    Pillar 5: Pattern Matching (Episode 141)
    2025/06/17
    An episode where our detail-oriented, data-loving, information-hungry selves come to life!In Episode 141 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture with Jodi Britcha-Coyne, as we move onto Pillar 5 — Pattern Matching. Jodi Brichta-Coyne is a Certified Life Coach, Author, Strategic Interventionist, Certified Relationship Coach, and an NLP (neurolinguistic programmer) for working moms and women with small businesses. As a mother of 2, Jodi started coaching to help other women deal with the stress and sometimes overwhelming combination of balancing a business life while maintaining a household. Before and while raising her family, Jodi has spent over 15 years as a corporate executive and small business owner.Pattern Matching is the cultural heart of autistic analysis, organization, and perception. While neurotypical culture often values quick generalizations and intuitive leaps, autistic minds notice what’s actually there. We observe first. We track anomalies. And we build understanding by recognizing patterns, not assumptions.Here’s what defines this core Autistic trait:* 🔁Pattern Matching: Recognizing recurring structures in data, behavior, language, or systems—and using them to predict, analyze, or innovate.* 🧠Monotropic Information Processing: Our brains tend to focus deeply on one thread at a time, often developing complex internal frameworks that connect disparate ideas.* 📚Data Hunger: A term coined within neurodivergent communities to describe the innate drive to seek information, accumulate facts, and understand systems at depth.Key Concepts:* Autistic pattern recognition is not cold or robotic—it’s emotionally charged, deeply human, and often creative.* It’s how we make sense of chaos, find comfort in repetition, and experience joy through discovery.* Our ability to match patterns spans micro and macro levels—from noticing a tiny shift in tone during a conversation to identifying social or ecological trends across decades.* It can be as playful as memorizing Pokémon stats or as groundbreaking as transforming human sexuality research like Kinsey did.Alfred Kinsey's most famous quote, and one that sums up his approach to sex research, is: "We are the recorders and reporters of facts, not the judges of the behaviors we describe."* Pattern matching often begins in childhood—lining up toys, collecting rocks, memorizing subway systems—and matures into adult forms like categorizing fan wikis, correcting Wikipedia, writing diagnostic criteria, or developing complex board game strategies.💭 Here’s what to listen for through the lens of Pattern Matching: Let’s look at 10 real-world examples of how pattern matching shows up—and how you can lean into it as an autistic cultural strength!Here are some examples:* Follow the data trails.✅ Lean in: You notice a glitch in a spreadsheet or inconsistency in a story, so you trace it back to the source—even if it takes a while.🎭 Mask: You brush it off because no one else seems concerned, but it gnaws at you all day.* Organize information in your own way.✅ Lean in: You color-code, cross-reference, or categorize your notes based on what helps you find meaning.🎭 Mask: You use a planner or note system that’s “normal” but totally unusable to your brain.* Let repetition be grounding, not “weird.”✅ Lean in: You listen to the same song or rewatch the same show to find patterns you missed the first time.🎭 Mask: You force yourself to rotate through new content to avoid being seen as obsessive, even though it’s less satisfying.* Let pattern logic guide social insight.✅ Lean in: You analyze someone’s tone, timing, and phrasing to understand their emotional pattern—even if it’s nonverbal.🎭 Mask: You pretend to read social vibes intuitively, even when it doesn’t actually make sense.Patterns are magical enough. The woo isn’t that woo-y* Build knowledge maps.✅ Lean in: You sketch diagrams, flowcharts, or database trees that connect ideas across time and topic.🎭 Mask: You try to follow neurotypical linear thinking styles and get overwhelmed or lost.* Say it when you see it.✅ Lean in: You point out connections between topics that others haven’t noticed—because that’s your brain’s gift.🎭 Mask: You keep quiet to avoid being labeled “off-topic,” “intense,” or “too analytical.”* Treat systems like puzzles.✅ Lean in: You fix processes at work or home by finding the bottlenecks others miss and proposing better sequences.🎭 Mask: You let inefficient systems persist because offering a solution would “make waves.”* Let trivia be your joy.✅ Lean in: You bring obscure but delightful facts into conversation, because joy in knowledge is culture.🎭 Mask: You hide your knowledge to avoid being called “a know-it-all.”* Create order from chaos.✅ Lean in: You clean, archive, or label in ways that make ...

  • Pillar 4: World Building (Episode 139)

    Pillar 4: World Building (Episode 139)
    2025/06/10
    An episode that took a fantasy and made it reality.In Episode 139 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture with Dr. Scott Frasard, as we move onto Pillar 4 — World building. Dr. Scott Frasard is an autistic autism advocate who is a published author and an outspoken critic of operant conditioning approaches to change natural autistic behaviors to meet neuro-normative social expectations.Dr Scott Frasard decided he wasn’t going to critique the status quo, he was going to build something new. His essay, ‘The World We Built: A Future Where Autistic People Are Respected, Not Repaired,’ set in 2075, imagines a world where autism is no longer pathologized. Where the DSM is behind museum glass, and identity is co-created, not diagnosed.You can read it in full here.Here’s what defines this core Autistic trait:* 🧠Mental Mapping: Autistic brains naturally organize information in systems — we often build entire models inside our minds to understand or improve what’s around us. Creating a coherent internal or external system — could be fictional, functional, emotional, social, or sensory.* 💡Systems thinking: Using logic, narrative, and design to rethink how things could work.Key Concepts:* Autistic world-building is immersive, structured, and strategic.* It often starts in childhood: building imaginary cities, organizing toys into categories, designing languages, or character arcs.* It evolves in adulthood: spreadsheets, RPGs, sensory hacks, alt-education models, and organizing social movements.* World building is a coping mechanism and a creative force — it helps us understand systems and reimagine them.* It is not limited to fiction, but that’s how we know it best or can spot it fastest. Some examples are Star Wars, Pokémon, Taylor Swift’s Eras, Dungeons & Dragons, My Chemical Romance, Ren Faires, LARP, fan wikis, and cosplay universes.💭 Here’s what to listen for through the lens of world-building: What does it look like to lean into world-building as an autistic cultural strength? And what does it look like when that gets punished or pathologized?Here are some examples:* Build your systems:Pathologized: They call you inflexible. You’re told to be more spontaneous. You mask your systems, and your stability crumbles.Lean in: You have rituals, frameworks, time-blocking, color-coding, filters, and scripts. You run your day like a game level.* Build a universe around your SPIN:Pathologized: It’s called obsessive. You’re told it’s “just a phase.” You try to hide your joy.Lean in: You go deep. You make maps, charts, and timelines. You know what your characters eat for breakfast.* Use world-building to solve problems:Pathologized: You’re told your ideas are too complex, too idealistic, too much.Lean in: You imagine better service models, ethical policy shifts, and future educational frameworks.* Build tools for neurodivergent life:Pathologized: You’re seen as needy or over-prepared instead of brilliant.Lean in: You design visual supports, flowcharts, decision trees, or sensory kits.* Co-create with others:Pathologized: Your leadership gets ignored. Your vision gets sidelined. You get told to “just follow the plan.”Lean in: You bring friends into the world you’re building. You make collaborative campaigns, zines, and alt-syllabi.Autistic world-building is not a bonus feature. It’s the core engine of our culture. The world we want doesn’t just appear. We build it. And we’ve already started.So, whether you’re autistic, exploring the possibility, or just someone who loves and respects autistic people, you are welcome here.We’re saving you a seat!This episode is a part of our Start Here Series, which is designed for new listeners of the show who are wondering, “where should I start?” to have a solid foundation for their experience here. It’s also for loyal listeners to begin to more fully embody the pillars of Autistic culture with more clarity and pride. Join the convo with #AutisticCulture!Scott on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottfrasard/Scott’s book: https://amzn.eu/d/1OmioMcRelated Episodes:* George Lucas - The creation of Star Wars was a masterclass in galactic-scale myth-making. (Ep 56)* Pokémon - Offers an intricate, collectible universe built on categorization, pattern recognition, and the joy of completion. (Ep 16)* Dungeons & Dragons - Let’s players collaboratively build worlds with clear rules and infinite flexibility. (Ep 39)* Taylor Swift - She constructs interconnected emotional worlds through albums, Easter eggs, and lyrical references. (Ep 64)* My Chemical Romance - MCR’s concept albums (The Black Parade, Danger Days) build rich dystopian worlds, where emotional extremes are mapped onto visual and sonic design. (Ep 121)* Lemony Snicket - The Snicketverse builds a deeply ordered but unjust world, where rules are arbitrary yet must be followed. (Ep ...
