Description

In the podcast "Femme on the Spectrum," Elizabeth dives into issues ranging from abuse recognition to the value of autistic integrity. She discusses 'flying monkeys,' enablers of abuse, explaining how understanding this dynamic can help individuals set boundaries and protect their truths. Elizabeth then talks about the social struggles autistic people face due to their literal interpretation of information, highlighting this trait as their superpower. The host also touches on secondary victimization and the societal pressures that often blame victims for not 'moving on' fast enough from their abuse. Finally, Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries in stressful familial situations, underscored by her personal decision to prioritize her mental health. She concludes by encouraging autistic individuals not to compromise their commitment to truth despite societal pressure to conform.
