The Autistic Me Podcast, long-delayed but almost ready to launch.
I am writing to seek your support and possible participation in my latest advocacy effort.
- Are you an autistic individual who wants to share a story?
- Are you a partner of an autistic individual, and might you both want to share your insights with others?
- Are you the child of an autistic parent? These are stories rarely shared, and important to hear.
- Are you a support provider or other expert?
In the coming weeks, I will launch The Autistic Me Podcast to complement the existing blog. When I started the blog in 2007, the online format reached a wide audience and was the best platform for that time. Today, podcasts and video streaming dominate content delivery and it is time that I caught up with my audience.
The Autistic Me Podcast will feature autistic individuals speaking about their experiences and their identities including and beyond autism. We will also speak to family members, support providers, experts, and others interested in joining an autistic-centered conversation. With the focus on our voices, our experiences, and our identities as individuals, I want the guest appearances to reflect this ambition.
Topics will address the needs of all autistics, not only those able to appear as guests. As the foster father to young children, I understand we must discuss autistics of all ages and all abilities. The series will seek to bridge differences within the autism community through discussion, without confrontation.
Every episode will be distributed through the major podcasting platforms, including Apple and Google apps. The conversations will be transcribed and posted to The Autistic Me blog to ensure accessibility.
Episodes will run 15 to 20 minutes. If a conversation merits more time, it will be distributed as multiple short episodes to better align with the needs of listeners and readers.
