Today’s Autistic Moment: A Podcast for Autistic Adults by An Autistic Adult · Autistic Queer Leadership · 8 Jun 2025 podcast

When

I have my life together.

Like that there's this magical like summit that we're gonna reach where everyone's like your executive function's working great and like everything's okay and like nothing's a mess.

And that that's when I'll show up and I'll do the work because I can't possibly do the work until I get to that place.

And

This is where I'm very, very committed to being authentic in my existence.

Um, 'cause I've had that for a long time too.

And then I realized that um there was no magic summit.

I was never gonna have it all together.

I'm always gonna be semi feral and a hidden mess behind closed doors.

And

I can be a mess and still make change.

I can be a mess and still be a leader and

like really recognizing that in that interdependence we all have different capacity for leadership.

Um like my leadership really looks like going to the Capitol and testifying at hearings and speaking at rallies and organizing and writing laws, but

I am dependent on other people and their abilities.

Like I'm a horrible data person.

I'm so bad at finding data and putting it into talking points.

I'm even worse at analyzing data that's just a bunch of numbers.

Um, so like I really rely on a lot of um autistic advocates to help me with those things to really bring them to the table.
