Navigating Life as an Autistic Woman

In this week's episode, we pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to be an autistic woman. We talk about why so many of us are missed or misdiagnosed (the “lost girls”), and how bullying, media stereotypes, and sexism shape our lives. We get personal about the exhaustion of masking, the need for social safe words, and why self-care is survival.

We also push back against the fetishization of autistic traits and a system that often fails us. This is a raw conversation about finding our voices, our community, and a path to acceptance on our own terms.
