Autistic adults age differently because of our unique neurology. Our bodies and brains have challenges such as communicating our needs to others more challenging. As we age, our needs for medical help as well as our daily self care increases. However the information as to what to understand as we age, and how to communicate our needs to medical professionals is more difficult. Dr. Theresa Regan joins me to talk about Aging Autistic Adults: What We Needed Yesterday. Thank you for listening to Today's Autistic Moment: A Podcast for Autistic Adults by An Autistic Adult.

While great strides for people with disabilities have been made through the Americans with Disabilities Act, and research have brought great advances for autistic adults: there remains one common stigma: Ableism. Ableism often comes in the form of micro-aggression and/or very good intentions. Sue Swenson joins me to talk about ableism in terms of human rights and respect for the dignity of disabled individuals.
