Lewis and I are responding to more autism-related Am I the Asshole posts this time! We also discuss a 'bin meal', pineapple on pizza (and pineapples left unattended overnight?), and eating food you found on the floor.
And we found the yoghurts!!!! They suddenly appeared in the fridge 👀 Must've been listening...

We're getting the autistic AND neurotypical perspective on some AiTA posts this time! One guy wonders if he's fetishizing his autistic girlfriend. Another doesn't want to risk having kids with his autistic partner's genetic material.
Plus an update on our living situation and landlord woes 🏚️
Another one of these to come shortly! 💛

How should PE be adapted for autistic people? Are pets too demanding? & more!
Thank you so so much for continuing to support me here! I'm so grateful to you. Lots of exciting things to come (well, hopefully you'll find them exciting!)
If your question/problem wasn't chosen, don't worry - I'm going to film another soon!

I usually post these for the pathologically kind tier only, but accidentally made it available to all paid members because I was tired lol. But I'll keep it up for everyone now 😂💛 Enjoy!!

I thought I’d break up the two upcoming book review videos with an exclusive AiTA (which came in second place on the lost poll!) 💛 Some of you were keen for more of the usual reaction stuff!
Do you think you owe your family members a diagnosis (or at least researching autism in order to help yourself?) and are you obligated to tell your partner if you do have a diagnosis? Do you think it’s okay to keep that secret?
When editing this I became increasing uncomfortable wit...
An incredibly talented Patreon Snail and graphic designer made this inspired by one of the best hate comments I've received so far!

SURPRISE!! We're Taylor Swifting you with a double podcast!! Make sure you've heard episode 6 first (well, do want you want, but it'll make more sense 😂)
We're focusing on the 'joys' of high school this time!
We discuss learning to speak toddler French, the big students' revolt at Lewis' high school, eating off-menu pasta & cheese, bullying, and not understanding that you actually have to talk to people if you want to make friends...
Thanks for listening! (If anyone k...

Part two of going through our school experiences! If you missed part one, you can find all of the episodes in the 'Collection' on Patreon.
I cried laughing at Lewis' magic trick story, but the secondhand embarrassment HURTS 😂
A lot of this feels super personal, but I know you're all lovely here. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable 💛

School toilets, jam doughnuts, and being 'gift & talented'.

& Happy Mother's Day to all of the UK mothers on here! 💛
P.S. IT SHOULD SAY 'MOMENTS' NOT 'MOMENT' but Patreon won't let me edit it now 😆 'Moment' sounds very short!

We're going to record and post 2 podcast episodes this week! One will be how our school experiences differed (autistic vs allistic), and I'll post a poll for the second.
Are there any topics you'd like to see on the poll? 💛

Is it ever too late for autistic people to be in relationships? Are autistic people better of with other autistic people?
We're answering patron submitted questions!
We answered more on the main channel too!: https://youtu.be/brWDSYs-bLA
The podcast episode about our differing school experiences is coming soon!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!! (I don't if anyone is excited enough about this for all caps, but I'm doing it anyway).
After a delay due to a cough that just refused to go, we have episode 4 of the podcast! Episode 5 will be coming in the next few days, so don't worry, you won't be waiting another full month! 💛
No Becky's were harmed in the making of this podcast...

The moment you've all been waiting for (maybe).... reacting to the weirdest stock footage I've found while editing! I've been collecting it for a year now 😅
Do you fear the syringe? Do you like Fanny Piggy's trendy jacket?
This month's video will be reviewing Orion Kelly's book and I'll post a new poll soon to select the next one 💛

It'll be about how Lewis felt about my diagnosis - hopefully it'll be a good discussion (when I'm not snotty yay!)

And they're off!! UK snails should start arriving shortly, if they haven't already! 💛 For the UK, it's 2nd class so it could be up to 2 weeks, but hopefully Royal Mail will behave.
Here's me enjoying the sparkly packaging envelopes (and the giant box they arrived in, apparently. I wanted to know why cats love them so much. It was actually super warm in there, so I can see the appeal).

Sorry if you hate decisions as much as I do! It's always so hard to narrow down. The options will all come back around, I'm sure 😊
We're back in the fuzzy jumper!! 💗 Crying this time, apparently!
What do you think of this place? Would you have liked a school with JUST autistic people?
Thank you for choosing this one in the poll! I feel like you always pick the one I didn't know I wanted you to pick. Next reaction video will be the weird stock footage (I can't wait 😂), but we have another autistic advice episode coming shortly too!
