Oh, That’s Just My Autism

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. To find Onda Spectrum go to your local (Australian) drag bar, or just give her a follow on IG @ondaspectrumphd.

How are school and work and life going?? Some parts are going great, other parts are hitting the fan. To sum it up, I'm busy but happy, stressed to the max but finding time for gratitude, and (most importantly) avoiding the break room at all costs. Sometimes self care looks like eating in your car all alone.

In this engaging conversation, Livia Sara, an ED recovery coach and author, shares her personal journey through eating disorders and autism. She discusses how understanding her neurodivergence aided her recovery and now empowers others. Livia highlights the challenges of meal prep in neurodivergent families and emphasizes simple recipes that promote nourishment. She also addresses the duality of labels like autism and ADHD, revealing their impact on identity. Listeners can look forward to her insights on empathy and the importance of lived experiences.

Boundaries are often discussed in terms of relationships with others, but what about learning to set boundaries with yourself? Sometimes we can put more pressure on ourselves than anyone else does. Learning to say no to yourself is just as hard - but just as important - as learning to say no to others.

When does self-preservation become selfish? How much ignorance is too much when your mental health and well-being are at stake? And how does being autistic play in to my inability to cope with the injustices of the world?

Today I welcome George from Unpacking Neuroqueerness where we will be discussing the good, the bad, and all the in-between when it comes to the show The Big Bang Theory. George and I are both big fans of the show, and both heavily relate to the Sheldon character, but also realize that there are many problematic aspects when it comes to TBBT. Here we will be breaking it all down and talking about it. Enjoy!

Am I “easygoing”…or just a gigantic, people-pleasing pushover? A recent encounter with a bully-ish coworker has me thinking about all the ways I haven’t stood up for myself in the past. I discuss how I think this is related in many ways to being autistic and how I’m trying to find my footing when it comes to standing up for myself.
