  • Diagnosis and What Needs to Change

    Diagnosis and What Needs to Change
    Nov 24 2025

    In this episode I’m talking with Briane Webb, a teacher who takes a unique approach to learning. Briane is dedicated to a special kind of school experience, one that values individual differences and neurodiversity. She created a school called Webbsprout where her ideas can thrive.

    Our chat focused on Briane and what it’s like to be an autistic person. I’ve picked some gems from the full interview to share with you. Briane is candid about getting her diagnosis and about autistic strengths and trauma. There’s a lot of information in this clip from a longer conversation with Briane Webb.

    If you want to the longer version of this interview contact me at info@theautisticwoman.com.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually found something that shows my brain so well. This is…so accurate for me that it is almost scary, yet calming. Idk how to explain. It’s like that’s how my brain is used to things, so I’ve just naturally taught myself to tune it out. So as soon as it started, I almost immediately began to tune it out to the point of being oblivious to the world. Like it’s an extreme tune out that keeps me from being able to focus on anything, because if I allow myself to actually relax enough to focus on that one thing, then I accidentally let everything in, and then it is way too much.
I made myself put my wall down and listen to the podcast and I immediately saw that this is my brain, 1001%. Even as I type this, I’m hearing so many noises and my brain is having so many conversations with no one even here other than my husband storing in the other room!

Freakishly accurate

I have difficulty with this too. It's quite relieving to have a "how to ask"guide.

Reassuring

I appreciate their understanding and clear explanation. They also clearly note when they are expressing their views as opposed to licensed medical advice.

Thoughtful and helpful.

Most people don't come with an instruction manual. Apparently I do!!!!! I truly can't express enough how much this podcast has helped me. 46 years of being called weird, quirky, crazy, different, etc. 46 years of not knowing. I truly appreciate every episode of this podcast!

Finally found somebody that gets me!!
