Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 11 - Parenting as an Autistic Person
Q: What are some ways children of autistic parents may be impacted?
Wendy mentions that children may benefit from honesty and the lack of involvement in typical parental drama, which can create a more authentic environment without the pressures of conformity.
Episode 11 - Parenting as an Autistic Person
Q: Can you talk about your experiences parenting as an autistic person?
Wendy discusses challenges such as pregnancy and the inability to connect with her child in typical ways, as well as her struggles with societal expectations and pressures as a parent.
Episode 11 - Parenting as an Autistic Person
Q: Can you talk about the challenges you face in your work with clients and how might that work as a superpower in your role as a counselor?
Wendy shares that she tends to take a detective-like approach, looking for correlations between thoughts and behaviors rather than simply listening. This proactive method can help in getting to the heart of issues, but she acknowledges it might lack empathetic understanding at times.
Episode 20 - Small Talk
Q: Are we expecting them to kind of be more neurotypical?
Guttentag believes that while small talk may reflect neurotypical communication norms, many autistic people also have varied ways of communicating.
Episode 20 - Small Talk
Q: What do you think just… there are a lot of people, autistic folks, who do not like small talk. Why do you think that's the case?
Many autistic individuals find small talk uncomfortable as it feels fake and involves navigating social rituals that can be challenging.
