Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I explore why so many autistic people find comfort and joy in things made for children — from TV shows and books to toys, music, and games. I talk about why predictability feels safe, how routine plays a big role, and why we shouldn’t be made to “grow out of” the things that make us happy. For me, kids’ media isn’t childish — it’s calming, joyful, and full of meaning. Maybe it’s not that autistic people never grow out of kids’ stuff — maybe the world just grows out of joy too soon.
