Aradia and Cheryl talk about some of their least-favorite myths and phrases that they’ve experienced as autistic people. These harmful myths can support stereotypes that force us to mask harder, so unpacking the language that we use is a vital part of the work of unmasking.Work with us by scheduling at the links below:Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: https://www.discoverclarity.ca  Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.comFollow us on social media:Podcast: Autistic Stuff For Autistic People Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: AutisticJoy Patrice: AutisticPresenceMatthew: #ActuallyAutistic CoachTheme music: Vinyl Couch - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media productionCheck out other FARM podcastsUsed2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  

Aradia, Cheryl, and Mati talk about “special interests.” What makes a special interest different from a hobby, why do some autistic people feel excluded by the term, and how can we talk about the sensation that lies underneath the words?Work with us by scheduling at the links below:Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: https://www.discoverclarity.ca  Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.comFollow us on social media:Podcast: Autistic Stuff For Autistic People Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: AutisticJoy Patrice: AutisticPresenceMatthew: #ActuallyAutistic CoachTheme music: Vinyl Couch - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media productionCheck out other FARM podcastsBlack Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene Used2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  

Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about their sensory experiences, specifically how to identify and experience joy through the senses. We talk about the differences and contradictions between being sensory avoidant vs sensory seeking, reclaiming our senses, finding agency in managing sensory experiences, and acknowledging the unsung joy of sheer relief. Work with us by scheduling at the links below:Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: https://www.discoverclarity.ca  Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.comFollow us on social media:Podcast: Autistic Stuff For Autistic People Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: AutisticJoy Patrice: AutisticPresenceMatthew: #ActuallyAutistic CoachTheme music: Vinyl Couch - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media productionCheck out other FARM podcastsBlack Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene Used2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  

Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about their experiences dealing with and/or avoiding the world of medicine as autistic non-men. From not knowing what help is accessible to falling through the cracks to finding our ancestral anger at generations of mistreatment, we hope this conversation helps other autistic people recognize that these struggles are common and systemic.  

Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about the many different kinds of community that humans experience. Some are harmful, some are helpful, some last for a long time or a short time, others can be found online or in nature. As autistic humans we often struggle to find communities that work for us, but it is a quest we all have to engage in some way.

Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about meltdowns. What they are, what they aren’t, different ways they can be triggered, various ways they can be expressed, and strategies to help our nervous systems recover in the aftermath.VIA Test: https://www.viacharacter.orgNVC needs & feelings list: https://www.sociocracyforall.org/nvc-feelings-and-needs-list Work with us by scheduling at the links below:Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: https://cherylrettig.ca Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.comTheme music: Vinyl Couch - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media productionCheck out other FARM podcastsBlack Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene Used2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  

Aradia, Cheryl, Patrice, and Matthew talk about the current state of the conversation around Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria in the online autistic community. Real rejection isn’t the same thing, and that nuance often gets lost, so we’re here to talk about the different flavors of rejection and ways that we can interrupt or redirect the RSD spirals when they do actually occur. Better on Mute by Sophie Powers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWf6hAYV87Q Work with us by scheduling at the links below:Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: https://cherylrettig.ca Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.comTheme music: Vinyl Couch - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media productionCheck out other FARM podcastsBlack Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene Used2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  

Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about the current state of the conversation around ASD functioning labels in the autistic community that we are witnessing. We talk about dynamic disability, fluctuating needs, internal vs external experiences of being autistic, the challenges of needing language that is accurate and without judgement, and the grief of having our needs overlooked. Work with us by scheduling at the links below:Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: https://cherylrettig.ca Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.comTheme music: Vinyl Couch - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media productionCheck out other FARM podcastsBlack Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene Used2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  

Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about the experience of growing up as undiagnosed autistic women, and the ways in which that has informed how we negotiate life. We touch on generations of missed girls, hobbies that were palatable, accessing anger, masking in the transition into adulthood, what defines a standard, shame, empathy, and so much more.Work with us by scheduling at the links below:Aradia: [coming soon]Cheryl: https://cherylrettig.ca Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.comTheme music: Vinyl Couch - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media productionCheck out other FARM podcastsBlack Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene Used2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast
