Tragic, this 12 year-old autistic girl has noticed she is struggling with social skills and is being bullied by her peers for it. She has decided to fix her social skills problems by reading Victorian etiquette manuals.

New Podcast episode just dropped! If you missed my essay "I had teenage Gender Dysphoria", I took this episode to simply read the essay out loud for the people who would prefer to listen rather than read.

To celebrate this sacred and very special international men's day, you should read my totally normal and very common account of being a man while autistic.

Continuing on in my trend of uncomfortable autism analysis and after many requests I have decided to give a full accounting on my experience having gender dysphoria as a teen and how it feels now that I don't have it and have to watch my friends go through it. Link below:

Probably half the emails I get to the podcast mailbox are like "Wow, I loved in your podcast when you said 'you probably aren't going to hell because you're autistic' that is the first time that I've heard that." and it kind of heart warming but also super depressing.

I love the hymn Jerusalem because it is an absolute banger but also the obvious answer to each question it asks is "No, obviously not", in a way it is like the opposite of Mary Did You Know.

New Podcast with Helen Roy just dropped!
In this episode we talk about the strange world of autistic Christian radfem adjacent gender fatalists, a group of disillusioned progressive and conservative women trying to figure out what to do about both gender and Christianity.

Sometimes as an autism researcher you stumble on a youtube channel and just know

Many of people calling Allie Beth Stuckey a conservative feminist would not last two rounds in the thunderdome against the average autistic christian woman. They are simply unprepared for the takes they would unleash.

If you've followed me on here you have probably noticed my fascination with the autistic Christian radfems so I just made a podcast about them with Marie (an autistic Christian radfem) about Autism and radfems and how Christian women navigate the tensions. Link below:

I love talking to autistic Christians because they will drop bangers like "I love that LCMS guy who raps his way through Luther's Small Catechism" with full sincerity

Sometimes autistic Christians are like "Wow, how did you describe this aspect of my life so perfectly, its like you read my diaries" and I have to let them know that if they posted their diaries somewhere online there is a pretty good chance I actually have.

People ask me how to read Paul and I'm not a theologian so I tell them to read a bunch of theologians. I've found one that works well for a lot of autistics is the Post-New-Perspective School of Paul so I had on Jon de Pue to talk about his book "Beyond Justification". Link Below

Sad, my "1 Autistic Christian vs 20 Normal and Socially Well Adjusted Christians who care about things that matter to most people" video proposal was just rejected, need to make another one ASAP

I had always joked 'what if refrigerator mothers were actually just autistic women' and since I've been reading more about Leo Kanner and his observations, I am no longer joking when I say that.

You may have seen this insightful meme and thought "Wow Jon, I hope you do a podcast episode about these weird nerds" and today your wish has been granted! This weeks podcast is about the autistic people involved in the inclusive orthodox movement featuring Richard Pryor from @earthandaltarmag.com

Sad, my paper "The TERF wars: Understanding Gender Critical and Trans conflict as inter-autistic community infighting" was rejected from every disability studies journal.

I learned the hard way that while the book "Pornography: Men Possessing Women" by Andrea Dworkin is an important and perhaps prophetic piece of literature, you should not read it on the public bus.
