What is the purpose and history of Today’s Autistic Moment podcast?

Philip King-Lowe 0:00
Welcome everyone to the 100th show of today's Autistic Moment, a podcast for autistic adults by an autistic adult. My name is Philip King Lowe. I am the owner, producer, and host, and I am an autistic adult. Thank you so much for listening. Five years ago, the pilot was published. It was a new beginning in my own life and what I hoped would be the beginning of some real social changes for the autistic adult community. During the last five years, autistic adults and professionals who support autistic adults and the neurodiversity paradigm have joined me for amazing conversations. We have been addressing the stigma that autistic adults do not deserve. We have been discovering the tools we already have to do the work of self advocacy.
Philip King-Lowe 1:03
We have spoken about employments, aging, autistic women, self care, LGBTQIA plus people who are autistic. We have talked about racism and gender bias, impact the work for diversity, equity, and inclusion for people with disabilities. We have spoken about substance abuse and recovery. My guests and I have talked about caring for our sensory processing needs. We have been continually saying that autistic adults are individuals with amazing potential. Full of strength. Resilient. And the medical pathology that has ableism with microaggression to make billions of dollars in revenue for organizations to further marginalize us. This show is not just about celebrating all the work that today's autistic movement is doing.

This is a festival of the work that all people who care about autistics and so many autistic adults who are actively advocating and building up the autistic adult community, providing resources and supports to address our needs today. To lead us into a brighter future. So this one hundredth show is your party too. On this one hundredth show, I will be joined by five guests and sponsors to reflect on what today's autistic moment means for them. My guests are Darren Howard, doctor Devin Price, Matthew Lawrence, Sarah Swann, and AJ Lucaccio and Jessica Johns. In addition to the interviews, you will hear clips from fourteen shows so that you can see a small part of the journey that today's autistic moment is on to represent the intersectionality that makes up the autistic adult community.

So this show is broken into two parts. At the end of part one, there will be an intermission where you can relax with some great music for about eight minutes. Part two will start after the music has been played. Of course you are free to take a break from listening and come back and listen to part two later. There is a new theme song for today's autistic moment that you will hear at the beginning of each show. The song is entitled Today is Your Day.
