Ep. 12 - Autistic Joys & Victories

Autistic Tidbits & Tangents

Ep. 12 - Autistic Joys & Victories - For the last episode of the season, we discuss autistic joy and victories. Often, autistic people are not believed when we express happiness or fulfillment, or we are told we can’t be autistic then. Autism and happiness are seen as opposites. For this episode, we talk about how everyone needs to have their needs met in order to be joyful and happy. We discuss autistic victories in the media and personally, and how we foster joy in our lives. We end by talking about next season!
