We will definitely cover it at some point, even if isn't chosen this time - it was definitely a struggle and I wish I'd known I was autistic at the time!

I'm Autistic, Now What

I would love to hear your experience with pregnancy/labor/postpartum! I feel like I struggled in ways I didn’t expect/others didn’t.

I'm quite interested in the "autistic vs introverted" school experience idea, being undiagnosed until long after my school (and university) daze ended. Cheers!

I feel you too Katharina! I'm a PDAer with 2 pda children (5 and 3). I highly recommend a support worker that is full of energy, and genuinely positive and upbeat to look after your kids if that's possible so you can have the occasional "break/rest". Or a family member/friends that are not a parent and has high energy. I've also recently discovered that if life is a literal upbeat-ish musical my kids seem to like it and actually listen (like me singing "I'm brushing my teeth now, tsch tsch tsch, let's brush our teeth now"). Also found racing my kids works well (like I'm going to take my shirt off first and start going through the motions slowly). Otherwise, I'm sure you're already doing it, but only demand things that your kids have to do (like sleep, eat and drink) so everyone is at least happy some part of the day when all the other demands are gone. For instance my kids only like to bathe after a mud party. Part of it is lowering our own made up societal standards we uphold to realistically achievable ones. It's really hard but I'm sure you are already doing your best. Get the ear loops and/or noise cancelling Headphones. I would recommend prioritising yourself over everyone including your children. Happyish parent = happy children 😅

I'm Autistic, Now What

ok, I SWEAR, that is the last time I bring up Bad Blood ft. Kendrick Lamar... 👀

Ben Rice

You know how some podcasts and shows have an opening song. I think that you guys should play the entirety of Bad Blood ft. Kendrick Lamar...

Ben Rice

If only they could times 2 speed talking and editing

One day it'll be on the poll 🗑️🐔

I'm Autistic, Now What

I wonder whether you’d mind to share about your childhood and upbringing as a PDA child? I’m a PDA Mom to a PDA daughter (4) and a probably PDA son (1 1/2) and I really struggle on how to be a good enough mother to them.. I’d love to know what helped you most and what where the things that make you say your mom really helped you and was a great mom to a PDA child🤍 it would mean so much to me, because I’m really suffering thinking about this all day every day🤍

Katharina

OMG that is amazing! 😆 See the episode writes itself 🤣🤣🤣

Glen Rose

It's Australian slang for the ibis bird. Mostly because in major cities they often are eating out of bins 😳

Glen Rose

All of the above!

Autistic AF (Mike)

Where there's a quiz and a chance to learn how other people's cognition works, it's gotta be done.
