In this episode we explore the finite nature of personal energy and capacity. We refer to our own experiences and to wider "spoon theory".

The pace of this conversation is slow and relaxed; it's basically two autistic people hanging out together. If that's your vibe, we'd love you to join us 🧡💛

On that note, our Facebook community is growing fast and you would be very welcome there too - see the links below...

S1 E11: An indirect exploration of Jungian Sandplay

Leo enquires about Jungian Sandplay, a therapeutic modality Siana offers in her therapy practice. We explore Siana's demand avoidance about the prospect of speaking about this and then eventually get there in a perfectly autistic way.

This is a lovely illustration of "Takiwatanga" which we happened to post about on our Facebook feed this week. Takiwatanga is the Maori word for autism which translates as "in their own time and space".

S1 E13: Autistic Presence

We recorded this episode while we were together in Siana’s house last weekend. We explore co-regulation and bring in various ideas and theories from autistic, therapeutic and scientific communities to flavour our discussion.

We end up specifically inviting the non autistic community to join and get to know us and, most importantly, the autistic people around them.
