Autistic Women Oversharing

The Daily Tism News returns in audio format for a very special - and very spooky - Halloween sketch show. Expect the latest news from across the Tismverse, with a paranormal twist that'd make Rod Serling beam with pride (probably). Warning: this episode features cursed videotapes, vintage autism charity commercials and as many pop culture references as our dorky autistic writers could cram into twenty minutes.Get it here or wherever you get your podcasts!Want more from our Halloween special?

Welcome to another bodacious bonus episode of Autistic Women Oversharing! This week, we were joined by a very special guest in the form of Holly Smale - bestselling author, co-creator of the hit Netflix show Geek Girl and autistic superhero - to talk about our autistic superpowers.  The Cold [Bean] War is upon us yet again. Before we do battle with coughing husbands, disobedient planes, and the forces of gravity, we must assemble our autistic Avengers, a veritable Autistic-Sense-of-Justice League, to beat back the bad guys with the powers of cat-sniffing, dog-whispering, and hand-delivered post-breakup reports. So join us for the thrilling adventures of 'Death-Girl', 'Crying Woman' and 'The Human Shazam' - same Autism-Time (now), same Autism-Channel (Patreon)! We often wish we had the power to see the future (at least so we could run a great racket on the Lotto numbers) - that's the mindbending reality faced by Margot Wayward, the protagonist of Holly's brand-new adult novel, 'I Know How This Ends'. A story about love in all its forms, and the courage it takes to hold onto it - available now at all good booksellers in the UK and internationally.Can't get enough 'Tism?

Buckle up, terrible autistics, it’s the season finale! Sara, Elsa and Sarah put on their Very Special Episode hats and ruminate on the concept of oversharing: what it feels like to spill our guts, staying well fed during an accidental orgy and what to do if your hemorrhoid becomes sentient (stay calm and open Snapchat). We’ll see you next season for even more oversharing. Until then, look after yourselves and each other, support our Patreon (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/thedailytism⁠) for bonus content, including an upcoming bonus episode where we take an ADHD test (gulp) and uh… k love you, byeeee!Can't get enough 'Tism?

Elsa's not here today! Left to improvise a co-host out of an octopus costume and a Cockney accent, Sara and Sarah get thoroughly weird about all the things they thought their autism would explain - but just turned out to be horrifying personal quirks. Learn how to lose friends and alienate people with tales of magical racist elves, cold baked beans and itchy teeth, and solve the locked room mystery of Andrew Hickey's eggy trousers.We'll be recording a live bonus episode of the podcast this Sunday the 22nd of June at 6PM BST!

We're finishing off the Autism Quotient this week and, spoiler alert, it doesn't get much better in the second half. Hear us cope with being boring, friendless autistics by: trying not to give people the stink eye during Teams meetings (Elsa), trying to go five minutes without mentioning we went to drama school (Sarah), and writing a post-watershed body-horror sitcom called Yoga Fart (who else but Sara?). At the end, we reveal our scores and crown The Ultimate Autistic*.*We don't actually. Even if we believed such a thing existed, none of us think we'd qualify.Can't get enough 'Tism?
