I\u00a0certainly cannot imagine another reason you stumbled into a podcast named <em><strong>The\u00a0Autistic Me<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Since I\u2019m\u00a0not known for my bright and cheery self-promotional nature, I\u2019ll stick to what\u00a0I do best: blunt honesty. Maybe you\u2019ll still subscribe to the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0podcast has rarely managed a weekly or biweekly schedule. This podcast and the\u00a0blog are things I try to do around my other responsibilities. I do my best to\u00a0release episodes twice a month or more, but I often fail to hit that goal.<\/p>\n<p>What could\u00a0be more important than dreaming of podcast or YouTube stardom? Don\u2019t I want to\u00a0monetize my social media presence? Doesn\u2019t everyone with a podcast want to\u00a0become a social media influencer?<\/p>\n<p>I am a\u00a0parent, working from home and doing my best to homeschool two young\u00a0Neurodiverse daughters in the midst of a pandemic. Before that, my wife Susan\u00a0and I were the girls\u2019 foster parents.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I\u2019d\u00a0love for this podcast to generate some income, but I have never had the time or\u00a0energy to beg for interviews and promote myself on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok,\u00a0or whatever is popular at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s\u00a0actually why you should listen to <em><strong>The Autistic Me<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0podcast is about real life. I\u2019m an exhausted parent, an imperfect husband, a\u00a0freelance writer, a former educator, and an authentic diagnosed autistic\u00a0struggling to hold things together day after day.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not one\u00a0of the super parent influencers who can juggle work, parenting, and\u00a0high-production-value YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<p>There are\u00a0funnier blogs and podcasts. Much, much funnier. Yes, there are entertaining\u00a0podcasts hosted by funny autistics. I hope to have some of those funny people\u00a0on this podcast to ask how they manage to be so charmingly witty.<\/p>\n<p>There are\u00a0more informative podcasts about autism research and current publications. I\u00a0assume if you want autism news, you can set a Google, Apple, or Bing news alert\u00a0for the keyword \u201cautism.\u201d I don\u2019t want to be an aggregator of news headlines.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The\u00a0Autistic Me<\/strong><\/em> is about life as an autistic individual. But, it\u2019s not just my\u00a0autistic perspective. I wouldn\u2019t want to listen to 30 or so episodes a year of\u00a0my whining about daily life. That would be pretty boring. I chat with Neurodiverse\u00a0guests, including my daughters. Authors, scholars, and other parents have\u00a0appeared on the podcast, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe\u00a0and give <em><strong>The Autistic Me<\/strong><\/em> a chance. I\u2019ll be here, Christopher Scott Wyatt,\u00a0speaking as The Autistic Me.<\/p>\n<p>It might even\u00a0be entertaining once in a while.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<h3>The Autistic Me:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Blog:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tameri.com\/autisticme\/\">https:\/\/www.tameri.com\/autisticme\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Podcast:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/\">https:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Facebook:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/autisticme\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/autisticme\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/autisticme\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/autisticme<\/a><\/li>\n<li>YouTube:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/CSWyatt\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/CSWyatt<\/a><\/li>\n<li>LinkedIn: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/autisticme\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/autisticme<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Podcast Episode 0069, Season 5, Episode &#8220;0&#8221;; 31 August 2021 Season Five\u00a0Trailer This podcast is about real life.
