This episode was one of my favorites to record because it covered some of the key points of autism based on what I’ve personally discovered. I was so excited to present this section that I decided to read it first and then debrief the episode by ranting on about it afterward.
Autism operates primarily like an automatic force outside of consciousness or executive functioning. Most of the people who have autism that I have worked with will describe the worst of their disability as a prison. It's like an uncontrollable urge for predictability and sameness, running on a loop as though it has a life of its own.
Obviously, this paints a pretty daunting image but it goes to show that even our most unique characteristics and abilities are not all hunky-dory. Our autism can consume us to the point where it can override our empowered sense of self and our capacity to think for ourselves. That’s why it’s important to never forget that no matter how automatic our subconscious habits (of thinking, doing, and being) may be, we are the masters of our minds, not the other way around.
