The Ideal-ist: Introduction

from The Autistic Mile Hosted by Jim Gaffney

Hosted by Shane Gaffney as part of the Autistic Mile Podcast, this series explores the worlds of fictional characters, TV shows, movies, video games, and the ideas they inspire. Rather than simply reviewing media, The Ideal-ist uses stories as a springboard to discuss autistic psychology, experiences, and the unique perspectives that can come from an autistic way of thinking. Every character, every world, and every story becomes an opportunity to better understand why certain ideas resonate—and what they can reveal about the human experience. Whether you’re autistic, know someone who is, or simply enjoy thoughtful discussions about fiction and the themes behind it, you’re invited to join the conversation.
