This episode originally aired on April 9, 2024 under the title “Taylor Swift is Autistic.”

“That's what they do to autistic people: They hate us and have opinions about us loudly.”

“We are pointing out autistic culture as it is seen in the wild, just like we might point out cannolis, whether they were made by Italians or not.” “It's almost as if that's the point of the Autistic Culture Podcast.”

“She represents Autistic culture, and as the PR department, if we are not like waving the flag— ‘The biggest star in the world is from Autistica!’ Yeah, like, we have to celebrate this. There is so much to celebrate.”

This episode originally aired on December 13, 2022 under the title “Peanuts is Autistic.”

“Our relationships are based on the three F's. Friends, family, and fictional characters.”

“He was a very big proponent of gay rights because one of his best friends is Billie Jean King and Peppermint Patty is directly based on her.”

“The entire world seems incredibly chaotic to us. And we need this structure and we need this routine in order to be happy, in order to be healthy, in order to be productive. And it seems like Charles Schultz really, really leaned into this because that is what helped him be who he was.”

“This is so pathologizing and so incorrect because we, These are the things that give us life. These are the things that bring us joy.”

“He said, ‘that's what life was about to me.’ He didn't say ‘that's what I liked.’ He didn't say ‘that's what I loved.’ He said, 'that's what life was about.”

This episode originally aired on November 7, 2022 under the title “Poetry is Autistic.”

“That seems largely like Autistic torture, because leaving the sanctity of a well-stocked library to go make small talk…” “Yeah, literally.” “Oh, my God.”

“Due to the monotropic mindset, when we find something that is appealing, we have to dive deeply and fully into it…whatever it is that feeds this passion for us. If we are in the zone, we are healing.”

“And can you imagine, like, the social anxiety? All you want to do is read. You're in the middle of a great book and you have to go see some fake ass people and smile and drink tea.”

“This is a thing that I don't understand about neurotypical culture, because it's based largely on colonialism, white supremacy, puritanism, and all this stuff. There's this element of, ‘Have you tried just suffering?’”

Do you write poetry? Are you an Autistic rebel? How do you relate to Emily?
