New episode! Listen here on Spotify. I know it's intermittent, but pregnancy, coursework and life don't respect a podcasting schedule.

"News article headline reads: 'Chris Packham says autism does not need a cure: ‘We are not broken’.' Subheading explains that Packham opposes curing autism, responding to US Health Secretary RFK Jr’s pledge to find its causes. The article is by Lauren Del Fabbro, published May 12 and updated May 13. Below is a photo of Chris Packham wearing a camouflage jacket, bright red zip-up top, and colourful checked scarf, standing in front of a blurred architectural background."

A bright yellow road sign with the text “No eye contact at any time.” The image humorously represents a common autistic or neurodivergent experience of discomfort with eye contact.

Two people stand in a music performance setting. The person in the foreground smiles and is captioned, “me thinking it’s normal to Listen on Spotify to the same song 272 times.” Behind them stands a shadowy figure with a mask labelled “autism,” suggesting the behaviour is connected to autistic traits like repetition and routine.

A chaotic battle scene inspired by the video game DOOM. A powerful armored character labelled “HIGH MASKING AUTISM” fights off many enemies, each labelled with life tasks like “Managing depression,” “Household chores,” “Being a loving, supportive parent,” “40h workweek,” “Personal hygiene,” “Managing family budget,” and “Maintaining relationships.” The image shows the effort required to function while masking.

Two cartoon characters stand in front of tall platforms with ladders. The left character is labelled “Allistic” and has a full ladder, making it easy to climb. The right character is labelled “Autistic” and has only a partial ladder, making it impossible to climb. The allistic character says, “Don’t be lazy, just do it,” highlighting the lack of understanding of different challenges.

A meme from the show Pawn Stars. One character says, “Me: Can I be normal,” and the other replies, “God: The best I can do is give you autism, ADHD and depression.”
