Why are so Many Pro-natalists Autistic? (with Simone Collins)

Update: 2025-12-14

Description

This podcast is about the intersection of autism (ASD 1) and Christianity, covering ten years of ethnographic research covering over 26000 autistic Christians and ex-Christians. In this episode, I spoke with Simone Collins from the Based Camp podcast about the newest incarnation of the pro-natalist movement and the autistics who participate in it.
