Aspergers and Autism Podcast [The Aspie World]

In this episode of The Aspie World, you hear a clear guide made for late diagnosed autistic adults. If you found out in adulthood, this episode speaks directly to you and your experience. It covers the shock of diagnosis, the relief, the anger, and the questions that follow.

You learn what changes after diagnosis, what does not, and how to make sense of past experiences through a new lens. The episode looks at identity, masking, burnout, relationships, and work, with practical examples you may recognise. This is a straight talking episode designed to help you understand yourself better and move forward with clarity and self trust.

In this episode of The Aspie World, you hear about a fear many autistic people live with, and it is not what most people assume. This is not about loud noises or crowds. It is about being misunderstood, judged, or punished for needs you did not choose.
You explore where this fear comes from, how it shows up in daily life, and why it often goes unnoticed by others. The episode breaks down real examples from school, work, and social situations, and explains the long term impact on confidence and mental health. If you want a clear look at autistic fear from the inside, this conversation gives you that perspective without sugarcoating it.

Welcome back to The Aspie World. In this episode, you hear a clear and honest discussion about the new Artistic Barbie doll from Mattel and the reaction it has triggered. You explore why this doll has caused debate, what Mattel aimed to do, and where people feel it worked or missed the mark. The focus stays on real representation, not marketing headlines.
You also look at the wider impact of inclusive toys for girls, especially autistic and disabled children. This episode breaks down the benefits, the limits, and the concerns raised by the community. If you care about representation, autism awareness, and how toys shape identity from a young age, this episode gives you a grounded and direct conversation without noise or hype.

This episode focuses on routines that reduce stress, save energy, and make daily life more manageable for autistic people. It explains why routines are not about control or rigidity, but about safety, predictability, and nervous system regulation.
You will learn five specific routines that can be started immediately, even if you struggle with motivation, burnout, or executive functioning. Each routine is designed to lower decision fatigue, reduce anxiety, and prevent overwhelm before it builds too high.
The episode covers morning structure, transition support, energy pacing, recovery time, and end-of-day shutdown routines. You will hear why common advice often fails autistic people, and how small changes make a big difference when your brain processes information differently.
This episode also addresses guilt around rest, why forcing productivity backfires, and how routines can support independence instead of taking it away. Clear examples are shared so you can adapt each routine to your own life, home, or schedule.
If daily life feels chaotic, exhausting, or unpredictable, this episode gives you practical structure without pressure. These routines work for autistic adults, teens, and children, and can be adjusted to fit school, work, or home life.

This episode breaks down three sensory issues that show up again and again in autistic children and adults, but often go misunderstood or missed completely. You will learn how sensory overload actually works in the nervous system, why certain sounds, lights, textures, or movements trigger strong reactions, and why these reactions are not overreactions or behaviour problems.
You will hear clear explanations of sensory sensitivity, sensory seeking, and sensory shutdown. Each one affects daily life in different ways, including school, work, relationships, and mental health. The episode explains why some autistic people avoid noise while others need constant sound, why certain clothes feel unbearable, and why busy environments can drain energy fast.
This episode also helps you spot sensory stress early. You will learn the common signs that appear before meltdowns or shutdowns, how sensory overload builds over time, and what actually helps in the moment. Practical examples are used throughout so you can connect this information to real life, not theory.
If you are autistic, this episode helps you understand your own reactions without shame. If you are a parent, partner, or professional, this episode gives you a clearer way to support without pushing, forcing, or dismissing sensory needs.
