Hello and welcome to the unfiltered Autistic Podcast.

The Podcast that aims to give an unfiltered account of Autistic lived experiences, created and hosted by me Amanda Mc Guinness, an Autistic Autism and Visual Support Specialist and parent to 4 Neurodivergent children.

Having spent a lifetime filtering my true self, to be the person I felt others wanted me to be, I realised at the age of 39 I could no longer be that person.

It was time to be my true unfiltered Autistic self.

I realised I deserved to have the same compassion and thoughtfulness I put out into the world. I deserved to be me.

The Unfiltered Autistic Podcast is for and by Autistic people, safe place to share our stories of self-discovery, our stories of love and lived experience.

The Unfiltered Autistic Podcast is also a podcast for those who are not Autistic, those may have a loved one who is Autistic and for those who have the cultural humility to know that to truly understand the Autistic lived experience of the world, they must listen to Autistic voices.

Thank you for listening and thank you for being here with me.
