    Come Back!!!!
    This is one of my favorite podcasts, and I’ve listened to all of the episodes more than once. The presenters are very fun to listen to and simultaneously knowledgeable and hilarious. Everything they talk about is relatable and they provide great insight into autistic daily life. I love this podcast, and I miss it dearly. Please consider making more episodes!

    So relatable
    I just heard about this podcast today & I’m glad that I did. I’m (mildly) autistic myself and I can relate so much to these hosts. If you want to learn more about autism, as well as those who have it, then you should check out this show!

    Tears of relief!!!
    I am recently diagnosed; I was born almost 58 years ago. My first friend- when I was 13. She liked my company because I had my nose in the dictionary all the time (partially trying to find words to express what I meant) and I guess I picked up fascinating tidbits and sifted our subtle patterns in structure and function that were endlessly intriguing to me. I was at boarding school; from the dictionary, I would teach myself Black Letter by extrapolating the rest of the alphabet from the eight characters depicted therein. This is supposed to be a review of your show. Looking back, any snippet of my life would be a study in consequences of various societal views and educational strategies. Looking ahead, my generation of “autists” are aging. Social consequences of letting us twist in the wind are grim. And PREVENTABLE. So many gifts lie: •unrecognized and unfulfilled, •in a multiplicity of sectors of any population. Your program is a ray of light into this Sisyphean sphere of struggle (it only turns from “struggle” to “TORMENT” when someone is Rushing you.) We need light; we need hope. We have gifts, all of us. We need support from those who can adapt prosthetic legs to let us go ahead and sprint and soar on the Olympian legs we were born with. The fly in the ointment THERE is that we have multiple pairs of cognitive legs; in Autism, one set may be “Average”, but if the other sets of legs are not 37%, but 99.9%.... Well, translate that to wheels, And consider tractor-trailers on the highway; how far would any truck make it with its wheels so mismatched? Can you imagine going through life that way? Will we be motivated only the unseemliness of letting a seventeen year-old back away from suicide to moulder in a psych hospital for half a decade... But not consider that same soul called “Sparks” and Miss Sunshine” by her dad, not consider that soul as valuable to society at age 57 and onwards? No job. No savings. But no future? Your podcast gave me hope. I am not alone. Whether making paper patterns for geometric solids or listing anomalies with homonyms and homophones, we are here and you have created for us a space with a stage for grace, dignity, raucous laughter, and HEARTWARMING blank stares. They are OK. Survivable. And so hysterically funny when Time is allowed for all our discombobulated elements to catch up with one another. You allow for that. Thank you. Sparks Bright Eyes Miss Sunshine. Aladumdum Peon Moron Pest Age 8, told: ”You suffer from verbal diarrhea.” “Put mind./.... in gear before engaging mouth.” Age 57, told: “You have charismatic loveliness.” Extremes can enrich us. You lead. You will have company. Perhaps Legions. Let us hope on, then. Thank you. Almost two years later.... I thought I’d sent this in already...... I shall do it now. What more perfect representation of ability and LACK OF IT might I have shown you?

    I Love listening!
    Just want to say how much I love podcast! The presenters are brilliant & make me ‘lol’ all the time! The guests are all very interesting too! My big brother has autism so I really enjoy listening and maybe getting a bit more insight into the non-neural typical mind which will hopefully help me to help him with having a happy life! Keep it up guys! Looking forward to the next episode! (I’m Listening from LA which is where I live but originally from Wales)
