  • Needs a content warning for episode 5

    Episode five has graphic descriptions and recordings of police violence against Autistic people. There should be a content warning on this, as it is incredibly disturbing.

    An interesting podcast that effectively explores the history and current reality of Autistic people in the US through one man’s story. Well-researched and we get lots of Don’s voice about his life as well as other actually autistic voices.

  • Learning about my history

    As an autistic woman myself, this was a fascinating listen. I grew up as autism was becoming better understood, and I can only imagine what life as like for Donald before there was a name for autism.

  • Fantastic Story That No One Knows

    As father of a son who was recently diagnosed, I’ve been learning to adapt to the challenges that Autism can bring. Donald’s story is so inspirational and the hosts do a great job of presenting the psychology and history in a fair and balanced way.
