This episode opens with a discussion of the "Hamilton" theatre production. Leo delights in the complexity of the rapid lyrical genius, enjoying being caught up in the current and looking forward to revisiting it again and again. Siana's experience, in contrast, is one of overwhelm and withdrawal.

This is an example of polarities often seen within the autistic community and the significance of context when looking at our capacities and challenges.

Siana reflects further on wearing Loop™ earplugs to manage overstimulation - at the theatre, on the tube and recently when out in a social context. We compare this with other ways in which we and others use all sorts of "accommodations" to manage our external and internal relationships and interactions.

We then switch to speaking about communication within a therapeutic context, including aspects such as body language, eye contact and silence.

Thank you for listening to us. If you have any comments or feedback, positive or negative, we are open and would love to hear from you.
💛🧡
