd? I have been asked to speak on this via email and Twitter. I guess I have to do it. There is so little out there about how this machine works, so I am not going to speculate. But people have tried LDP before and we can talk about that. Feel free to extrapolate from there. In today's cope video, let's take a look at the Laser-Induced Discharge Plasma EUV light source.

Send us a textHey all! It's been a crazy ride with LPP but its time has come to an official close. I wanted to share one final message to let you know that episodes of LPP will be removed from streaming platforms on April 4th, 2025. We made this announcement on Instagram, but wanted to relay it here since we recently saw folks discussing the show unaware that it had ended. Thanks for listening!

And that pretty much took up the whole session with me trying to figure out how to answer that question. Then, I would end up crying about the fact that question was hard and I didn't know the answer to it…But nobody mentioned things like alexithymia, which might have been helpful to know.”“That's actually like the biggest thing…Trying to translate the mysterious signals of one's meat body into understandable things.”What have your experiences in therapy been like?

Welcome to Interview #12 of our interview series. Voting for recreational here in Florida will not free people locked up from non-violent cannabis crimes. We are privileged to be able to consume in a medical state, but many are not as lucky, and get long sentences from small cannabis offenses. Today's interview is important for this reason. Stephanie grew up in Sacramento, California, the youngest of seven children. In 2005 Stephanie moved from California to New York to achieve her goal of selling Real Estate. In 2010 Stephanie was convicted of conspiracy to distribute 1000+ kilos of Marijuana. As a first-time, non-violent offender, Stephanie was sentenced to 10 years in the Federal Bureau Of Prisons. On June 5, 2019, the ankle monitor was removed and she was placed on Federal Probation for the next five years. Stephanie now serves as the Partnerships Manager for Last Prisoner Project as well as serving on the Board of Directors and is adamantly advocating with LPP in the fight for restorative justice for those who have suffered and for those who continue to suffer, as she has from Cannabis criminalization. The Last Prisoner Project (LPP) is a nonprofit organization working to fix problems in the criminal justice system related to cannabis laws. Their main goal is to free every person who is still in prison for non-violent cannabis offenses and to help repair the damage caused by the war on drugs. @stephy_sheps Website www.lastprisonerproject.org --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/potsmokingmoms/support

This episode originally aired on December 12, 2023 under the title “Autistic Centered Therapy - AuCT”Matt Lowry, LPP, tells his co-host, Dr. Angela Lauria all about AuCT: a style of therapy that he created to help support his autistic clients in an authentic, neurodiversity-affirming way.“CBT just taught me, like, “Mask harder. Don't be annoyed. Ignore your senses.”“CBT does not work for us because it's not structured for our brains.”“(CBT)'s essentially gaslighting. But for neurotypical people, it starts pruning their synapses. But, since we don't do that, it's completely meaningless for us.”What do you think the world would be like if AuCT was taught in graduate school programs for therapists and social workers?

Welcome back to another episode of the Evidence-Based Hair Podcast. This week, we continue our June theme of JAK inhibitors, focusing on the use of topical JAK inhibitors for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) and lichen planopilaris (LPP). In this episode, we delve into a significant study by Dr. Maryanne Senna and colleagues from Boston, exploring the effectiveness and side effects of topical 2% tofacitinib for LPP and FFA. The study, involving 41 patients, provides valuable statistics on improvement and stabilization rates, offering practical insights for clinical application. We discuss the potential of topical JAK inhibitors, given their less systemic absorption compared to oral forms, and their specific relevance to scarring alopecia where inflammation is closer to the skin's surface. Despite some challenges with compounded topical formulations, the study's promising results highlight a third of patients showing improvement and over 60% achieving disease stabilization. Join us as we wrap up our June series on JAK inhibitors and prepare for July, where we'll focus on the antiandrogen spironolactone and its use in androgenetic hair loss in women. Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to our next discussion on the Evidence-Based Hair Podcast. STUDY REFERENCED Li-Chi Chen, Chino Ogbutor, Kristen J Kelley, Maryanne M Senna.

Welcome back to the Evidence-Based Hair Podcast! This episode continues our June theme on JAK inhibitors, focusing on their topical use for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) and lichen planopilaris (LPP). We'll delve into a groundbreaking study by Dr. Maryanne Senna and colleagues from Boston, examining the effectiveness and side effects of topical 2% tofacitinib for FFA and LPP. The study's results provide encouraging data, showing that about 31.6% of patients experienced improvement, and 60.5% saw disease stabilization. Join us as we explore the potential of topical JAK inhibitors in managing scarring alopecia, their practical applications, and the implications for future treatment protocols. Don't miss our insightful discussion on this emerging therapy and how it could transform patient care. Next month, we'll shift gears to discuss spironolactone and its role in treating androgenetic hair loss in women. Stay tuned!

Matt Lowry, LPP, gives his co-host, Dr. Angela Lauria, a special infodump about one of his idols: George Lucas.* Lucas's early life, including his relationship with his Vader (“father”).* The vital role that PDA played in Lucas's first film company. Plus, the many Autistic traits that helped Lucas to think outside of the box and change the way that movies are made.* Movie casting and socializing with the actors - Autistic style! * George Lucas's personal journey from scrappy Rebel to lord of Empire.“George Lucas is a socially awkward man who does not like eye contact or small talk, loves talking about: cars, things that move fast, technology, film editing. He loves mythology. He loves sociology. He loves how myth can make the world a better place. He's got a lot of social justice sensibilities. Yeah, I really think that there is a lot of evidence that says that he firmly belongs enshrined in the Autistica Hall of Fame.”“He had a lot of new outside-of-the-box ideas. He did not follow traditional patterns. He was very, very much a learner.”“Carrie Fisher said he had two directions: ‘Faster and more intense!'”“But he said, ‘F**k the systems. F**k all the systems. I am out of the systems. I'm going to do the things the way that I want to do them.' Because PDA.”“She is and will always be an icon. She is one with The Force.

Matt Lowry, LPP and Dr. Angela Lauria chat about the popular Australian cartoon, Bluey.* Bluey's short episodes and silly imaginary play is accessible for children, but the deeper themes and storylines are geared towards adults, making it fun and enriching for the whole family.* Research on Bluey and the ‘tism that resulted in a mix of evidence and, “A really interesting left turn!” * Why some Autistics love Waldorf schools…and why some (including Angela) cannot stand them.“I have been brought to many a tear by Bluey and her family.”“Oh, no!

Autistic hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, interview belly dancer and entrepreneur, Arielle Juliette. * Sensory sensitivities and accommodations in dance.* Cultural appreciation versus cultural appropriation.* Running a business on “glitter and non-denominational Jesus.”* Echopraxia and Arielle's other super hero powers.* Perks of (mild) hypermobility.* “Meat sack” and “brain sack” communication* How to teach dance using bottom up processing.* Angela and Arielle's body liberation journeys.* Arielle's autistic self-identification and realization he's trans!* How internet trolls and haters helped Arielle tap into deeper self-acceptance and self-love.* Group stimming and regulation, plus body resonance fun!* Stimming as the genesis of great art.“What if stimming is the core cultural attribute of some of our highest art?”“So I actually, I recommend people have haters. I recommend you have haters, and that you say to them, ‘F**k you. I'm doing me.'”“It's about coming together for our weekly regulatory time. You know, we have this set time that we will always come and regulate together. We're going to shimmy, we're going to stim, we're going to sing, we're going to sweat. It's going to be awesome.”Arielle Juliette (he/him and she/her) is the owner of Dance Life, where he cultivates an atmosphere that celebrates, supports, and embraces the autistic dance experience. Arielle has had a special interest in dance since 2004, and shares her love of Egyptian dance in particular through silly songs and easy to understand anecdotes, while leaving behind the allistic conformity of right/left, counts, and perfection. He also creates viral social media videos, where he strives to bring his unmasked, joyful, autistic self and the idea that all bodies (and neurotypes!) are worthy.Have you group stimmed in some way?

#ActuallyAutistic podcast hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, interview Dr. Kade Sharp to discuss the ways that kink fits into Autistic culture. * What is kink (spoiler: it's not necessarily sexual!), what are some common kinks, and are “kinksters” dangerous or ill?* The fundamental flaws in most research methods that explore Autistic sexuality.* Stereotypes and misunderstandings that most people have about the kink community.* Kinky spreadsheets and other Autistic systems of communicating comfort and consent.* Honoring sensory differences, connecting through SPINs, defined expectations, and other ways that the kink community appeals to so many autistics.* How kink helps neurodivergent folks to feel empowered—regardless of whether or not they identify as a kinkster. * Tips on exploring kink with partners, finding kinky folks to explore with, and getting kinky solo.“I think I just found out I'm kinky.”“I think a lot of your listeners are going to find that out today.”“Someone asked if he was my biological son. And I said, ‘why, yes.' And somebody was like, ‘well, how did you make him?' And…It occurred to me while answering this question: there is a big myth out there that we do not have the sex.”“Kink is not just sexual. So, in fact, a good proportion of the folks that responded to my eligibility survey for the study were on the aro/ace spectrum.”“There's so much unspoken stuff and so much resentment because allistic partners say, ‘You should know what I want,' or that kind of nonsense. But when you explicitly negotiate and have spreadsheets regarding everything from eye contact to butt stuff, it makes relationships run a lot smoother.”Are you an Autistic kinkster?

This episode:Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP chat with Ashley Storrie—the autistic writer and star of the new series, “Dinosaur” (available on Hulu in the U.S.). Discussed:* The unconventional way that Ashely was brought on as a writer and the importance of Autistic writers shaping autistic characters.* How Ashley came to discover her autistic identity.* Autistic linguistics and the “shape” of words.* How production accommodated Ashely (and everyone else!). Plus, how Ashley avoided being triggered while authentically portraying overwhelm and overstimulation.* Why casting autistic actors in autistic roles is not only good representation—it's good business!* An autistic brain love fest.* The behind-the-scenes process of deciding on the exact sexual history of Ashley's character, Nina.* Same foods, sensory seeking tastes, and stimming with food!* Ashley's complex history with The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.Quotes from this episode:“And she was like, you know, ‘You spend your life accommodating people. How about for this, we'll accommodate you?'”“So good, so clever, but also understood the assignment because it's a lived experience. And that's like you're saying: if you live it and you know it, it's not hard.”“It was more going right into myself and saying, ‘Who would you be if you didn't have all of that burden of pretending?'”“She's overcoming people, and maybe their relationship to autism, and she's overcoming other people's things, but never autism itself. That's a part of her and she loves it.”“So I've licked the Great Wall of China. I've licked Jimi Hendrix's guitar…It was such a compulsion of tasting history that I had to do it.”“And I have like a crunchy food, a soft food, a wet food and a dry food. And that's how I roll.”“Yeah, so much of what's magical about this show is just feeling so seen. And it's just such a gift.”More on Ashley:Comedian, writer and actress Ashley Storrie can be heard hosting her BBC Radio Scotland show live every Friday night from 10pm-1am. She is also the co-host of the new Midsomer Murders Podcast. Ashley is also known for her Harry Potter parody #tanyapotter, which has now had over 22 million views.

Matt Lowry, LPP and Dr. Angela Lauria discuss:* Which came first: the autistic or the neurotypical? Are Autism and ADHD the same thing? Do neurotypicals have a disorder of pruning? * How ‘X-Men' addresses discrimination, social justice, and provides representation for marginalized groups.* The two canonically autistic X-Men and several autistic-coded ones too! Plus, some of the errors allistics make when they try to write autistic characters.* Spiky profiles, code-switching, and the price (and privilege) of masking.* Matt's no-holds-barred honest opinion of ABA for autism.* Hans Asperger, his legacy, and real-life mandatory autism registrations in at least eight U.S. states. * And, are bleach enemas a “cure” for autism? (Hint: NO!)Quotes from this episode:“In X-men, Mystique, the shape changer, can turn into human looking people and they ask her, ‘You can be anyone you want. Why do you do this?' And she said, ‘Well just because I can be anyone I want, doesn't mean I should have to. You should be able to be yourself you should be able to be free to be the real authentic you and not mask.' And, she literally masks all the time for survival, and that is exhausting.”“First stone tools—autistic people. First iron bridges—autistic people. Calculus—autistic people, like everything. We are not a new phenomenon.”“So basically we hoard our synapses like we hoard our collectibles.”“We are synapse hoarders. And this is why our brains process up to 42% more information at rest than neurotypical people.”“If you like weird, dark ‘Glee,' you're going to love this.”Which X-Men superpower would you use to make the world safer for autistics?

Autistic hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, are joined by autistic author, Becca Lory Hector. Topics include:* Midlife autism diagnosis…and all of the bumps and bruises along the way to get there. Plus, is autism really “over-diagnosed”?* Why identification is so important—at any age.* A neuro-affirming way to process, unpack, and grieve after diagnosis. * “Autistic preppers bags”: what they are and why we need them.* The ultimate place for “hobbity” people to get lost in the woods.* Navigating relationships post-autism identification, including mixed-disability relationships.* The nuances of masking: who, what, when, where, and why.“An undiagnosed autistic person cannot—it's impossible—to take care of yourself. You don't have the information you need.”“And while we're expected to move on with our lives when our reality gets invalidated, neurotypicals really struggle when we do that to them.” Ode to the McNugget: “The perfection of McDonald's chicken nuggets is something to be marveled at a savory symphony of taste and texture accompanied by instant comfort and joy. Each golden crispy nugget is a bite of bliss. A delightful treasure, perfectly seasoned and cooked to tender, juicy excellence that pairs perfectly with the salty, savory goodness of their fries. The fries with their ideal crunch on the outside and soft, fluffy insides are the perfect companion to the magic of nuggets. Dipping them both into a favorite sauce creates a harmony of flavors to delight your senses. For me, McDonald's chicken nuggets aren't just a meal, but a joyful escape that consistently brings meaningful pleasure and comfort to my life. And no matter how many times I go, eating nuggets and fries remains a cherished ritual that brings me guaranteed satisfaction with every bite. Whether it's a reward after a doctor's appointment or a quick treat to lift my spirits, McDonald's chicken nuggets remind me that simple pleasures can bring the greatest joy.”What's in your “Autistic peppers bag”?* For a limited time, early listeners can get their FREE copy of Becca's book at: www.AlwaysBringYourSunglasses.com* Course: Self-Defined Living - A path to a quality autistic life* Becca's website, Facebook, and InstagramWhat to listen to next:* Episode 21: Dino Nuggets are Autistic* Episode 31: Chess is Autistic* Episode 47: Autistic Centered Therapy - AuCT* Episode 61: Wikipedia is Autistic* Episode 63: Elsa is AutisticReady for a paradigm shift that empowers Autistics?

He broke the system to where they had to patch the hole, because he's so good.” —Matt“If you are autistic—especially as a woman—and you have been masking and scrounging to survive, often there is trauma associated with it.” —Angela“But, I think a lot of it is a trauma response of not knowing how to love her neurodivergent brain.” —AngelaAre you “Team Gaiman” or “Team Palmer”?

*This episode was HIGHLY requested by Autistic Swifty listeners and their contributions are incorporated throughout. Much like how Cher is a Queer culture icon—regardless of her own sexual orientation—we are celebrating Swift as an Autistic culture icon—regardless of her own neurotype. This is a celebration of the ways we see our fabulous culture represented in the once-in-a-generation, Taylor Swift.In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discuss the many ways that Taylor Swift and her fanbase of “Swifties” represent Autistic Culture. Including:* Swift's encyclopedic knowledge about cats and use of music to find purpose, community, and a successful career. Plus, super fanning, Swifties, and the elements of a “good” special interest.* The autistic joy that comes from decoding puzzles, riddles, and “Easter eggs.”* Swift's spot on descriptions of feeling like an outsider and masking in order to fit in, as expressed in her lyrics and interviews.* Autistic body language and Autistica's stimming anthem!* The intersection of capitalism, privilege, and disability.* The relationship between justice sensitivity and expectation sensitivity.* Swift's Autistic family tree.Episode Quotes:“Listen, Taylor is the biggest star in the universe right now, and she represents Autistic Culture. And as the (Autistic) PR department, if we are not waving the flag: ‘The biggest star in the world is from Autistica!'…We have to. We have to celebrate this. There is so much to celebrate.” —Angela“Yeah, this is the way. Because we don't do anything half-assed. If it's worth doing and worth obsessing about, we go all the way.” —Matt“Taylor's response to that was, ‘Well I am weird, and the cat jokes will stay!'” —Angela“It's very very very difficult, especially for celebrities, to come out because of the connotation of what it might mean to be autistic, because there might be some person somewhere saying, ‘You can't be autistic! You're nothing like my five-year-old boy!'” —Matt“That is why she wrote Shake It Off. That is the song of our people! That is a cultural hymn!” —AngelaAre you an autistic Swifty?

In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discuss authentic autistic representation in the character of Elsa from Frozen. They discuss masking, unmasking, ABA, sensory differences, autistic lineage, autistic women, and the heroes journey we all must take if we want to “Let it Go” and adventure “Into the Unknown.” Beyond that, this week's quotes speak for themselves:The wind is howling like this swirling storm insideCouldn't keep it in, heaven knows I triedDon't let them in, don't let them seeBe the good girl you always have to beConceal, don't feel, don't let them knowWell, now they knowLet it go, let it goCan't hold it back anymoreLet it go, let it go—“Let it Go”“They were trying to conceal her because they didn't want the kingdom to know that she had powers. They were trying to make her fit in. To hide, to conceal, to fix. And it's very much ABA vibes.” —Matt“One of the biggest dangers of coming out (as autistic) is being vulnerable and losing your support system…and losing the people that you once thought liked you but just like the mask that you wore. So (unmasking) takes a lot of guts.” —Matt“And this is a big part about Frozen 2 because when we find ourselves, that can be an incredibly lonely process. Because, we have to we have to start shedding pieces of ourselves, one piece at a time to try to figure out—to get to the core of who we really are.” —Matt“You kind of have to settle into who you actually are instead of who you've been pretending to be.” —Angela“That does not happen the day the doctor says, or doesn't say, ‘You're autistic.' Nothing magical happens that day. The magic is like the years and years of work and grief and processing and trying things, all the things you would have been doing.” —Angela“There's often, like, this unresolved resentment because when you finally figure out who you are you're like, holy s**t, why didn't anyone (A) ever tell me (B) love me for who I really was or (C) tell me that I didn't have to hide myself?” —MattDo you relate to Elsa and the songs from Frozen?

*TW: This episode discusses ableist policies and “therapies” and their statistically likely consequence - death by suicide. Please respect your personal and emotional boundaries and listen with careIn this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, are joined by two Autistic advocates to discuss a concerning situation in Kentucky where an "autism mom" is pushing for ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy to be mandated in all public schools across the state. Matt, a member of the Kentucky Advisory Council on Autism (KACA), strongly opposes this move along with his fellow autistic council members Winter Type 01 Alice (“Winter” for short) and Kat. As a safe-guard, they make sure to state that their opinions are their own and not that of the council. “My opinions are not those of those useless neurotypical cowards on the Autism Advisory Council.” — WinterThe main points raised are:* ABA is seen as unethical by many autistic people as it focuses solely on modifying outward behaviors without addressing inner experiences, thoughts and feelings. It operates from a deficit model of trying to make autistic people appear more neurotypical regardless of the negative outcomes of masking.* Matt, Winter, and Kat argue that including autistic voices and prioritizing acceptance, accommodations and understanding is far more beneficial than pursuing the outdated goal of a colonialist and eugenics-motivated "cure" for autism.* ABA is dangerous. It causes trauma and deepens the shame of internalized ableism. It also leads to an increased likelihood of death by suicide.* Investing money into better teacher training, more special education staff (especially Autistic educators), sensory rooms, class support animals, and other accommodations would be much more helpful for autistic students than forcing ABA on them.* Autistic advocates face burnout from constantly fighting these battles, especially those with fewer resources (a frequent result of societal ableism). Building community support and sharing the advocacy workload is crucial.* There is a window of opportunity to organize and counter the autism mom's push before the bill (HCR 51) advances too far. Connecting autistic-led organizations and advocates is key to stopping it.“Self-acceptance is free, accommodations are pretty cheap, but ABA is a 1.8 billion dollar a year industry that claims—irrationally so—to fix autistic kids.” —MattThe overall perspective is that autism is an integral part of identity, not a disease to be eliminated. Ethical, compassionate support focusing on authentic quality of life for autistic people should be the priority over compliance-driven behavioral modifications.What kind of neurodiversity-affirming supports would have helped you in school?

Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discusses how Wikipedia depends heavily on autistic editors and volunteers. However Wikimedia is ran by allistics who have a pattern of exploiting the autistic labor force they depend on without proper compensation or appreciation.Wikipedia's systematic approach to organizing information fits right in with Autistic culture! We love sharing facts around special interests and often have skills in categorizing and referencing data.Autistic data hunger and justice sensitivity often combine to help autistic editors to be inclusive of different cultural perspectives and knowledge. However, tensions arise around what constitutes neutrality and "facts" when editing hot-button topics. For example, what constitutes a “neutral” entry about the Confederate flag?“A lot of arguments among neurotypicals happen because they they want to know who is right but a lot of arguments between autistics happen because they want to know what is right.” —MattUnfortunately, the inner workings of Wikipedia show a pattern of ableism from both the neurotypical employees and the “A-Spectrumers” at the company who perform neuronormativity and express internalized ableism through their bullying of autistics and use of functioning labels.A former autistic Wikimedia employee, "Jane," faced harassment, discrimination and bullying after disclosing her autism diagnosis. She filed an EEOC complaint but dropped it due to burnout.Jane shared how Wikimedia's neurotypical management frequently demeans and mocks autistic editors and labor behind the scenes, even as they exploit and fundraise off that free labor.The podcast urges supporting local Wikipedia chapter groups which are often run by autistics instead of donating to Wikimedia's central fundraising, and encourages privileged autistics to become high-edit count editors to change the culture from within.“Don't give money to the Wikimedia Foundation. Do use your privilege—if you have power and extra bandwidth—and…get your editor count up so you get a vote to change things from the inside. Don't do that if it's going to be detrimental to your mental health—take care of that first.” —Angela The episode explores the complex interplay of Wikipedia providing an autism-friendly platform for special interests while also perpetuating ableism in its management and fundraising practices around this uncompensated autistic workforce.How has ableism affected you in the work place?

In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discusses the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest, which is set in a video game development studio. The show features several characters who are coded as being on the autism spectrum, particularly the lead character Poppy Li, played by Charlotte Nicdao. The hosts analyze how Poppy's personality, interests, and behaviors align with common autistic traits.“There are not only autistic traits and autistic culture represented, like clearly, in the show but also in the fan culture around the game.” —MattThey discuss Poppy's backstory revealed in Season 3, where as a child she struggled to meet her parents' expectations around socializing and instead was passionate about video games like Final Fantasy. Her monotropic focus and subsequent tendency to approach challenges like a video game are highlighted.The hosts also discuss other autistic-coded characters like Rachel, Dana, and Joe. They explore themes around autistic culture portrayed in the show, such as pursuing special interests, difficulty with allistic social cues and figurative language, and tensions between individual visions versus capitalist-driven corporate directives.“We want a neurodiverse world. That is why we do not want all autistic people to be ‘cured,' ‘fixed,' or otherwise adulterated to please neurotypical people because you need us for your stone bridges, for your creation of calculus, for your understanding of bugs, for your world building. Like you need us but also, like, we need you—it is neurodiversity affirming not exclusive to autism. But, if we aren't the PR department for autism who is going to be? Because there's a lot of people trying to kill us.” —AngelaThe hosts commend the show for its positive autistic representation through complex characters across a range of experiences and personalities. They contrast this to common negative stereotypes about autism. Overall, they recommend Mythic Quest as an insightful and entertaining look into autistic lives and culture.Are you a gamer?

In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discuss the challenges that autistic AFAB people face during pregnancy and childbirth.The biggest struggle with being autistic and pregnant is not realizing that your needs are not being met.There is very little information and research available on pregnancy and autism. Autistic people have unique needs and heightened sensitivities during pregnancy that often go unrecognized and unaccommodated.Angela shares about her severe morning sickness throughout pregnancy, her list of safe foods dwindling to just two semi-safe foods, and how she didn't experience the “woo woo” connection to the fetus that other women described. Instead, she described it feeling like a "football-sized tumor."She faced criticism from others for not having a "typical" pregnancy experience and was abandoned by her care provider for asking questions like, “Why are you doing this very painful thing?” Many allistics (including doctors) expect autistic people to comfort them by masking even during major physical and hormonal changes.Our study found that women with ASD face unique challenges during childbirth that differ from those of neurotypical women. Participants often felt belittled, ignored, and uninformed about the care they received and being placed at the center of attention was often seen as negative and hindering rather than positive.Giving birth in hospitals can be problematic - high rates of medical interventions are pushed to maximize profits. Things like due dates, pitocin drips, epidurals and C-sections often happen by default regardless of the pregnant person's birth plan. Angela ended up with an epidural that didn't work and an unplanned C-section.Working with a doula helped Angela feel prepared through detailed explanations of what would happen, why, and when. This helped mitigate anxiety and trauma from medical interventions.The hosts emphasizes the need for community, story sharing, and trauma-informed care around pregnancy and birth for autistic people. Self-understanding and identity is key in advocating for one's needs.What was your Autistic experience of being pregnant?

#ActuallyAutistic Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discuss the many autistic themes and characters in TV show "The Good Place.”The character Chidi displays numerous Autistic traits, including a clear special interest he can insert into any conversation, process complexity, a concrete thinking style, consistent anxiety, interoception difficulties, and a high level of integrity adhering his own personal morality. His method of reading tables of contents to calm down also resonates—especially with Angela!“So Chidi, my god, if there's ever an autistic coded character, it is definitely Chidi.” —MattEleanor is Queer, loyal, and a human “bullshirt” detector. She demonstrates perspective-taking challenges, a tendency to miss allistic social cues, direct communication, and is lectured about her “tone.” Her backstory of trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) also fits the pattern of many late-diagnosed autistic women.Jason embodies passionate interests with his fixation on the Jacksonville Jaguars and Molotov cocktails. This monotropic focus combined with a tendency to be inattentive aligns with ADHD which has a lot of overlap with autism.“Well, so back in May, they discovered that ADHD brains are hyperconnected just like ours. So that's why there's such a large overlap. And now, again, for the longest time…they knew that our brains were immune to the mTORs, which caused the hyperconnected brains, which again, they try to cure us by pruning our brains, which resulted in a lot of brain cancer.” —MattThe gradual evolution of the AI Janet's identity, as she asserts her preferences beyond what her original programming dictated, mirrors an autistic unmasking journey.Tahani is exhausted from a lifetime of masking to fit her family's standards. Actor Jameela Jamil shares she has EDS, POTS, mast cell activation syndrome, and other conditions common among autistic individuals.Architect Michael displays fascination with humans, impatience with excessive details, preference for concrete examples over philosophical debate, and a literal interpretation style.Overall, the hosts see The Good Place as profoundly Autistic in its monotropic moral philosophy focus, diverse representation of neurodivergence, and insightful illustrations of autistic experiences.Starting around 53:24 Angela spontaneously demonstrates which aspects of Autistic Culture?

Autistic hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discussed their love for the television show Community, which they consider an "Autistic love fest." They praised the show's protagonist Abed Nadir, played by Danny Pudi, as possibly the greatest Autistic character in TV history. Abed is canonically autistic on the show, and he embraces his identity without wishing to be neurotypical.“Danny understands this and portrays it so well and so accurately without a hint of pity. He does not want to be neurotypical.” —MattThe hosts talked about how the show's creator Dan Harmon realized he is on the autism spectrum himself as an adult while writing Abed. The evolution of the relationships between the study group friends like Troy and Abed is explored, with the hosts praising how the show allows the characters to "unmask" and become more authentically themselves over time. Danny Pudi's ability to accurately portray Abed's autistic mannerisms and traits are highlighted.The hosts denounce common incorrect stereotypes about autistic people, like the idea they lack empathy or desire social connections. Matt and Angela celebrate the positive representation of Autistic culture in Community and contrast it with Sheldon Cooper and The Big Bang Theory.“So it's a uniquely Autistic-centered—celebrating Autistic culture, celebrating Autistic heritage, celebrating the autistic mindset. Whereas Big Bang Theory, it's a laugh track constantly. The punchline is always autism.” —MattDetails about the show's production are shared, including how Chevy Chase caused creator Dan Harmon to be fired for a period, leading to a poorly received 4th season under new allistic showrunners. The highly anticipated upcoming Community movie is discussed, including plot details revealed by Donald Glover about it being a reunion documentary.Overall, Community is highly recommended by Matt and Angela as a show created by and for Autistics.Which Community character do you relate to most?

*contains SPOILERSDr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, deep dive on the book and TV series "Lessons in Chemistry," which centers around an Autistic female scientist named Elizabeth Zott (played by Brie Larson) in the 1950s. Elizabeth forms a relationship with another scientist named Calvin Evans, who is also Autistic. Their relationship depicts an "Autistic love story" with themes like info-dumping as an expression of intimacy and negotiating accommodations.“Like we talk about the double empathy problem and why relationships are easier if you are with another autistic person in some ways. That doesn't mean there are no problems or nothing to negotiate.” —AngelaOther notable autistic-coded characters are discussed, like Elizabeth's daughter Madeline—Mad—who is precocious and constantly asks complex questions. The portrayal shows a nurturing environment for an autistic child, contrasting with the gaslighting many autistics experience growing up.“Like I said, that trauma and that gaslighting is so fundamental to like our expectation sensitivity, our need to document things. When you ask us a question like our need to give you 30 reasons why we made the decision we made because we know how badly these things go but they don't have to if you create a more neuro-inclusive family structure and that really happens.” —AngelaThemes of masking, special interests, data collection, and social justice advocacy also come up in portraying authentic Autistic Culture. Changes from the book to the TV adaptation are analyzed. Overall, the podcasters greatly appreciate the attention to detail and accurate depiction of autistic experiences and culture in the series.What is something Culturally Autistic about your romantic relationship?

*Contains SPOILERSHosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, enthusiastically discuss the recent 4-part 60th anniversary Doctor Who specials on Disney+ overseen by returning showrunner Russell T Davies. M: T. Davies is gay himself. He's very outspoken about a great many aspects of making the world better for marginalized people.A: Yeah, so basically imagine JK Rowling, and then imagine the opposite.M: Like, yeah, he is the counterforce to JK Rowling.They highlight Davies' commitment to inclusivity through new characters like ambulatory wheelchair user Ruth Madeley. The first special "The Starbeast" features the return of David Tennant's 10th Doctor unexpectedly regenerating back following Jodie Whittaker's 13th Doctor's departure. It also brings back classic companion Donna Noble and her previously unknown transgender daughter, Rose.The third special "The Toymaker" features Neil Patrick Harris as an omnipotent, game-playing villain, The Toymaker, from classic Doctor Who. A highlight is the rules-based games between the Toymaker and the Doctor.“Whenever my sisters wanted me to keep a secret, they would bribe me with games like the number—'I'll play you three games if you don't tell mom this.' So I love the way the the special interest of gaming comes into this episode.” —AngelaThe fourth special features both Tennant and new upcoming 14th Doctor Ncuti Gatwa together, made possible through Tennant's Doctor "bi-generating" instead of regenerating. This allows multiple Doctors' timelines to co-exist. The specials end with both the 10th and 14th Doctors having their own (newly wheelchair accessible) TARDISes.Overall, the hosts are overjoyed at Russell T Davies' Doctor Who return and his ability to honor the show's past while moving it inclusively into the future. They celebrate the possibilities opened for even more Doctors to potentially return through the established plot device of "bi-generation."Are you a Whovian?

*At the time of the recording, Angela and Matt used she/her pronouns for Hannah Gadsby based on the research materials for the episode (mainly: Hannah's memoir, stand-up specials, and a few interviews). We have since learned that Hannah's pronouns are they/them. TACP fully supports gender diversity and respecting people's pronouns. We apologize for the serious error we made and offer our sincerest apologies to Hannah and our listeners for our mistake and any harm it has caused. In this instance, we failed to live up to our mission of radical inclusivity. Please respect your own boundaries and triggers and listen with care.In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discuss the memoirs of two Autistic comedians: Hannah Gadsby from Tasmania and Fern Brady from Scotland.Angela highlights the many parallels between Hannah and Fern's lives—their struggles getting appropriately diagnosed, dealing with gender-based violence, sexual abuse, homophobia and ableism. Both found their way to comedy as a survival mechanism and ended up having great success, especially at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.A: So about 20 years before she was diagnosed…she read a description and she was like, ‘oh, that's totally me.' She knew it. But no matter what she did, she got diagnosed with everything else: bipolar, depression, schizophrenia—like you name it, she was diagnosed with literally everything else.M: Did she make eye contact and arrive in a car that she drove herself?A: Yeah. Also, she's pretty.M: Oh, there you go.The hosts discuss Hannah and Fern's issues with employment, homelessness, and disordered eating. They also touch on differences in meltdowns vs shutdowns and masking through comedy.“And so she goes back to living above the fruit and veg store, but stays in the relationship too long because she doesn't want to be homeless again or unhoused again. So that is—I think—a cycle that we see a lot.” —AngelaThey discuss a quote from Hannah Gadsby, in which they share about diffusing tension through comedy as a survival tactic from childhood mistreatment. The hosts praise both books as reclaiming the narrative and gaining self-understanding. They highly recommend reading the memoirs together and watching Hannah Gadsby's comedy specials.Do you relate to these Autistic comedians?
