Autistic Women Oversharing

In the season 2 finale of Autistic Women Oversharing, bestselling author, Geek Girl creator and now Bearded Dragon mum (???) Holly Smale joins the Sara/hs to chat about our coping mechanisms, the healthy, the uh… somewhat less healthy and the downright insane. 
Settle into your homemade triple-layer sensory deprivation system, strategically dissociate and grab your troll-eating tigers - it’s time to learn how to be the pilot of your own colour-coded life, no matter how unqualified you might be. 
Enjoy a few Autistic Women Oversharing firsts, including the first episode to be interrupted by a cockroach delivery and the first time Sarah reduces Sara to stunned silence. 
We’ll be back next season with more exciting nonsense. In the meantime, gently put your anxieties to bed and stay away from Fretsylvania. Until autumn - kloveyoubyeeeee (whatever that means).byeeeeeee (whatever that means).

Grab your massive ear defenders, your wrap-around sunnies and your weighted blanket - the hilarious Grace Jarvis is back with some good, and of course, very bad, advice on staying safe from all the most hideous sensory icks.
Join the writers of The Daily Tism as we explain why standup gigs for Autism Parents are a trap, who may and may not hug us and the essential components of a decent hug (squeezing good, back pats bad). 
Also in this episode, why mouth noises should be punishable by death, our handy guide for how to sneeze in different languages and the potential gadgets in Sara’s inevitable bionic teeth. Oh, and our thesis on why car horns should come with helpful tone indicators. Why aren’t we in charge of things? 
Enjoy the episode and we hope you manage to avoid the hazards of your sensory nightmares, as well as sugar-free sweets, motorbikes and door-to-door onion salesmen. Kloveyoubyeeeeee x

Our warm, fuzzy two-parter on autistic relationships continues with another very special guest: Sara's childhood best friend Robert! From meeting as two misfit kids to bonding over Top of the Pops to becoming Actual Proper Adults together, their friendship has stood the test of time (another reason for Sara to call herself old). Alongside some thorough, well-reasoned speculation on why they've managed to stay besties for so long, plus some really bloody good advice about being a better friend to the autistic people in your lives, Robert and Sara dig into their shared history for tales of 90s music, bitchy phone calls and brushes with pop stardom. And a VERY eventful trip to Italy.

Yes, yes, Valentine's Day is a total cash-grab, but love is real! And we can prove it! In this Very Special Episode, actor, presenter and content creator Charlie Merriman bravely subjects himself to a thorough grilling from Sara about what his intentions are with her co-host. If you want inspiring insights from a mixed-neurotype relationship, there's plenty of that. If you just want to hear about Austenesque first impressions, feeling like a prize heifer, shattering Sarah's tough-girl image, and how to be irresistible to men via the medium of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, there's a healthy amount of that as well. Strap in, and let's heap praise and affection on Sarah until all the comedy leaves her body!
Charlie Merriman is an actor, writer, presenter and commentator for Pokémon. His acting profile can be found @CharlieMerriman/@charliefpmerriman and Pokémon profile @Chazingdra across socials.
