Listen "Communication Funnies - the Joy of the Autistic Mind"
Episode Synopsis
#1 A lighthearted episode to lift parents in particular's spirits after a long and no doubt tiring school summer holiday. Choosing humour over distress or anxiety or embarrassment and laughing not at our child but celebrating the joy of who he is and how genuinely unique, hilarious, sometimes downright weird some of the things he does and says are. They make us love him even more so here are some personal funnies. A reminder that there absolutely is so much joy in raising an autistic child, in the purest most astonishing form and to hold onto it in times of exhaustion and concern. #2 N/A#3 0:00 Intro00:55 pre-roll: reminder what this podcast is about.01:32 be a voice, not a whisper.03:33 celebrating autism not laughing at a child.05:19 parents do not want pity, second to not wanting their child or them judged.06:33 mid roll: price drop and changes coming soon.11:00 the funnies: echolalia; how was school today?; "stop your mouth"; the cactus and scissors; food & clothes tactics; welcome and now "say goodbye"; passport control echolalia; stealing chips.27:15 our joys: looking into my soul; touching others; blanket; intuition; cuddles; giggles; riding his bike.#4 summary:who I am and what podcast is for after August breakseeing the funny sidecelebrating the autistic mindparents don't want pitypersonal funny stories around communication & the literal mindour joys and privilege in raising an autistic sonrest#5 N/A#6 Calls to action:pre roll - who I am and why podcastmid roll - website and changes afootmid roll - price drop on tees#7 N/A# 8 not mentioned
