S3 Ep66: Travel on the Spectrum

Traveling often means changes in our routines, unpredictable moments, new sights, new languages, and new sounds. While all of us are likely familiar with these challenges on some level, for autistic people, they can be especially tough.  In this episode, we’re exploring how the Autism spectrum impacts travel. We're joined by Jenni, a California based photographer who was formally diagnosed with Autism in adulthood, and Nicole, who owns a travel agency that specializes in travel for neurodiverse people. PSA: You'll notice that in parts of this episode person-first language is used. Jenni explained that she, and many others in the autistic community, feel that identify-first language is more inclusive. Please listen critically. Being able to identify person-first language is super important if we’re going to get better at correcting it.    --- Guests: Jenni Chapman - @aliandjenni @jennichapmanphotography https://www.aliandjenni.com Nicole Thibault SPECTRUM TRAVEL SOCIAL STORY VIDEOS http://www.magicalstorybooktravels.com/  RESOURCES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChSJaF8dq92kOsOBIWT8DCQ  Autismtravel.com https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/features/adults-living-with-autism-spectrum-disorder.html https://devonprice.medium.com/should-i-come-out-as-autistic-20859ff4304b AANE.org If you're a fan of the show, don't forget to subscribe, rate and review Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast!
