Welcome to The Autistic Mystic Podcast, the podcast dissecting existence, love, pop culture and the human condition through the unique lens of autism. I created this show so that autistic girls, gays and theys like me wouldn't feel so alone in their journey of understanding their brain. I will be sharing my lived experience as it pertains to autism and my identity intersections (black, queer, woman etc). I won't share research studies and this isn't a teachable moment. You are witnessing yourself through me witnessing myself: come listen, cackle and commiserate. I also have another podcast you can check out.

My life has changed for the better due to entering my thirties and understanding my brain more (autism). I'v begun the process of building authentic self-esteem and discuss this in depth. Namely: The tenets of improved self esteem Tools to reframe self care if you’re struggling to take your needs seriously Putting respeck on your name: not diminishing your talents When is self deprecation appropriate Disassociation as a coping mechanism Learning what boundaries are and tuning to my needs Parentification, Codependence and Emotional incest Sexual advocacy How autism has shifted my personal style Getting better at self advocacy Trusting my intuition Rejecting the idea of ‘coming out’ The guilt of prioritising my needs Please leave a review on Apple podcasts so that other late-diagnosers can find the show.

Having to work to live sucks, least of all when how your brain is built doesn't support consistent productivity. In this episode I discuss how difficult I find entrepreneurship and employment, and how much I resent having to betray myself at work just to maintain basic human rights (food, shelter). I get into: Entrepreneurship and how it triggers our fear of being perceived Capitalism and the illusion of choice Workplaces wanting your time and not your productivity The unfairness and impossibility of monetizing a passion Fundamental incongruities of autism and conventional offices References: Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata Please leave a review on Apple podcasts so that other late-diagnosers can find the show Check out my other podcast: https://linktr.ee/mukundwa_ Join my Patreon: https://patreon.com/autisticasfuck Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/autisticasfpodcast Find a therapist or counsellor: https://ndtherapists.com and https://neurodivergentpractitioners.org/ Hosted on Acast.

This episode is my case against casual sex! Sex is glorious and awesome and I hope we all have more of it. However we can't ignore the challenges inherent to autism that make us very bad candidates for casual sex. In this episode I unpack autistic sensitivities and accommodations that would make “casual” sex, anything but that. I discuss: The double burden of having to unmask and contend with socialisation that has made women fawn and struggle to self advocate Meltdowns, breakdowns and going nonverbal during stressful intimacy What does safe vs. unsafe sex look like for autistic women The importance of building self trust Double speak, manipulation vs. Directness Autistics and a trusting nature/naivity Please leave a rating on Spotify and review on Apple podcasts so that other late-diagnosers can find the show References The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Pick Up Artists Examined: https://youtu.be/Tpuw_aPP-n4?si=zPnLDXnh9GDO-uHQ Check out my other podcast: https://linktr.ee/mukundwa_ Join my Patreon: https://patreon.com/autisticasfuck Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/autisticasfpodcast Find a therapist or counsellor: https://ndtherapists.com and https://neurodivergentpractitioners.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Amanda Seales is being unfairly dog-pilled on. When people are cut down because they're honest and direct, what does this say about society at large? If it's unsafe for a successful, effective, beautiful allistic woman to be unflinching in her anti-establishment critiques, what hope is there for the average black autistic woman? This episode dissects bullying dynamics, the price of honesty, Hollywood, blackness and the isolation that comes from being a truth-teller. 00:35 The Unfair Treatment of Amanda Seales and Its Implications on black autistic women 03:00 The Intersection of Autism, Likability, and Professional Success 05:44 Black Hollywood, oppression, bullies thrive in silence 10:38 Hollywood archetypes and bullying Please leave a review on Apple podcasts so that other late-diagnosers can find the show Check out my other podcast: https://linktr.ee/mukundwa_ Join my Patreon: https://patreon.com/autisticasfuck Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/autisticasfpodcast Find a therapist or counsellor: https://ndtherapists.com and https://neurodivergentpractitioners.org/ Hosted on Acast.

I know I’m not the only one who immediately read Bella Baxter as autistic! In this episode I explore all the ways I took Poor Things to be an allegory for autistic womens’ coming of age. There will be spoilers. For those of you who don't know (get to know! Watch it, it's fabulous): 'Poor Things' is a movie about a woman "brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist. She runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, she grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation." Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and written by Tony McNamara, starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, and Jerrod Carmichael. It wont 4 Oscars at the Academy Awards: Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling. 02:16 Exploring Autistic Traits Through Bella's Journey 06:24 Naivety and Sincerity 18:08 “Polite Society” and Ridiculous Social Norms 21:35 Difficulty Navigating Friendships and Relationships 25:35 Hyperfixations and Sexuality 26:57 Challenging Gender Norms and Societal Expectations 32:02 Concluding Thoughts on 'Poor Things' and Its Impact Please leave a review, it would mean the world to me and help other autistic folks find my podcast!
