Send us a textWelcome to Season 2! We return to our very first subject, Autism Acceptance Month! Alas Marianne was busy and so Simon called upon regular co-host Kuro and best friend Watt to come and talk about autism acceptance and our own interpretation of this. We made mention of several previous episodes, including our Spoons bonus, the Metathoughts and obviously the very first episode we did. Our recording and editing quality has improved since that last one! Kuro also referenced the RAADS-R test, which is a popular tool that uses a self-report questionnaire to identify potential adult autistics who “escape diagnosis” due to a subclinical level presentation. It is also worth looking up the AQ-50 test if you are interested in methods of identifying behaviours and likely autism. As ever we thank you, our loyal listeners for sticking with us. We would love to hear from you and our Twitter is open @AtypicalThePod for messages and comments. Have a topic you would like us to cover, or do you fancy joining us for a natter, maybe tell us about your area of interest or expertise and share these things with everyone. We would also recommend our friend The Autistic Women for another great view on living with autism and our friends at the All Bets are Off podcast who cover addiction.
