Hiking yesterday at a nearby state park.

The flowers are a little wilted but still pretty, I think.

Because two toys are better than one.

A listener who heard my last podcast about moving Autistic POV to a new platform said it was hard to tell the new podcast from the old on Spotify--so I changed the Autistic POV logo.
The old podcast has a purple background. The new one has a rainy day rainbow which I think is perfect.
The three main places where you can find the podcast going forward are listed below. I also added an image of the new logo for your reference.
I hope you'll take the time to find me!
Best wishes,
Barbara

Why Autistic POV is leaving podbean and how it relates to autism and increased focus. While the podcast will now be hosted on Substack at barbaragraver.substack.com it will still be syndicated to Apple, Spotify, and elsewhere under the name Autistic POV. You just might have to look for new episodes as the old Autistic POV won't be update.
Or simply join me on substack!
I hope to see you there and thank you so much for listening.

This is the intro to my new series on monotropism. I found out about the monotropic model of autism a few days ago and have just begun to learn about it. I don't know a lot as of yet (aside from my own lived experience as a person who definitely has monotropism as a trait) but I am intrigued and want to learn more and thought you might want to learn along with me.

In the episode I share how I rated my own autistic traits on a 1-10 scale and how I'm learning to think of these characteristics as differences, not deficits. Check out the blog post on charting my autistic traits here: https://barbaragraver.substack.com/p/charting-my-autistic-traits

A more nuanced look at the Telepathy Tapes podcast which I talked about in the first two episodes of my Autism and Psychic Abilities series. The first two episodes are:

Autism and Psychic Experience EP 10 ( #1 in series)
Autistic Traits and Psychic Abilities EP 11 ( #2 in series)

The resource I mentioned in the podcast is:
