Missed the May 26 Member Connection Call?
Here’s a Glimpse at What Went Down on our May Ask Me Anything Members' Call
On this edition of our Ask Me Anything, we shared some big shifts, a little heartbreak, and a lot of plans—plus writing prompts, sneak peeks, and a powerful reminder of why this work matters.
👀 If you want to hear about:
📚 Book Update: Pink Is the New Orange! The revised version of the book (now with pink accents), and original research from my master's dissertation is now available as an advanced reader copy to paid subscribers.
🔄 Season Shift: What’s happening with the current “surprise” mini-season, and how you can make a guest appearance on the show
🖋️ Writing Contest + Anthology News: Weekly prompts (like “Write a Love Letter to Your Special Interest”) are sparking powerful submissions.
🏛️ New Project: The Autistic Culture Institute: The Autistic Culture Podcast and Neurodivergent Narratives are now housed under a new umbrella 👉 The Autistic Culture Institute. And get ready—because June 17–19, 2026, marks the launch of Neurodivergent Voices Live, a new Bristol, UK-based live event featuring:
Autistic authors & book signings
Live podcast recordings
Improv and theatre performances
A pop-up Autistic Culture Museum
Wanna come? 🎟️ Supporting subscribers are automatically entered to win a trip for two to Bristol to attend!
✍️ Final Word: Writing as Therapy - To close the call, participants wrote love letters to their special interests—from LEGO to photography to podcasts. The writing circle was moving and therapeutic, and I hope to do more live writing circles in the fall. Stay tuned!
