More in yep, autism is inherited: Little Shop of Horrors and Martin actress Tisha Campbell—who has been open for many years about being the parent of an autistic child—has been diagnosed autistic herself: www.usatoday.com/story/entert... #autism #neurodiversity

Desperately need to update the Autastic podcast community recommendations. Taking all suggestions under consideration. Black creators? Indigenous creators? Calling any and all POC podcasters centering autism and/or ADHD as well as co-occuring conditions. Whatchagot?

The refreshed autastic.com is live. It's not 100% finished—particularly the Autastic Shop—but the resources are spiffed up and I've added a couple of treats I made for us. Hopefully you can find what you need now 💛🧡💚
