Language is a minefield and choosing the right words is as much about cultural knowledge as it is about intent. In this episode, we analyse the words "normal", "f****t" and "same-sex attracted", amongst many others, to determine whether inappropriate words are born that way or made that way. So you know, we've marked this episode as having explicit language, but we don't actually swear. We only drop that other f-word and we try to do it in the least offensive way possible.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Spectrum Analysis: The Upside of Autism

We want this podcast to be a community of people sharing their stories about being gay, being parents, having autism, raising kids with autism and, in our case, all of the above.In this world, it's easy to feel alone and feel like no one understands you. Sometimes all you need to hear is someone else complain about their kids or struggle with anxiety and suddenly, you're not so alone. That's what we want to offer.We're not here to give advice. We may be a GP and a high school teacher between us, but that doesn't mean we know everything. That's not the point. We're not here to judge or teach. We are just here to be with you and hopefully, you'll hang out with us too.Please hang out with us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
