I wish I had been listening to these as they came out. I recently finished a PsyD through California Southern University that did not involve degrading myself as an autistic person. To be fair, there was almost nothing at all required on autism in the entire program, but I found a way to make almost every research paper written on autism and published all my research on my website: www.AffirmingNeurodiversity.com/blog.
My research was on autism and gender diversity, but there is a lot of research out now on better treatments than ABA, and research demonstrating the dangers of traditional ABA. My best finding was peer connections as an intervention to improve autistic mental health. There is some great peer reviewed research on the benefits of being in community with other autistic people that led me to start a social group for neurodivergent professionals. We need each other to be well. https://www.affirmingneurodiversity.com/blog/effective-treatment-for-transgender-autistic-adults
Great episode. I just want to suggest you take another look at Friends through an autistic lens! Ross and Monica are so clearly autistic to me. And Joey maybe… but sure, the writing and situations are more NT.
I would actually love to read the new, alternative lesson that you wrote, Angela, with all the citations of up-to-date research. If you feel like sharing it ☺️
I don't think I can share that exactly because it used the professor's slides with my edits to the slides. I can give you the paper I wrote critiquing the class which has a lot of the same references. It's not exactly the same but similar and I referenced the class I wrote to write this paper.
I never watched SpongeBob but this info dump was fascinating to listen to. Right up until it was decided that Matt is Autistic Daddy and all thoughts immediately emptied from my head and I felt the need to figure out how far Wisconsin is from Indiana. 😂

Great suggestion!
Hey, where did you get that 20% of the population? I’ve always heard that its closer to 2%
