Autism Explained w/ Steven, a Professional Dog Groomer & Podcaster

Michele is recovering from burnout and focusing on making the podcast even better! We’re joined by Michele’s friend Amanda today as a guest co-host. Amanda is a writer and arts educator based in Philadelphia and was previously on episode 105. They discuss the home buying process, their paths to home ownership, the pros and cons of marriage, and how their relationships with their significant others are affected.

Today’s guest is Steven, host of the Ballistic Autistic podcast. Steven opens up about his childhood diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome, misdiagnosis of ADD, and the behavioral therapist he had at school. Steven discusses his career as a dog groomer and how he’s always been honest about his autism in the workplace. He talks about his hobbies, including archery, photography, and videography. They dissect the TV show Love on the Spectrum, Sia’s film Music, and representations of autism in the media. Steven tells us how his autism has affected his outlook on dating, love, and his relationship with his wife.

Therapy Roulette is switching to a biweekly format- episodes will drop every other Thursday.
