  • System Redesign Handbook for a Humane Era

    System Redesign Handbook for a Humane Era
    Jan 20 2025

    Do you love systems?

    In this episode of the author interview series Danielle Richard, an autistic graphic designer, talks about her book about systems. Many autistics have an affinity for systems and are good at designing and using them.

    Danielle’s book, System Redesign Handbook for a Humane Era: Harnessing 12,000 Years of Knowledge to Edit Systems for Human Thriving delves into the importance of designing systems that give us control and autonomy.

    Danielle talks about how school systems can be more flexible and relevant for autistics. She even shares three “moonshot” ideas for a better world.

  • What I Mean When I Say I'm Autistic

    What I Mean When I Say I'm Autistic
    Jan 14 2025

    This is a special episode where you will hear the first fifteen minutes of Annie Kotowicz’s new book, What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic, Unpuzzling a Life on the Autism Spectrum. The book is available in both a text and audio version. Check the links below.

    Annie’s website: https://neurobeautiful.com/
    Book link: https://neurobeautiful.com/book/

    From Annie's website:

    This intimate and insightful mix of memoir and manifesto takes you inside an autistic mind, exploring the trials and triumphs of a life before and after diagnosis.

    How might it feel to be autistic? Why are autistic and non-autistic people so puzzling to one another? How does neuroscience explain the spectrum of autistic traits? And what could you discover about your own mind — neurotypical or neurodivergent — through learning about another?

    Written by an autistic author and narrated by an autistic actor, What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic offers help and hope to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the autism spectrum. It's a nuanced analysis of autistic thinking, an engaging guide to autistic thriving, and a beautiful celebration of autistic brains.

    Narrator: Meredith Aleigha Wells

Freakishly accurate

I don’t think I’ve ever actually found something that shows my brain so well. This is…so accurate for me that it is almost scary, yet calming. Idk how to explain. It’s like that’s how my brain is used to things, so I’ve just naturally taught myself to tune it out. So as soon as it started, I almost immediately began to tune it out to the point of being oblivious to the world. Like it’s an extreme tune out that keeps me from being able to focus on anything, because if I allow myself to actually relax enough to focus on that one thing, then I accidentally let everything in, and then it is way too much.
I made myself put my wall down and listen to the podcast and I immediately saw that this is my brain, 1001%. Even as I type this, I’m hearing so many noises and my brain is having so many conversations with no one even here other than my husband storing in the other room!

Reassuring

I have difficulty with this too. It's quite relieving to have a "how to ask"guide.

Thoughtful and helpful.

I appreciate their understanding and clear explanation. They also clearly note when they are expressing their views as opposed to licensed medical advice.

Finally found somebody that gets me!!

Most people don't come with an instruction manual. Apparently I do!!!!! I truly can't express enough how much this podcast has helped me. 46 years of being called weird, quirky, crazy, different, etc. 46 years of not knowing. I truly appreciate every episode of this podcast!
