Look, you can watch Music if you like, but we only did it so we could comment on it, and there's a lot to comment on. From the use of physical restraint, to the difference between autism and Intellectual Disability, to the idea of the "magical disabled person", to casting autistic people in autistic roles, and finally listing better media about disability (TV shows like Speechless and Everything's Gonna Be Okay).

The Rainbow Dissection: The Tokenism Trap

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.
