ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The component of Halloween that’s all about pretending lends itself to talking about autistic masking. What is it? Is it inherently bad? Why is it such a pervasive part of being autistic? Guest Donna Brendel joins Chelsea to give fresh insight in this episode.
Donna is a late-diagnosed woman on the autism spectrum, but she’s arriving on the scene just in time. She is the host of the podcast, “I Should Say That Out Loud,” and the author of two memoirs, Autistic Revelations: Body Edition and Career Edition. She’s turned her decades of personal autism research, for the sake of her children and herself, into a pursuit of study at university now, for the sake of humanity. She has more memoirs planned and would love to engage with you about your own curiosities in the autism realm for both her podcast and her research.
The following topics and terms, in order of their appearance in the podcast, might evoke some curiosity:
- Maya Angelou’s “The Mask”
- J.D. Barker episode of Donna’s podcast
- Autistic Advocate Kieran Rose on Autistic Masking
- “The Martian” (2015)
- Dissociation (WebMD)
