Your therapist has identified what she has come to identify as "THE Autistic Fight" - the argument loop that autistic people and their (usually) non-autistic partners get stuck in again and again.

The baseline of her research? Working with autistic clients, discussing with autistic friends, and fighting with me, ya boy.

Sometimes, therapists suck. My wife (your therapist) explains what to look for.

The alternative title to this episode: "So we heard your therapist sucks booty hole".

We didn't record an episode for like over a year. My bad. Your therapist wants to remind you how critical making friends is for your cute lil nervous system.

Weed, booze, chronic shopping, over-eating, you get it. Your therapist calls it "running from discomfort". No judgement here bro, I'm the fuckin captain of the smoke weed everyday ship.

She's gonna walk us both through why running from discomfort can actually create it's own problems. Come listen to these tips on how and why to stop running all the time. Trust me, it works.

Moving is one of the most stressful things we can do. Your therapist has sessions pretty regularly where she talks to clients about it. Come join us for a few helpful tips on ways to manage stress when you're moving (especially if you're neurodivergent).

OMG you guys your therapist wanted to interview ME instead of the other way around bc ppl hire me to help them find jobs and write their resume and do mock interviews and I'm really friggin good at helping people land their dream jobs and Ash wanted to talk to ME about it because apparently she talks to her clients all the time about how to find jobs so this time I'M THE EXPERT OMG i'm blushing come check it out i get HYPED UP on this sh*t 

If you're autistic (or think you might be), making friends can be hard. Your therapist Ash is autistic and talks to clients all day long about how to make true friends. Come listen to her advice. 

A listener reached out and asked your therapist for her advice about making friends at work. Being friendly with coworkers is easy, but becoming close friends with coworkers can be tricky.
