-Patische's own experiences as an autistic adult in the work force

On this episode, Stacy and Torrin are joined by Chantelle Hyde, an anti-restraint advocate and mother of an autistic daughter.
Chantelle is the Lead Canadian Volunteer with Alliance Against Seclusion & Restraint, an organization whose mission is to raise awareness and ultimately end the use of punitive measures against neurodivergent children, such as forced restraint and prolonged seclusion.

On this week's (very late) episode, Stacy and Torrin talk about autism.
Yes, that's what we do every episode, but today, we discussed the shame and fear people when talking about autism. Often, parents and family members are hesitant to revive their child's autism diagnosis, even if doing so would help everyone involved.
We got to the root of the problem. Why are people ashamed and hesitant? How can we fix that?

You've heard the line before. So and so with autism has a mental age of 2 or 4 or 6 years old. But what is mental age?
On this week's episode, Stacy and Torrin discuss mental age and why it may not be an accurate descriptor of an autistic child's support needs. Hell, it might not even exist at all...

Y'all read the title.
This week, Stacy and Torrin discussed the issues with situations were are commonly referred to as "inclusive" but are often times not at all. In many of these cases, autistic children either experience exclusion with extra steps or are being forced to conform for the benefit of others.
Obviously, these situations are not good for a child's mental health...

This week, Stacy and Torrin have some fun discussing a fake disorder known as Virtual Autism.
Basically, some doctor in Romania constructed a theory, backed up by zero scientific research, that screen time was giving toddlers autism-like symptoms.
While the idea of Virtual Autism is BS, the potential for grifters to prey on vulnerable parents is a ligament concern.

As you have probably noticed, there hasn't been an upload in a little while. Sorry about that...
You see, Stacy has had some major life changes recently. As for Torrin, after over a decade of ignoring his physical and mental health, their rotted corpses have come crashing through the door like a zombie Kool-Aid Man. This forced him to make some changes...
But don't worry! They'll be back soon with a ton of new content and maybe even some upgrades to your listening (and visual experience).
See you soon.

You're a hard-working autism parent. You do your best to plan every detail of your child's life in order to avoid meltdowns and burnout. Yet, both of those things still happen.
The problem is, autism doesn't run on a schedule, and sometimes, you need to be flexible. In this week's episode, Stacy and Torrin discuss what you can do when autism decides to run on its own schedule.

On this week's episode of Shifting The Narrative On Everything Autism, Torrin and Stacy were joined by autistic advocate and podcaster, Toni Borneo. Toni was diagnosed late, (at 40, hence the name of her podcast Autistic at 40). She went through a lot: childhood trauma, heavy masking, autistic burnout, and more. Like many undiagnosed autistic people, she was forced to rely on her academic gifts and keen eye in order to power through a total lack of supports. Now, she podcasts about her experiences, and is currently writing a memoir on the same topic. This was a great episode, which left me speechless at times.

Much is said about autistic children and their needs for different types of supports in order to thrive. Often, however, we forget about these support needs once an autistic child becomes an autistic teen or an autistic adult. In this episode, part 2-of-2, Stacy and Torrin talk about what supports for autistic teens look like and why they are still vital for older autistics to live their best lives.***
