  1. Have You Been Misdiagnosed?

    As adults., many of us have received incorrect, or even correct, diagnostic labels, but with no diagnosis of the actual ASD. This applies even more to women on the spectrum. Pardon my "high" and tired voice here--I'm adjusting my bipolar meds.

  3. Autism: a Disability or a Difference?

  8. On the Subject of Asperger's--the Man, the Name, the Label, the Community

    Was Dr. Hans Asperger a Nazi? Simon Baron-Cohen says unfortunately yes: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05112-1 Also mentioned in this episode were DSM task-force doctor, Allen Frances, M.D., and his book: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/saving-normal Dr. Enrico Gnaulati and…

    In this episode, we'll explore what autistic women often do to feel safe in an NT world.
