In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast, hosts Dr. Angela Kingdon and Matt Lowry, LPP explore how Steve Jobs’ Autistic traits shaped Apple’s revolutionary success.
🎧 What You’ll Learn:

- Why his personal uniform of black turtlenecks and jeans embodies Autistic values of simplicity, comfort, and consistency.
- How his dislike of buttons and love of clean design align with Autistic sensory preferences.
- Why Jobs’ direct communication style was often misunderstood as narcissism, when it was actually clarity and problem-solving.
- How his practice of Zen Buddhism intersected with special interests in technology to spark ground-breaking creativity.
- The role of Autistic innovation in Apple’s most iconic contributions, from the buttonless mouse to the iPad.
- Why Apple’s “Think Different” campaign perfectly captures the Autistic spirit of misfits and world-changers.
