  • Announcement: Plot Twist (Episode 127)
    Apr 29 2025

    This episode is an important announcement. Matt Lowry LPP has decided to step away as a Co-Host and will not longer be apart of The Autistic Culture Podcast.

    Here’s what we cover in today’s episode:

    * This episode is being put out there to explain what happened to prevent gossip, rumors, or unnecessary speculation about Matt’s decision to depart the show. The work Matt and I did together mattered—and deserves to be honored with truth, not drama.

    * The Autistic Culture Podcast WILL CONTINUE with Angela but will be different for the upcoming season 4 - all is explained in this episode!

    * The last advocacy episode will come out as usual on Friday while the last official episode of Season 3 will come out on May 6th.

    Matt’s contributions to the Autistic Culture Podcast will always be part of our foundation and I wish him the very best for the future.

  • Autism and Grief (Episode 126)
    Apr 25 2025
    An episode that gets right in the feels.Please note that this episode contains discussions about, death, suicide and self harm.In Episode 126 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we explore how grief extends beyond the loss of a person with guest Mady Snyder—an autistic, PDA, ADHD, OCD, and cPTSD-identified therapist—who specializes in exactly this kind of nuance. Why do we grieve the loss of routines, relationships, and expectations. She’s here to help us unpack the ways autistic grief is different—not broken, not less, just different.Here’s what we cover in today’s episode: * We discuss the concept of ambiguous loss, the limitations of traditional grief models, and the unique ways autistic individuals experience and express grief. * Mady and Angela breakdown the role of special interests in processing grief and the impact of grief on the nervous system. * We share various coping strategies, the significance of personal rituals, the importance of understanding individual needs, and the impact of social invalidation on the grieving process. * Additionally, we address the challenges of internalized ableism and the importance of recognizing diverse expressions of grief and why you can grieve a grilled-cheese sandwich.Mady Synder's BioMady Snyder, LMFT, is a neuroaffirming therapist in private practice in Pasadena.

  • Roller Derby Is Autistic (Episode 125)
    Apr 22 2025

    An episode that hits hard and stays in bounds!

    In Episode 125 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we explore the unexpected overlap between roller derby and autistic identity with guest Karina Taylor — a neurodivergent therapist and seasoned skater. From emotional regulation to alter egos, this episode dives into how the sport offers structure, expression, and community for autistic and neurodivergent individuals alike.Here’s what we cover in today’s episode:

    * In this episode, Angela chats with Karina Taylor — a primary therapist at Foundations in Asheville, North Carolina and a roller derby extraordinaire — about the unique connections between roller derby and autism.

    * We dive into roller derby technique and clear up some common misconceptions (no, it’s not choreographed — and no, it’s not all about aggression). But it does bring out some big emotions and serious intensity.

    * Despite its rough-and-tumble reputation, roller derby is a highly organized sport with a detailed rule set and a strong emphasis on strategy and teamwork. It’s also one of the most gender-inclusive sports out there, creating space for athletes of all gender identities to participate, compete, and feel represented on the track.

    * Additionally, roller derby often involves adopting a persona or alter ego — a playful, empowering form of masking that allows skaters to fully step into a character and express parts of themselves that might not surface in everyday life.

    * Roller derby offers a powerful outlet for emotional expression, allowing skaters to channel complex feelings—like frustration, excitement, and vulnerability—into physical movement and team connection. The structure and creativity of the sport provide a safe, supportive space where emotions aren’t just allowed but embraced. For many, especially neurodivergent individuals, it becomes a form of regulation, empowerment, and authentic self-expression both on and off the track.

    Did you enjoy this episode? We talk about all things roller derby — from the rules and strategy to the emotional intensity it brings out in skaters. We also explore how this high-energy, gender-inclusive sport offers a powerful outlet for neurodivergent and autistic individuals to express themselves, connect with community, and even embrace a bold alter ego.
