  • So Validating!

    I am a 39yo female just diagnosed by my therapist last week. I’ve never been a podcast girl due to what I now (thanks to this podcast) believe is auditory processing issues. So I enjoy and am appreciative for the transcripts to episodes that have them. I self diagnosed after my daughter got an educational diagnosis. I’m now experiencing the grief of questioning what is me and what is the mask, the years lost, and who I would be/the life I would have lived if I knew sooner. I am so thankful I fou... more

    *your conversation with ryan bush and rebecca evanko, both carrying a clear thread (as i imagine many other episodes do as well) about becoming who we are and honing our gifts of autistic being, but also specifically the therapeutic tools and assessment protocols you talk with rebecca about brings me hope that i really can use, as someone who‘s ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Is Autism?
Q: How do you approach masking and being your authentic self?
Schuld argues that masking is not a simple dichotomy; she practices selective masking to feel safe and communicate effectively, while recognizing that everyone masks to some extent.
What Is Autism?
Q: What does it mean to slow down and notice what's happening in your body?
The guest describes reducing daily demands to stay grounded, which enables better self-monitoring and clearer communication about what is happening internally.
What Is Autism?
Q: What has been your experience with energy and fatigue as an autistic person?
She explains multiple drains—nervous system arousal, social anticipation, and post-event processing—leading to the need for solo recharge time and naps to maintain balance.
What Is Autism?
Q: When did you learn you were autistic, and how did that impact your life choices?
Schuld shares that she was identified in her mid-30s and formally diagnosed a year later, which shifted her professional focus from traditional practice to exploring autism, neurodivergence, and how it informs her therapy and art.
Remarkable Replay: What Did I Do Wrong?
Q: Let's start with, how did you find out you're autistic, and what led you to a diagnosis?
I discovered I'm autistic after a long personal journey starting with a frustrating moment at work, followed by online forums and magazines that highlighted traits that finally lined up with my experiences; official diagnosis came after a burnout period and a therapist who recognized the pattern, leading to a formal ASD diagnosis in 2015.
