AUTISM with Ian Lynam

What's it like to learn pole as an autistic person, and how can classes be more welcoming and fun for all flavours of neurodiversity?Comedian, writer-performer and pole dancer Ian Lynam talks neurodiversity, comedy and masculinity in an episode we recorded just before the premiere of his solo show "Autistic License" at Dublin Fringe Festival! We talk about the mental health benefits of pole dancing and escaping the rigid definitions of how men are expected to dress and behave, before we get distracted by going on a massive nerdy tangent about pole dancing and comedy (which happens: immediately.)You can find Ian on Instagram at @ian_lynam and Twitter @quixoticclown - keep an eye out for future performances of Autistic License near you. Pole the Other One! is produced and hosted by Siân Docksey, with original music by Amelia Bayler.
