Listen "suspended brain, projections: artwork statement"
Episode Synopsis
(suspended brain, projections): Are you projecting other people’s ideas all over my neurology? Head in the clouds, raising my consciousness with the help of the tech team, making my MRI 3D.

Society can project a lot of harmful stereotypes onto the autistic community. We commonly experience a world where people don’t understand our responses.
I want to project a future where autism is valued and stimming is seen as beautiful. I want to project my values of inclusivity onto you.
I hope this is a visual stim for you, or a conceptual stim - if such a thing exists. I think it does! I think that’s why I like theoretical ideas and poetry. In other words, I hope you are co-regulating with my art - and if you are, I’m co-regulating with you.
One of the reasons I like art so much is it is a way we can co-regulate with minorities, or with people in very different demographics, and collectively take responsibility for reconstructing and updating our society.
