Evening all,
Slightly late to publish this weeks episode as we only recorded it on Thursday and then... Yes well. Simon has been given coffee and time to fix his computer after it ate the first draft of the edit.
Anyway. Join Simon and Joey for a discussion of body image, how it has become all pervading, why Simon doesn't feel like he is good enough and how to start thinking about fitness in a more healthy way.
We are joined by friend of the show Sam to talk about his own journey from feeling fat, through learning and understanding and how he is much happier now.
This is a long episode and the editing was made somewhat difficult. It is also on topics some people may find challenging to listen to or think about. That is an absolutely reasonable place to be and we would encourage everything to approach these things in their own time, way and never feel bullied or less than you wonderful self. We are talking about these things as much to help ourselves as hopefully help others.
We will return with an episode in two weeks and we look forward to sharing more interesting neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ concepts, stories and ideas with you all.
Have a great week!
Simon and Joey (and Sam)
As ever, do get in touch with us via Twitter @AtypicalThePod where our DM's are open. We are also building up a Discord server and will release details of that soon.
P.S. Kuro stopped by for the after party so we should mention them here. I guess.
Next up:
Future episodes might well include:

  1. Trying to be successful, aka "what are you trying to achieve/aspire to against the force of your autism in your life and how constructive/destructive is it to force yourself out of your comfort zone"? (edited)
  2. "Fuck it I'm too old for this shit", aka when you give up on the things you tried to fit in with when younger
  3. When autistics don't get along
  4. IFood
  5. The MMR Sandal and more Bad Science
  6. Fear of doing new things, and, conversely, FOMO
  7. An episode of interruptions, where we make the point about rambling by never letting each other finish
  8. Biscuits.
  9. Inner voice
  10. Remembering names and faces
  11. The Useful Autistic
  12. So, this Hans Asperger guy?
  13. Special Interests - Ongoing series such as Episode 11
  14. Being clocked/Do other people know we're autistic?
  15. Autism and grief (with special guest Simons brother)
  16. Sensory overload, Comorbidities and/or secondary/consequential disorders

As ever we thank you, our loyal listeners for sticking with us. We would love to hear from you and our Twitter is open @AtypicalThePod for messages and comments.
Have a topic you would like us to cover, or do you fancy joining us for a natter, maybe tell us about your area of interest or expertise and share these things with everyone.
We would also recommend our friend The Autistic Women for another great view on living with autism and our friends at the All Bets are Off podcast who cover addiction.
