Meet My Brain podcast

Thanks for the podcast recommendation, sounds really interesting.

In terms of other autistic podcasts have you heard of 1800 Seconds on Autism? It’s quite funny, informal and interesting.

I think I have heard this one but couldn't relate much to it. I dip in and out of podcasts usually on topics related to my interests,  not so much autism. But I found meet my brain when searching for info about inertia. It's useful to get different perspectives and lived experience

Yes definitely, our community is so diverse.

Meet my Brain definitely sounds more in depth. What other podcasts do you like to listen to?

If you want more information about inertia these links might be useful:

Yes our thought processing is very different to non autistic people. The rate at which we process information and the amount that we take in is one of the reasons we reach over whelm quicker than non autistic people.

However, this thought processing style also means we are knowledge hoovers like you said earlier!

If that is true then no wonder we get as tired as we do. Actually I read somewhere this week, something to do with different thought processes in autistic people, even at resting rate. 

Generally speaking my head is very ‘noisy’ too. Obviously we can’t compare our internal thought processing with other neurotypes. However, I have read that we autistic people process 42% more information than autistic people even at resting rate. This would explain the ‘noisy’ head.

Yes its been noted by others of my use of language.  I come across quite well spoken despite my "common" accent. I often tend to need to choose the correct vocabulary in order to convey and communicate correctly in the way i want people to understand. As for grammar, this can be "incorrect" due to local dialect as I don't speak the queen's (king's? ) English. The only "snobbery" i have is when people say they were "sat on the sofa" when really it is "sitting" !!! But language evolves and this misuse is very common. I think communication is more important than accuracy.  There's no right or wrong way. I think it's more about a desire to be understood.
