Ep 15: Things I Love About Being Autistic

This episode topic actually came in as a listener request and I thought it was a great idea! So often we can get hung up on the struggles that can come with being on the spectrum that we forget about all the ways that ASD makes us and our lives better. What are your thoughts on this? Do you have some *favorite* ASD traits? Would you change your neurotype if you could? Let me know!  If you enjoy the pod and want more content, or just want to get in touch, find me on IG @oh.thatsjustmyautism or shoot me an email me at ohthatsjustmyautism@gmail.com :-)

Ep 14: Self Diagnosis vs. Formal Diagnosis

Today I want to discuss self-diagnosis of Autism vs. obtaining a formal diagnosis, and why I’ve chosen to go with the latter. PS. Both ways are valid! The organization I’m going through for my assessment is a non-profit by the name of GRASP and their website is grasp.org. They offer reasonably priced assessments (compared to others) and they also have a sliding scale fee option for lower income individuals.  If you enjoy the pod and want more content, or just want to get in touch, find me on IG @oh.thatsjustmyautism or shoot me an email me at ohthatsjustmyautism@gmail.com :-)

Ep 13: Shutdowns and Coming to Terms With Some of My Sensory Limitations

Our trip to Universal Studios finally happened yesterday and oh boy, did I ever go into a big fat shutdown today on our drive home. Ugh. Also realizing what I thought was anxiety all these years may at some moments actually be sensory overstimulation.
