Podcasts about special interests

On this episode of the Allyship in Action podcast, Julie Kratz is joined by Dr. Angela Kingdon, Autistic Advocate and host of The Autistic Culture Podcast. Dr. Kingdon shares how life can throw you a curveball – like finding out you're autistic at 39! Angela's journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and the importance of understanding neurodiversity. She's not just talking about labels; she's talking about culture, empathy, and making room for everyone's unique "weirdness." And let's be honest, who isn't a little weird in their own special way? It's about celebrating those differences. Here are the key themes explored on this episode: The Double Empathy Problem: It's not that autistic people lack empathy; it's that neurotypical and autistic individuals operate within different cultural frameworks. Understanding this cultural difference is key to bridging communication gaps. It's like learning the shower habits of your mother-in-law – it's about cultural awareness, not judgment. Rebranding Autism: The outdated "Rain Man" stereotype has done a disservice to the autistic community. It's time to shift the narrative and recognize the diverse spectrum of autistic experiences. It's time to throw out the old script and write a new one, where everyone gets a starring role. Support Needs vs. Labels: Focusing on individual support needs rather than rigid labels fosters a more inclusive and understanding environment. It's not about "how bad" someone's autism is; it's about "what do they need right now?" It's like asking for a ride when you break your ankle – it's about practical support, not categorization. Self-Advocacy and Accommodations: Understanding your sensory profile and advocating for your needs is crucial for autistic individuals. Small accommodations, like moving water bottles or adjusting lighting, can make a significant difference. It's about knowing your "meat body" and making the world a little more comfortable, one adjustment at a time. Special Interests and Connection: Asking about someone's special interests is a powerful way to connect with autistic individuals. It's like unlocking a treasure trove of passion and knowledge. It's about finding common ground in the things that light us up, whether it's wreck-it Ralph or German tanks. Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Start practicing "spin bonding." Instead of asking "how are you?" which can be challenging for autistic individuals, ask about their special interests. "What are you researching right now?" or "Tell me about your hobbies" are great conversation starters. This simple shift can foster deeper connections and create a more inclusive environment. Quotes: "Autism needs a better PR department like we have some messaging problems."  "It's a double empathy problem. Not autistic people don't have empathy, so we have plenty of empathy. We might even have more than you. We have to understand and respect each other's cultures enough to know this person has empathy. Just looks different than mine."  "Just making room for more differences. Makes the world just. More magical, like so many surprise."  "If a label makes you happy you should use it."  Find Dr. Angela Kingdon at http://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/ and find Julie Kratz at https://www.nextpivotpoint.com/

An episode that hyperfixates on SPINS!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * In this episode, we dive into autistic special interests (SPINS) and the joy they bring us.* Our hosts start off by talking about how fiction can be an escape for autistic individuals from challenging childhoods.* Matt and Angela dive into their first SPINS—Frankenstein and Star Wars for Matt, and Bob Geldof and philanthropy for Angela.* We talk about director's cuts of movies and the autistic tendency to look up films on Wikipedia or IMDb while watching.* Additionally, we dive into Angela's SPIN for the band Crowded House and explore how touring for a band can radiate autistic energy.* We then discuss how the early internet was super autistic and how it helped us find our people to hyperfixate on our SPINS with.* ABA culture suggests we can only have our special interests if we're "good" and earn them, but that's not true. Our special interests are a natural part of who we are and shouldn't have to be earned or justified.* We talk about having a career built around special interests and how This Is The Way for autistic people.* Our special interests help us enter flow states, where we become deeply focused and productive, unlocking creativity and success.* Finally, we discuss how autistic SPINS can foster deep, meaningful connections, creating beautiful mutual friendships where shared passions and understanding strengthen bonds.“[My special interests] were the things that got me through it. I identified more with the fictional world than the real one because friends, family, and fictional characters.” - Matt“Now, why would you wait and watch the whole movie while instead, you could be looking things up on IMDb or Wikipedia and making your own director's cut in your mind?” - Angela“We train our children young. You must train your children in your special interests to increase emotional regulation through special interests. The children we love most accept our special interests as their own. These are the rules.” - Angela“Back in the day, the Internet was limited to the people who were really, really autistic as hell. Because you were like, ‘I absolutely need to talk about Star Wars with somebody. I will find people to talk about Transformers with, all this. And you found your people.” - Matt“We cannot enter a flow state through coercion. We cannot enter a flow state when people say, ‘hey, read this thing'. We cannot squeeze this into our head - partially because of PDA, partially because we just can't do it because that's not how our brains work. But if we have some sort of breadcrumb that gets us interested, we will go all the way and learn everything there is to know about it.” - Matt“When you find the thing that really, really comes together for you, you just kind of fall into it and that becomes your thing.” - Matt“It feels like unlocking a secret code when you meet somebody and you're able to mutually info dump about the thing that you're really passionate about, because you just hype each other up. And it is a type of relationship that I don't think neurotypicals understand.” - MattDid you enjoy this episode? We explored the power of autistic special interests (SPINS) and how they shape our lives, from hyperfocus to creating mutual friendships.

On this episode of Life Bytes with Wendy Wild, I sit down with my friend and fellow radio personality, Kiana from the legendary Z100 New York! We first met longer ago than I even realized, and in this conversation, we connect over our spicy brains, deep-dive special interests, and our shared love for radio. Plus, we talk about the adventures of being new homeowners and the unexpected challenges that come with it.

Today I'm joined by Teddy Pierce, author of Dethrone Davos: Save America, to discuss the shocking waste, fraud, and abuse that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been uncovering. From reckless spending to blatant money laundering, we're breaking down how our government has been misusing our hard-earned tax dollars—and why this corruption must be stopped. Transparency and accountability aren't just buzzwords; they're essential for restoring actual integrity to our system. Tune in as we expose what's really going on behind the scenes and why this fight matters for all of us.—Buy Teddy's book, Dethrone Davos: https://www.amazon.com/Dethrone-Davos-America-Theodore-Pierce-ebook/dp/B0D5NKGGNC—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/collections/all

In this engaging conversation, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the themes of self-care, stress management, and the psychology behind collecting and purchasing items. They share personal experiences with financial management and the impact of obsessions on their lives, particularly in relation to their neurodivergent experiences. They explore the themes of nostalgia, how childhood experiences shape adult behaviours, the impact of having disposable income on purchasing habits, and the connection to one's inner child. The dialogue highlights the complexities of interests and obsessions, emphasizing the emotional satisfaction derived from indulging in passions and the societal influences that drive consumer behaviour.

Navigating a world packed with all sorts of seemingly mismatched sensations, either overstimulating or understimulating, and having passionate interests that can appear as all-consuming to others, can be challenging and greatly impact the way we build relationships and even just get through the day.In this flashback episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Megan Anna Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, talk about the nuances and misconceptions surrounding special interests and sensory experiences for Autistic people.Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:Learn about the role of special interests in fostering connections for Autistic individuals, and how personal sensory nuances impact relationships with oneself and the world around them.Gain insights into how to create more inclusive autism assessments that acknowledge the diverse experiences of Autistic individuals, including behaviors, sensory experiences, or interests that might be more stereotypically associated with allistic individuals.Understand the different sensory systems and explore the broad spectrum of sensory experiences that influence everything from social interactions and relationships to meeting basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter.Think about how we all experience the world differently and why it's important to make space for those differences so that we can honor who we are and have more compassion for one another.Resources:For this conversation, we are using Is This Autism By Donna Hendreson, Sarah Wayland, and Jamell White.

There have been a lot of very thoughtful critiques of the DSM in the last several years, and more specifically, how autism is presented in the DSM is very deficit-based. So, we are not in alignment with that view, but we did use that as a framework to walk through our experience of autism and to unpack the many ways that those criteria could show up in a person. The reason we chose to do this is that we believe in the power of transparency and demystifying the process of diagnosis, which has historically been very obscure and hard to understand. And so this is our effort for those who perhaps are interested in pursuing a diagnosis or who have gone through the process and want to understand it better. This is our attempt to help demystify that experience. It is not our endorsement of the DSM.

Jessica shares insights from her extensive experience in immigration policy, including her work with the U.S. Foreign Service and the Department of Justice.Key topics include:•Mass Immigration and Labour Distortions: How unchecked immigration policies, including the exploitation of the H-1B visa program, have led to wage suppression and job displacement in the tech industry, often benefiting large staffing firms over local talent.•Special Interests and Policy Manipulation: Jessica explores how special interest groups and influential politicians, such as Senator Ted Kennedy, shaped immigration laws to favour employers and low-cost labour rather than the public interest.•Border Security and Enforcement: The discussion highlights the effectiveness of border enforcement policies and the consequences of weak enforcement under the Biden administration, including the rise in illegal crossings and human trafficking concerns.•The Impact of Sanctuary Cities: Jessica explains how sanctuary policies can unintentionally protect criminal activity, leading to public safety concerns while compromising law enforcement efforts.•Birth Rates vs. Immigration: Jessica challenges the notion that mass immigration can offset declining birth rates, emphasizing the financial strains imposed on social welfare systems by poorly regulated immigration policies.Support the showVisit my NEW Website! https://www.christopherbalkaran.comCheck out my Instagram/Tik Tok for daily posts: Instagram @openmindspodTiktok @openmindspodcast

This week on the pod we chat with Marie Masse (pronounced ‘moss') about special interests and creativity. Marie is part of our little ND Woman Pod team, and she has been the creative genius behind pretty much everything except the actual episodes themselves, so if you follow us on socials, or you've checked out our website, or you've downloaded one of our gorgeous PDF episode articles, you've definitely seen her work!   Marie is a late-identified 2e AuDHDer with two neurodivergent kids, navigating life with OCD and chronic health conditions —mostly from her creative sanctuary: a little cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the USA. During a period of trauma and burnout, Marie lost access to her most sacred interest—her creative process—but has since reclaimed it, proving that healing and recovery are possible. Since 2013, she has crafted over 300 creations—articles, digital tools, guides, books, podcast episodes, and transformative programs centred around story work. Her creations invite others to stay awake to the tiny stories that shape their lives and use them as opportunities to heal, thrive, and live fully expressed.   On this episode we cover:  How Marie thinks about neurodivergence and her path to discovering her own neurodivergence. How ‘special interests' manifest for Marie. The difference between Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD special interests. The centrality of special interests as an ‘organising force' for autistic folk. Marie's experience of losing access to her creative process (her special interest). The difference between living a ‘balanced' life for neurotypicals, versus what ‘balance' can look like for neurodivergent people. Marie's experience of her special interests in childhood. How the internet has made interests and interest-based connections more accessible for neurodivergent folk. Neurotypical special interests. Marie explains ‘story work'.     You can find Marie's work through her website – www.dangerouslygoodstories.com – on Instagram @dangerouslygoodstories and @myneurodivergentjoy, or through her Substack (Live Like You Mean It).   Want polished copies of our episodes in beautiful and readable pdf article format?
