Welcome to today’s team-up podcast with Dr. Katrina and licensed clinical therapist Portia! 🎙️ We’re diving into the Hulu show "Not Dead Yet," now in its second season. 📺 This episode focuses on Edward, an autistic character played by an autistic actor, giving us a great chance to discuss autism representation. 🌟 We’ll break down diagnostic criteria for autism but expect some laughs and tangents thanks to our ADHD. 😂 We explore Edward’s need for routine and organization due to OCD, his strong hygiene habits, and his challenges with humor and language nuances. 🧼 Edward’s journey in understanding others' perspectives is also a key point, illustrating how autistic individuals can develop cognitive empathy. 💬 Another critical topic is masking. 🎭 We see Edward sacrificing his own comfort to please a woman he's dating, a situation his best friend calls out. We’ll discuss the harmful effects of masking, comparing it to code-switching experienced by people of color, queer individuals, and women in the workplace. 🌈 Expect personal stories and insights from Katrina, Portia, Dr. Nas, and Spencer. 💬 This episode is packed with energy, humor, and valuable information about autism. We loved collaborating with Katrina and Portia and look forward to more team-ups in the future. 🙌 Enjoy learning about autism and the fun dynamics of our combined podcasts! 🎙️🧠📺 Thanks for checking out Different Spectrums!
