  • [Encore] Lena Dunham is Autistic

    [Encore] Lena Dunham is Autistic
    2025/07/29
    This episode originally aired on March 11th 2025, but with her new hit show “Too Much” in the spotlight, and #1 on Netflix, it’s more relevant than ever. We're currently on hiatus, but we wanted to bring this one back into the feed for anyone watching the show!Here’s what’s in store for this episode: * Why Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and POTS often co-occur with autism—and how Lena Dunham’s chronic illness journey mirrors autistic burnout.* How Girls functions as an autistic TV show, created by a mind that doesn’t follow neurotypical storytelling norms—and why that resonates with so many of us.* Lena’s character in Girls exhibits traits like rejection-sensitive dysphoria, clothing sensitivities, difficulty with transitions, and social cue misfires—classic markers of autism.* We explore Dunham’s memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, and how neurotypical audiences misunderstood it, highlighting the risks autistic creatives face when being raw and unfiltered.* The canonical autism of Girls character Shoshanna, and how autistic-coded characters naturally cluster in neurodivergent-created spaces.* How Lena Dunham’s autistic traits were pathologised, her career sidelined, and how a lack of control in creative environments can lead to health crises for neurodivergent people.* We also discuss her marriage to Jack Antonoff, and his neurodivergent-coded songwriting for bands like Fun. and Bleachers, as well as his ties to Taylor Swift, who’s also widely considered neurodivergent-coded.

  • Pillar 10: Passionate Superfanning with Simon Scott

    Pillar 10: Passionate Superfanning with Simon Scott
    2025/07/22

    In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 10 of Autistic Culture: Passionate Superfanning with producer and fellow podcaster Simon Scott. Whether it’s Doctor Who, My Chemical Romance, Star Trek, or Renaissance fairs—superfanning isn’t a phase. It’s a core cultural trait of autistic identity.


    We break down how special interests (SPINs), emotional intensity, and parasocial bonding create a uniquely autistic form of connection with fictional universes and fan communities.


    🎧 What You’ll Learn

    • Why superfanning is a form of emotional regulation, community-building, and cultural expression in autistic lives
    • The role of SPINs in forming deep, long-term relationships with fictional characters and stories
    • How fan spaces, cosplay, scripting, and world-building support autistic identity, routine, and joy
    • The difference between leaning in to fandom as an autistic form of self-care vs. masking it to appear neurotypical
    • How conventions and fandom aesthetics offer accessible social connection where autistic people can thrive


    💡 Key Concepts from This Episode

    • SPINs are not fleeting hobbies—they’re lifelines.
    • Superfanning includes collecting, scripting, deep lore analysis, and wearing fandom as identity.
    • Fictional friends offer emotional fluency, comfort, and companionship.
    • Autistic fans often mask their enthusiasm due to stigma—this episode invites you to unmask with pride.
