Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about their sensory experiences, specifically how to identify and experience joy through the senses. We talk about the differences and contradictions between being sensory avoidant vs sensory seeking, reclaiming our senses, finding agency in managing sensory experiences, and acknowledging the unsung joy of sheer relief.  Work with us by scheduling at the links below: Aradia: [coming soon] Cheryl: https://www.discoverclarity.ca   Patrice: https://www.patriceriley.comMatthew: https://www.theautisticcoach.com  Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective: https://www.autisticcoaches.com Follow us on social media: Podcast: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticstuffpod.bsky.social  Aradia: [coming soon] Cheryl: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:xusgwlxppuqftnldu47e3f4a  Patrice: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticpresence.bsky.social Matthew: https://bsky.app/profile/theautisticcoach.bsky.social Theme music: https://bluedotsessions.bandcamp.com/track/vinyl-couch  A https://www.foxandravenmedia.com production Check out other FARM podcasts Black Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene  Used2Sew: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838  Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  

Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about their experiences dealing with and/or avoiding the world of medicine as autistic non-men. From not knowing what help is accessible to falling through the cracks to finding our ancestral anger at generations of mistreatment, we hope this conversation helps other autistic people recognize that these struggles are common and systemic.
