Autistic Christmas Carol
It’s Christmas Day and Nic and Kate are taking a festive detour: re-imagining A Christmas Carol through a neurodivergent lens.
Inspired by a brilliant story written by Nic’s child when they were 10, this episode explores the ghosts of Autistic Past, Present, and Future: from Victorian institutions and ABA therapy to today’s endless diagnosis debates and the worrying rise of “neurodiversity-lite.”
Nic and Kate talk about what a truly autistic-friendly future could look like, why advocacy feels like it’s at a crossroads, and how hope still sits underneath all the frustration.
Perfect listening…
