This is my favorite podcast on autism.
This is my absolute favorite autism podcast! It’s helped me a ton. You’re hilarious and extremely entertaining. Please don’t stop!!!
I just learned I most likely have Autism (plus ADHD) and this was one of the first podcasts I listened to and have continued to listen to. Very entertaining and engaging; my ADHD brain doesn’t tend to wander off as much. :)
The beginning of the 3/12 show made me feel so very seen. I believe his self-doubt, etc. was entirely authentic.

Even if this was the only episode I’d ever heard those introductory minutes would’ve made me a subscriber. Thank you.
