  • Definitely not for me

    I have never felt so misrepresented, patronised, stereotyped and gaslit listening to an another autistic person talk about autism. How is it possible to listen to an autism advocacy podcast and finish it feeling like a victim of my own autism?

    Great coverage of episode topics. Equally great coverage of completely unrelated tangents. Excellent production and performance throughout. The humor translates extremely well to the U.S. Midwest.

  • Orion is my spirit animal

    I love this podcast. I especially love it when Orion goes off on a tangent. One of the two or three best podcasts out there about adult autism done by an actual autistic person. I hope Orion becomes a billionaire, gets to live in a real castle and gets a national holiday in Australia called Orion Kelly Day.

    Big thanks to Orion. I find this podcast to be kind informative with authentic delivery. I’m 62 yrs and just discovered I’m autistic. This show reminds me I’m not alone with any of these new insights and that I’m not broken. Sincerely, one of the stars that listen.
