The Autistic Culture Podcast Network

We Believe Celebrating Autistic Joy is our Greatest Act of Resistance

The Autistic Culture Podcast Network is the first podcast network created by and for Autistic people to celebrate our culture, our voices, and our contributions to the world. Rooted in the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture and grounded in the social model of disability, our network offers a range of shows that explore everything from advocacy and identity to history, creativity, and Autistic  joy.

Across our shows, we spotlight actually Autistic perspectives and celebrate the depth, brilliance, and diversity of the Autistic experience. Whether you’re Autistic, questioning, or an ally looking to learn, the Autistic Culture Podcast Network invites you into a community where your weird is welcome, your passions are powerful, and your identity is culture. Discover the language, values, and traditions of Autistica — and join a growing movement that redefines what it means to be Autistic.

Invaluable! A Lifeline! A Homecoming!

This is so Much More than Just a Podcast.

This is The Autistic Culture MOVEMENT.

  • "The need to affirm autistic people is so important and I am so thankful how this podcast has helped me support my autistic son, my autistic students, and discover my autism as well."

    Maddy W.

  • "I love your podcast and listen to every episode :) Your celebration of autistic culture has helped me work through some difficult stages in my self-identification journey and I'm happy to be able to return the support."

    Veronica

  • "This podcast has made my diagnosis (AuDHD) a joyful, inspiring experience. So grateful for your highly entertaining and enlightening podcasts!"

    Ruth

  • "The conversations around autism and culture has been invaluable to our family. We LOVE the deep dives into autistically coded bits and bobs. Thank you both for your passion for sharing~"

    Julie

  • "Because I am a late diagnosed Gen X adult that has now gone down the spiral of research on autism, have been re-examining my childhood by drafting documents of my autistic traits that I tried to mask in grade school, noting relationship issues, workplace conflicts, and documenting medical and mental health problems that I have had in my adulthood, I have found comfort in realizing this is the way."

    Quinn A.

  • "Thank you my friends! When my son’s superhero play therapist recommended resources to me this was her top one! Her work and you wonderful humans have helped me to fully embrace my son’s beautiful brain, advocate for him, and help him navigate the chaos off this world. Oh and thank you for all the “huh?!” moments that are helping me to learn about my own beautiful brain! 😉"

    Bridget and Miles

  • "I love your podcast! I am a psychiatrist, and one of my jobs involves working with autistic adults. I learned about you from a patient who raved about you. Also, I have a 30 year old daughter with ASD level 3, and my other daughter is a PhD student at UCLA's Lord Lab researching families with autism, so indeed autism is a big part of my everyday life. Thanks for creating this wonderful resource!!!"

    Stiv P

  • "Thank you so much for this podcast, I see myself in every episode and feel like I am home. I'm female and turn 50 this year. I've long suspected I am autistic, yet my concerns dismissed and diagnosed as a cocktail of what I now know are co-morbidities of autism. I so appreciate your approach to embracing our strengths."

    Gillian

  • "Angela and Matt: You are awesome! Thank you for what you do. On my hardest days when I question if anyone gets me; I've got your podcast to look forward to."

    Sudni

  • "Matt and Angela, your Autistic Culture Podcast has been an incredible lifeline and wealth of resources for me since I discovered it. At 39, I'm one of the Elder Millennial girls funneled into 'gifted' programs in the early 90s who never received their (much-needed) Autism diagnosis. Thank you so much for helping me not only better understand Autism, but also myself. Autistica feels like home!"

    Brooke E.

  • "I'm a second supporter only because I did not realize that when my bank card was lost I got another one. Sorry! But I LOVE you all. I tell people about this podcast all of the time. I seriously love you both! "

    Karie Del Solar

  • "Thank you for creating and sharing such incredibly useful, joyful resources for and by autistic folks!"

    Erin B.

  • "I can’t fully articulate what your show means to me. A breath of fresh air? It’s the first time I’ve heard people say the things I think and feel about the world. Your podcast has been the most relatable thing I’ve heard. From a recently diagnosed person, I can’t thank you enough for the warmest homecoming welcome."

    Caleigh McKenna

  • "I just discovered your podcast and I am already obsessed and devouring every episode. Thank you!"

    Jen

  • "I recently discovered your podcast while trying to figure out what the heck a late autism diagnosis actually means for me. Thank you for helping me connect to Autistic culture. The podcast brings me so much joy and every episode I have several "aha!" moments of realizing, "it's not just me!"

    Amber

  • "I love the podcast! I am new to understanding myself as autistic and I am learning so much and really glad for the celebratory way you discuss autism. Thank you for being amazing!"

    Catherine Paul

  • "Hi Matt & Angela, You have been my lifeline the last couple months as I binged your podcast. I am autistic, have two autistic kids, work full-time as a college counselor, and am in my last year of a PsyD program with research focused on gender diversity and autism. I run www.AffirmingNeurodiversity.com and present workshops on supporting autistic students. Thank you for your work!"

    Lisa Macafee

  • "Your most recent episode was great, I listen to you as I work overnight (I own a bakery) , your positivity about our culture has helped through a rough year. I was diagnosed five years ago (at age 42) but it is still being processed. Hearing a positive spin on our culture and neurotype has helped balance all the negative talk and my own internalised ableism."

    Andy C.

  • "I recently figured out, at 49 years old, that I'm Autistic. This podcast has been helping me not only understand myself better but celebrate the parts of myself I had long been taught were wrong or shameful. Being able to look at myself through the strengths-based lens has been helping me peal back the mask that has kept me in near perpetual breakdown, and on disability, for the last eight years."

    Jonah

  • "I am a recently diagnosed autistic adult and have just found your podcast. In true autistic fashion, I am diving deep and listening to as many as I can while I work/drive/exercise. Thank you for this gift. There are episodes that have brought literal tears of validation to my face, and to hear you speak about autistic traits so positively has been very healing, even in a short amount of time."

    Nicole

  • "I love your podcast so much. I was recently diagnosed AuDHD and listening to both of you celebrate autistic culture brings me so much joy. Thank you for everything you do!"
