Autistic hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry LPP, are joined by Autistic author, Becca Lory Hector. Topics include:

  • Why identification is so important—at any age.
  • A neuro-affirming way to process, unpack, and grieve after diagnosis.
  • “Autistic preppers bags”: what they are and why we need them.
  • The ultimate place for “hobbity” people to get lost in the woods.
  • Navigating relationships post-autism identification, including mixed-disability relationships.
  • The nuances of masking: who, what, when, where, and why.
