Transcript

An episode that shares advice for Autistics, because advice is one of the fastest ways we build culture!

In episode 150 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, guest host Simon Scott (The Autistic Culture podcast’s producer) highlights the top submissions from our Week 10 writing prompt:📝 “In 100 words or fewer, what advice would you give to someone newly identified as autistic?”

This episode is part of our 12-week writing series created specifically for autistic writers, creatives, and self-discovery seekers who use storytelling as a tool for healing, identity integration, and unmasking.

Here are our top two entries.
