Episode Synopsis

In this insightful and empowering episode of Femme on the Spectrum, hosted by Liz Bucher, the intersections of Roe v. Wade, autism, and bodily autonomy are explored in-depth. Liz discusses her heightened sense of justice, sparked by her neurodivergent mind, and the correlations between reproductive rights and the neurodivergent population. She touches upon the historic mistreatment of neurodivergent individuals, including forced sterilizations, and how these injustices continue to impact them presently. Liz emphasizes the critical importance of including neurodivergent voices, particularly women's, in discussions about reproductive rights. She calls for active advocacy for reproductive and neurodivergent rights, which she views as two sides of the same coin. She champions the rights to bodily autonomy for every individual and emphasizes the importance of standing fierce and vocal in advocating for these rights. The episode wraps up by reinforcing the essence of staying true to oneself while navigating through a world built for neurotypicals and advocating for one's rights.
