Autism | Can't Sleep? Learn About the Autism Spectrum and Neurodiversity

from I Can’t Sleep · host Benjamin Boster

It’s the tail end of Autism Acceptance Month, and you’re still awake, so this feels like decent timing. This episode takes a calm, steady look at autism, what it is, how it’s understood today, and why the shift from awareness to acceptance actually matters. We’ll go through the basics of the autism spectrum, some commonly discussed traits, and how perspectives have changed over time. Nothing too heavy, nothing too technical, just enough to keep your mind gently occupied while the rest of you winds down. No whispering, no sudden changes, just a consistent, even delivery designed to help you fall asleep. Happy sleeping!
